The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will conduct collaborative research on combined waves and currents over multi-scale topography from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024 through a $313,734 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. Under the grant, UNC-Chapel Hill will investigate boundary layer dynamics and parameterization to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system, as outlined in the objectives of the NSF's Geosciences program...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to transform the understanding of how coastlines respond to shifts in storm climate patterns. The $893,081 award to Duke University, with a project period from August 2024 to July 2027, will develop new approaches to downscale global climate model outputs to forecast the waves and winds affecting specific coastlines, such as the Carolina coastline. This...
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 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 $274,917 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to enhance understanding of the dynamics and response of low-inflow estuaries to increasing aridification and extreme weather events. The primary goals are to develop numerical simulations of low-inflow estuaries using the ROMS hydrodynamical model, evaluate the circulation response to climate-driven changes in surface thermodynamic forcing and freshwater pulses, and...
The University of North Carolina at Wilmington received a $203,874 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences on August 1, 2021 to develop methodology for reconstructing prior river flows. The grant is part of NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in these fields and monitor science investments. Under the award, UNC Wilmington researchers will work to...
The University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) has received a $307,226.00 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study recirculating flows at the nearshore zone where waves break, the surf zone. The project will use mathematical models and existing measurements to explore three hypotheses: (A) that the recirculations can be identified from shore-based images, (B) that the recirculating...
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 four-year, $420,533 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into the dynamics of coastal buoyant plumes under upwelling wind conditions in the Winyah Bay region of South Carolina. Coastal Carolina University will collaborate with another institution to investigate the linkage between land-derived river waters and open ocean waters via buoyant plumes, assessing the role of river discharge, tides, and...
