The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating through its Sponsored Projects Administration Division, was awarded a $374,717 project grant by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The grant, titled "NSFGEO-NERC: Collaborative Research: Role of the Overturning Circulation in Carbon Accumulation (ROCCA)," aims to utilize long-term observations across the North Atlantic basin to quantify carbon uptake, carbon transport, and their...
This $184,955 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to San Jose State University Research Foundation, doing business as San Jose State University. The project aims to 1) estimate the uptake, transport, and storage of carbon in the North Atlantic Ocean using new data and modeling approaches, and 2) quantify the role of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in driving variability in the North Atlantic carbon sink. The...
This $440,044 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences aims to improve understanding of the role of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in driving variability in the North Atlantic carbon sink. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will lead a collaborative research project with partners in the US and UK to 1) estimate carbon uptake, transport, and storage in the North Atlantic using new data and numerical...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Geosciences awarded this $406,911 Project Grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop methods for enhancing spatiotemporal monitoring of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The key objectives are to: 1) Design and implement a framework for reconstruction of AMOC from indirect observations, 2) Extend historical AMOC records using machine learning...
The Regents of the University of California at Riverside received a $325k project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences on July 15, 2021 to conduct collaborative research quantifying the global and regional impacts of the slowdown in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation through June 30, 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system by expanding fundamental knowledge of the impacts of...
This $771,667 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a research project to reconstruct the history of deep ocean circulation in the North Atlantic over the last ice age climate cycle. The research, conducted by The Trustees of Columbia University, will analyze high-quality sediment core data to examine evidence of changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and its relationship to past climate change. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $284,446 to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) to conduct collaborative research on the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and its implications for climate change. The study will scrutinize recent predictions that such a collapse could occur in the mid-21st century, comparing statistical indices and simplified theoretical models to...
This $1,185,628 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science examining the evolving role of the ocean and atmosphere in decadal to multidecadal climate variability modes. The principal investigators aim to determine if climate modes characterized by alternating 20-40 year warming and cooling episodes in the North Atlantic, such as the Atlantic Multidecadal...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,001 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. The grant, titled "C-STREAMS: The Gulf Stream Control of the North Atlantic Carbon Sink", aims to quantify and understand the source waters that feed the Gulf Stream, measure and model the processes that modify the nutrients and carbon carried by the Gulf Stream, and understand how the Gulf...
The University of Miami received a $481,510 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on August 1, 2021 to complete work by July 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "Isotopic Indicators for Mechanisms of Organic Matter Degradation under High Productivity and High Carbon Flux Conditions (EXPORTS)" through the agency's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of the...
