This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project led by The Johns Hopkins University to measure the East Greenland Coastal Current on the Northeast Greenland Shelf. The $142,542 award, effective December 1, 2024 through November 30, 2028, seeks to quantify the volume, heat, and freshwater transports of this current and compare them to the nearby East Greenland Current. The project will deploy an array...
This $1,822,863 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to measure the East Greenland Coastal Current on the Northeast Greenland Shelf. The project seeks to quantify the volume, heat, and freshwater transports of this current and compare them to the neighboring East Greenland Current. Key activities include deploying an array of six moorings to collect continuous measurements of temperature, salinity, and...
This three-year, $623,876 National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences project grant funds research at Oregon State University to investigate shelf and open-ocean interactions in the southern African region through process modeling. Specifically, the awardee will use modeling to characterize interactions between the Agulhas Current, Agulhas Bank, and southern Benguela upwelling region and evaluate their sensitivity to climate variability and climate change. The central hypothesis is...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the interactions between internal waves and submesoscale currents in the ocean's bottom boundary layer. The total award is $418,382 over a period of 3 years, from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027.
