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 $482,354 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to study climate variability in the central tropical Pacific over the last millennium. The project will assemble radiocarbon-dated coral samples from the central equatorial Pacific to reconstruct monthly records of sea surface temperature and salinity conditions during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (850-1300 CE) and the Little Ice Age (1400-1850...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $267,901 will fund research into the response of the upper tropical Pacific Ocean to greenhouse gas forcing from August 15, 2022 through July 31, 2025. The award was made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grant will support a collaborative research effort examining how the temperature, currents, and thermal structure of the upper tropical...
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 National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,078,024 will fund research to reconstruct climate linkages across the tropical oceans over the last millennium through May 2025. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the University of Michigan will produce new paleoclimate records of sea surface temperature using the geochemistry of long-lived corals from the tropical North Atlantic and western Indian Ocean....
This $749,164 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to reconstruct climate linkages across the tropical oceans over the last millennium. The University of California, Santa Barbara will collaborate with researchers to produce records of tropical sea surface temperature variability using geochemistry from long-lived corals in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. Comparing multi-century coral data from these ocean basins...
This $172,778 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to test climate model predictions of hydrologic change in the tropical Atlantic during a past warm period. Specifically, the awardee, Utah State University, will geochemically analyze oxygen isotopes and magnesium-to-calcium ratios in planktonic foraminifera from deep-sea sediment cores at several sites, including Ocean Drilling Project Site...
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...
This $498,929 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort to investigate the decay mechanisms of internal tides across the equatorial Pacific and quantify their impact on the regional heat budget. The project will leverage high-resolution numerical ocean simulations to examine internal tide dynamics, energy transfers, and mixing processes, with the goal of improving understanding of how internal tides...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort to trace Pacific Ocean circulation and ventilation patterns during the warm Pliocene epoch. The $387,909 award, dated August 15, 2024, will fund the generation of new paleoceanographic records to test hypotheses about active North Pacific deep-water formation and overturning circulation during this warmer-than-present geological interval. The primary goals...
