This $482,474 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) will fund a 3-year study to conduct observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs) using advanced ocean biogeochemical models. The goal is to improve understanding of the potential for iron fertilization to sequester carbon in the Southern Ocean, Equatorial Pacific, and Northeast Pacific. The OSSEs will leverage...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is focused on investigating benthic iron fluxes in the Labrador Sea, a critical region for deep-water formation and biological carbon cycling. The $134,212 award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will support research to identify and quantify iron sources from ocean sediments to the overlying waters, using sediment sampling, pore water analysis, and numerical ocean circulation modeling....
This Project Grant of $533,586 was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private non-profit research organization, on April 1, 2024. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports fundamental research to expand knowledge and understanding of the Earth system. The research funded under this award aims to quantify the transport and fate of carbon exported into the...
This three-year, $1,083,600 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research examining the dynamics of cross-shelf exchange in an Antarctic slope canyon. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will conduct numerical modeling and laboratory experiments to test hypotheses about dense shelf water transport and the onshore flow of deep offshore water induced by dense water descending the canyon. The...
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 $300,785 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to characterize the chemical composition and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter released by marine nitrifying microorganisms. The project aims to determine how this material contributes to carbon cycling in the deep ocean, which may help improve biogeochemical models and inform potential marine carbon dioxide removal activities. The research will...
This $477,793 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) funds a research project at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to investigate the impacts of climate change on the biological carbon pump in the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) region. The goal of the project is to develop a novel hybrid modeling framework that integrates observational data from long-term research programs with advanced artificial intelligence and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $634,711 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for collaborative research characterizing and quantifying carbon sequestration processes across the Andean convergent margin. The award period runs from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in...
This Project Grant award for $786,467.00, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project focused on advancing the understanding of mesoscale air-sea coupling and its impact on long-term climate variability over the Southern Ocean. The project will utilize a hierarchy of coupled climate models to explore how mesoscale air-sea interactions and associated sea surface temperature anomalies affect the large-scale...
This $632,314 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project led by the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The project aims to provide a better understanding of the physical and biogeochemical processes driving carbon cycling in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Using a combination of ocean models, autonomous observations, and satellite data, the project will characterize...
