The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $909,843 Project Grant through its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. This grant provides continued support for the Oceanic Flux Program (OFP), which has been measuring the export of particles from the surface to the deep ocean in the Sargasso Sea near Bermuda since 1978. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include:

  1. Extending the long-term time series of particle flux measurements at 500, 1,500, and 3,200 meter depths to enhance the quality and oceanographic context of the data record.

  2. Updating and calibrating OFP's sample processing and analytical methods, and curating the extensive sample archives for future study.

  3. Promoting collaborative research to maximize the interdisciplinary information obtained from the OFP samples and datasets.

  4. Conducting focused studies to identify deep flux trends, elucidate causal flux generation processes, and develop proxies for climate research.

  5. Providing education and training opportunities, with a particular focus on developing advanced image analysis tools including deep learning techniques to better exploit the OFP's extensive digital image archive.

The grant also includes a $42,690 sub-award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to fabricate and assemble mooring components for the particle flux measurement system.
