This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $267,901 will fund research into the response of the upper tropical Pacific Ocean to greenhouse gas forcing from August 15, 2022 through July 31, 2025. The award was made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grant will support a collaborative research effort examining how the temperature, currents, and thermal structure of the upper tropical...
This $908,131 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to better understand how changing phytoplankton elemental use efficiencies may impact global ocean biogeochemistry as temperatures rise. A team of U.S. and U.K. researchers, led by the University of Southern California, will conduct laboratory experiments and field work to quantify the effects of temperature on nutrient elemental use...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $326,726 Project Grant to the California Institute of Technology under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop a theoretical framework for abyssal ocean circulation. Over a three-year period from February 2022 through January 2025, the awardee will build a hierarchy of dynamical models exploring the interaction between bottom-intensified mixing over slopes and interior abyssal flows and stratification. The models...
The Regents of the University of California at Riverside will use a $510,732 National Science Foundation Project Grant in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to understand Southern Ocean heat uptake and redistribution in a warming climate from September 2021 through August 2024. As part of its mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system, this NSF grant will support basic research examining how the Southern...
The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) was awarded a $139,554 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant is part of the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system. Under the award, Caltech will conduct a collaborative research project on particle scavenging controls on trace element distributions. The three-year project beginning September 1, 2021 will...
This $696,515 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research and outreach on variations in the pace of surface temperature change. The awardee, University of California Santa Cruz, will conduct statistical analysis of global climate observations to identify regions and periods with accelerated warming rates over the past two centuries. Model simulations will determine the causes of detected changes and quantify future warming rates...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $475,737 under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. This three-year Project Grant, beginning October 1, 2021 and ending September 30, 2024, will support research entitled "DATA MINING THE DEEP: COMBINING GEOCHEMISTRY AND IMAGING SPECTROSCOPY TO QUANTIFY THE IMPACT ON OCEAN CHEMISTRY OF DEEP HYDROTHERMAL CIRCULATION AT MID-OCEAN RIDGES."...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $374,314 to Yale University to investigate changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene era, around 3 million years ago, as an analog for understanding the ocean's response to modern climate warming. The researchers will use data and models to quantify the impacts of temperature-sensitive mechanisms, such as circulation changes and biological processes,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) focuses on understanding how changing environmental conditions, particularly rising ocean temperatures, will impact marine ecosystems and the availability of marine resources. The $738,152 award, effective June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2030, supports an integrated approach that combines physiological assays, community-level experiments, and numerical modeling to forecast the effects of temperature on...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to investigate hydrothermal alteration and marine chemistry in Proterozoic ophiolites, which are ancient pieces of ocean floor. The $328,588 award to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) will fund analysis of iron, strontium, and oxygen isotopes in rock samples to reconstruct past ocean oxygen levels and seawater composition from 750 million to 2 billion years...
