This three-year, $177,799 National Science Foundation Project Grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to advance understanding of glacial-age western North Atlantic hydrography. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will synthesize existing sediment property data from 30% more deep-sea sediment cores collected between 1994 and 2021. Isotopic and radiocarbon analyses of microfossils from cores spanning the upper 2 km of the region will provide new insights into...
This Project Grant award of $599,974 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project by the University of Washington to reconstruct the history of ocean ventilation and circulation in the Northeast Pacific over the past 23,000 years. The key objectives are to improve understanding of the marine carbon cycle and enhance the utility of radiocarbon dating for marine sedimentary records. The project will leverage sediment cores and apply genomic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to trace Pacific Ocean circulation and ventilation during the warm Pliocene epoch. The $387,909 award, made on August 15, 2024, will fund the generation of paleoceanographic records to test models suggesting a strong overturning circulation in the North Pacific during this period. The research will examine redox, temperature, and productivity proxies in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $952,374 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to conduct research on changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) during the last deglaciation. The project aims to quantify AMOC changes by combining data from deep-sea sediments, deep-sea corals, and computer models of ocean circulation. The research will yield insights into the processes leading to rapid...
This $350,334 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Delaware. The grant will support a research project to reconstruct changes in deep ocean circulation and water mass geometry in the South Pacific Ocean over the past 2 million years, with a focus on the Mid-Pleistocene Transition period. The project will use neodymium isotopes preserved in fossil fish teeth and foraminifera as proxies to investigate the relationship...
This $711,586 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at North Carolina State University to analyze thirty years of foraminiferal assemblages from the Santa Barbara Basin. The grantee will create a record of planktic foraminifera abundances from stored samples collected in the basin and connect the results to modern oceanographic measurements and older seafloor sediments. This will improve understanding of how climate change has...
This $372,515 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to document variations in the influence of the Southern Hemisphere on the Western Pacific Warm Pool thermocline over the past 1.5 million years. The principal investigators at Columbia University will analyze geochemical data from deep-sea sediment cores to determine the timing and patterns of subsurface warming in the Western Pacific Warm Pool relative to surface...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $194,444 Project Grant through the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to conduct collaborative research on the large-scale dynamics of the tropical Indo-Pacific during the Last Glacial Maximum. The project aims to reconstruct the tropical thermocline structure and wind patterns during this period by leveraging a combination of proxy data from foraminifera shells and high-resolution ocean modeling....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $644,088 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to analyze 10 years of data from the West Greenland mooring array in the Eastern Labrador Sea. The research project aims to quantify the temporal variability of the oceanic circulation, heat and salt transports, water mass components, and eddy processes in the West Greenland boundary current system. It will also characterize the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $652,604 project grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research titled "Collaborative Research: Glacial Deep Pacific Carbon Storage and Effects on CacO3 Preservation" from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2024. The grant will support research into glacial deep Pacific carbon storage and its effects on calcium carbonate preservation. The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental...
