The National Science Foundation awarded a $495,676 Project Grant to the University of Delaware from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. The grant is part of NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system. Under this award, the University of Delaware will conduct collaborative research to advance knowledge of neodymium isotopes and rare earth element systematics in the South Pacific Ocean. The research...
This $349,370 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Coastal Carolina University from July 2022 to June 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The university will investigate the influence of ocean sediments on neodymium isotope signatures as tracers of deep water circulation patterns in the North Atlantic. Researchers hypothesize that sediments are a primary source of rare earth elements to ocean waters, in contrast to existing models considering sediments a...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $934,762 to Oregon State University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The funding supports collaborative research to better understand the geochemistry of neodymium isotopes and rare earth elements in the North Atlantic Ocean and their influence on deep water circulation patterns. The researchers hypothesize that ocean sediments are a major source of...
The University of Delaware was awarded a $192,648 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant falls under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system. Through this funding, the University will conduct collaborative research from July 2021 to June 2023 exploring the importance of the subtropical gyre and North Atlantic Current in past periods of interglacial warmth. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $387,909 to Lehigh University to conduct collaborative research on tracing Pacific Ocean circulation and ventilation during the warm Pliocene epoch. The primary goals are to: 1) test hypotheses about North Pacific deep-water formation and overturning circulation during the warm Pliocene; 2) trace the regional distribution of ocean ventilation; and 3) refine the use of redox, temperature,...
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 University of Connecticut received a three-year, $451,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on ocean circulation patterns during the Last Glacial Maximum. The university will use oxygen isotope analysis of microfossils from marine sediment cores to reconstruct Atlantic Ocean circulation approximately 20,000 years ago and determine whether southern or northern water masses dominated the deep...
The University of Delaware was awarded a $298,034 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) and will support research examining the Zonal Overturning Circulation. Over a three-year period from September 2021 through August 2024, the University of Delaware will conduct basic research to further understanding of the integrated Earth system and atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences as outlined...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will examine the influence of mesoscale eddies on deep-sea dynamics and larval connectivity along mid-ocean ridges. The $311,553 award to the University of Delaware will utilize a multi-scale numerical ocean model and observational data on larval supply and colonization to simulate hydrodynamically mediated larval dispersal in the East Pacific Rise region over a 30-year period from...
