This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) in the amount of $202,000.00 supports research on the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) ramping rate on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and its coupled climate implications. The research, conducted at the University of Washington, will investigate the physical mechanisms that drive the pace and magnitude of AMOC weakening in response to increases in atmospheric CO2, as well as the potential impacts on regional climate in the North Atlantic. This work aims to expand scientific knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system, with a focus on climate processes and environmental changes. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an award date of February 1, 2025 and an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2027.
