This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $227,396 to Colorado State University to conduct collaborative research on analyzing global seismic data to understand and quantify the evolution of ocean wave activity and its impact on Earth systems. The project aims to advance the understanding of long-term observational records of Earth's microseism field, investigate geophysical source processes driving seismic signals generated...
This $445,139 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration to improve imaging of Earth's interior, particularly the mantle beneath the South Pacific. The researchers will use data from a new type of free-floating ocean instrument called MERMAID to update and enhance models of mantle wavespeeds and discontinuities. This will provide new insights into mantle...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $260,172 Project Grant to The University of Southern Mississippi for the collaborative research project "PROBING INTERNAL GRAVITY WAVE DYNAMICS AND DISSIPATION USING GLOBAL OBSERVATIONS AND NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS." This project under the NSF's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program will map the space-time geography of internal gravity wave (IW) dissipation and mixing, and the underlying dynamics, using high-resolution...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $353,715 will fund a collaborative research project to study the turbulence in the stratified layer at the air-water interface, as driven by waves and wind. The project will utilize a combination of controlled laboratory experiments and advanced numerical simulations (large-eddy simulations) to test the hypothesis that coupling between waves and wind-driven currents is necessary to...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $6.5 million Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to design and construct a new generation of ocean-bottom seismographs for the U.S. academic community from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2024. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research support. Under this award, Woods Hole will deliver new ocean-bottom seismographs...
This $249,924 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of a long-lived, continuously operating seafloor geodesy reference station capable of operating in deep water. The grantee, Princeton University, will investigate using acoustic signals that only need to travel from the sea surface to the seafloor, removing the prior 3,000 meter depth limitation of existing seafloor geodesy techniques. This new approach involves...
This $225,566 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to characterize oceanic storm systems using microseism data. The awardee, President and Fellows of Harvard College doing business as Harvard University, will establish relationships between ground motion signals recorded by seismic stations and buoys and tropical cyclone parameters like wind speed and location. This work is the first step toward developing a seismic-based...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $164,729 two-year Project Grant to Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on March 1, 2021. The grant supports collaborative research investigating the relationship between ocean surface gravity-capillary waves, surface-layer hydrodynamics, and air-sea momentum flux. The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $968,823 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to advance research on the impacts of surface waves on ocean chemistry and ecosystems. The 3-year project, titled "SWEL: Surface Wave Effects on Upwelling and Ecosystem Linkages", will utilize advanced computer models and real-world data to investigate small-scale ocean phenomena, such as currents and wave dynamics, and...
