This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $260,071 to Rutgers, The State University to investigate water mass transformation processes in the Caribbean Sea. The research aims to improve understanding of how the Caribbean sea's role in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and associated heat transport are impacted by spatial heterogeneity in mesoscale eddies, complex bathymetry, and wind stress curl variability. The...
This $199,376 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to investigate water mass transformation processes in the Caribbean Sea. The project aims to improve understanding of how water masses are changing in the Caribbean and the processes driving spatial differences in mixing and transport, with implications for the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and future climate and hurricane predictions....
This $134,207 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to transform the scientific community's understanding and forecasting of coastline changes in response to shifting storm climates and sea-level rise. The project will develop new techniques to downscale global climate model outputs to produce detailed forecasts of the winds, waves, and water levels affecting specific coastlines, such as the Carolina...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $284,446 to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) to conduct collaborative research on the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and its implications for climate change. The study will scrutinize recent predictions that such a collapse could occur in the mid-21st century, comparing statistical indices and simplified theoretical models to...
This $221,255 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to better understand spatial variability in sea level change during the last interglacial period approximately 120,000 years ago. The grantee will develop high-resolution global models of mantle flow to predict dynamic topography change across the greater Caribbean region over this timeframe. They will also compile a comprehensive dataset of interglacial sea level indicators...
East Carolina University was awarded a $355,166 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. The grant will support the collaborative research project "North Atlantic Dynamics - Developing and Exploiting a Long-Term Cape Hatteras Gulf Stream Time Series" to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in ocean...
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...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $644,147 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for research titled "Collaborative Research: North Atlantic Dynamics - Developing and Exploiting a Long-Term Cape Hatteras Gulf Stream Time Series." The funding supports basic research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant, CFDA 47.050, provides $303,755 in funding to Georgia Tech Research Corporation to conduct collaborative research on reconstructing climate variability in the Southern Caribbean using coral and speleothem paleoclimate records. The 3-year project from September 2023 to August 2026 will generate high-resolution, precisely dated proxy records of temperature and hydroclimate from the arid Southern Caribbean region, which has...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $256,224 Project Grant to Texas A&M University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025. The grant funds research to examine how northward flowing water masses are modified in the tropical Atlantic Ocean before reaching the North Atlantic through advecting Lagrangian particles and tracers for 60 years in two versions of the MOM6 global ocean model. The research aims to provide...
