The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $116,727 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for the project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: EAGER: ENERGY FOR PERSISTENT SENSING OF CARBON DIOXIDE UNDER NEAR SHORE WAVES". This project aims to utilize an unexplored energy source based on the nonlinear interaction of nearshore surface waves with the seafloor to enable long-term, uninterrupted CO2 flux measurements across...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $568,531 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to study recirculating flows and eddies in the nearshore surf zone. The 3-year grant under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will use mathematical models, available measurements, and artificial intelligence to explore three hypotheses related to surfzone eddy dynamics and their connection to wave properties, energy dissipation, and exchange...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $795,643 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund a research project from March 2023 through February 2026 to examine recent changes in sea level and circulation around the Grand Banks region. The project aims to investigate forcing mechanisms behind observed sea level anomalies, examine connectivity of sea level change between continental shelves and open...
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....
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a three-year, $496,146 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant will support the collaborative research project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NORTH ATLANTIC DYNAMICS - DEVELOPING AND EXPLOITING A LONG-TERM CAPE HATTERAS GULF STREAM TIME SERIES" from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. Under this award, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will work to strengthen understanding of 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $709,875 will fund research by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to reconstruct intermediate and deep water formation in the North Pacific over the past 25,000 years. The project will generate new stable isotope and trace element data from benthic foraminifera across a depth transect in the Northeast Pacific to calculate the air-sea carbon isotope component, a promising water mass tracer...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $468,282 in funding to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025. The award supports research into elucidating the processes that influence near-surface velocity structure in the coastal ocean through observations, numerical modeling, and comparisons to model results. Specifically, the award will fund research using existing HF radar measurements paired...
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 $495,521 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to better understand cold-season hydrological dynamics and lateral carbon export in North Atlantic salt marshes. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) will lead this 3-year collaborative project with the U.S. Geological Survey as a sub-awardee. The key products and services delivered through this funding include: Monitoring soil temperatures,...
