This $415,924 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to investigate the large-scale dynamics of the tropical Indo-Pacific region during the Last Glacial Maximum. The project aims to reconstruct the tropical thermocline structure and wind patterns using ocean modeling and geochemical analysis of foraminifera sediment samples. This research will lead to a better understanding of how the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $186,352 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of South Carolina (USC) to conduct collaborative research on the influence of the Southern Hemisphere on the Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) thermocline over the past 1.5 million years. The project aims to extend the geochemical record of WPWP subsurface warming during previous glacial-interglacial transitions to better understand the pattern and potential role of...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution was awarded an $832,021 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to disentangle drivers of heat and freshwater transport through the Indonesian seas across timescales. The Institution will combine data from sediment cores with model simulations to investigate 1,100 years of changes in the Indonesian Throughflow. As part of this work, K-12 educational materials...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $434,814 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to conduct research on understanding the relationship between temperature and ice sheet changes in the past. The project aims to resolve past ice volume using foraminifera (foram) records by calculating and removing the ocean temperature effect. The research team will employ a new tool that uses past changes in atmospheric composition to...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a three-year, $149,067 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research to evaluate the origins of multidecadal variability in late Holocene Indian summer monsoon rainfall in Nepal. The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded an $860,285 Project Grant to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. The grant supports research to improve understanding of atmospheric circulation responses to variability in the Oyashio Extension frontal system in the western North Pacific Ocean. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will design and implement model simulations analyzing observations...
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....
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will receive $294,992 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant will support collaborative research to analyze 150 years of sea surface and subsurface observations in order to map whole-ocean temperature and detect circulation changes. This work aligns with the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through...
