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 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 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 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 The Johns Hopkins University a $466,423 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for work spanning March 15, 2023 through February 28, 2026. The university will utilize ocean models to understand how melting Arctic ice and precipitation influence ocean currents in the North Atlantic. Researchers will track Arctic waters using novel approaches including artificial intelligence to determine the fate of Arctic water and sources of unusually...
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. The research will combine theoretical concepts, analyses of existing measurements, and computer modeling to assess how these wave-current interactions affect mixing and...

The grant will fund research studying glacial fjords, ecosystems and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded the University of Connecticut a $671,610 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research examining freshwater export from Icelandic rivers to the North Atlantic Ocean from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2026. The university will use computer simulations and drifting floats to track waters from the Icelandic Coastal Current as it interacts with peninsulas, bays, winds, and other ocean currents....
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,999 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) for the project "EMBRACE-OCE-SEED: Variability and Trends in Agulhas Current Water Mass Properties." The project aims to quantify changes in water mass transports within the Agulhas Current, a major western boundary current in the South Indian Ocean, using high-quality repeat hydrographic data collected from 1987-2023. The...
