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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $644,088 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to analyze 10 years of data from the West Greenland mooring array in the Eastern Labrador Sea. The research project aims to quantify the temporal variability of the oceanic circulation, heat and salt transports, water mass components, and eddy processes in the West Greenland boundary current system. It will also characterize the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Polar Programs grant program (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research effort to investigate how physical oceanographic processes, such as water circulation and mixing, shape the productivity of fjord ecosystems in Greenland. The $1,038,209 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund field observations, computer modeling, and analysis to elucidate the linkages between physical transport...
This five-year, $565,180 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on the impacts of global changes on glacial fjords, ecosystems, and communities in Greenland. The awardee, Bigelow Laboratory For Ocean Sciences, will partner with Pinngortitaleriffik / Gronlands Naturinstitut to study glacial fjords, ecosystems, and local communities in Greenland through 2026. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $963,676 Project Grant to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NNA RESEARCH: GLOBAL CHANGES, LOCAL IMPACTS: STUDY OF GLACIAL FJORDS, ECOSYSTEMS AND COMMUNITIES IN GREENLAND" from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2026. The grant will fund research studying glacial fjords, ecosystems and...
This $473,058 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, funded through the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) program, supports research investigating the fate of freshwater and heat in Baffin Bay and the processes influencing shelf and slope circulation. Led by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the project will analyze hydrographic and velocity data collected during a 2021 survey of Baffin Bay by the US Coast Guard Cutter Healy. Researchers from six foreign institutions will collaborate to...
This $399,105 National Science Foundation project grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research investigating the influence of subglacial discharge from Greenland ice sheets on ocean circulation in the Labrador Sea. Over a three-year period ending September 2025, the University of Georgia Research Foundation will model subglacial meltwater transport pathways and quantify effects on winter convection. The research aims to identify whether subsurface meltwater from East...
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 three-year, $305,901 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support research investigating the influence of subglacial discharge from Greenland fjords on ocean circulation and meltwater fate in the Labrador Sea. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will model subglacial meltwater plume transport pathways and quantify effects on winter convection, comparing subsurface outflow to surface inputs....
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...
