This $328,081 federal Project Grant award was made by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The project, titled "Unraveling the Extreme Near-Global Marine Heatwaves of 2023: Using Artificial Intelligence to Understand the Physics and Implications for the Future", aims to use observational data, climate models, and artificial intelligence to investigate the drivers of the record-breaking marine heatwaves that occurred globally in 2023. The research will examine the roles of surface heat, clouds, and ocean currents in causing these extreme events and their potential impacts on ecosystems and coastal economies. The project will involve a postdoctoral researcher and collaborate with Columbia University's Learning the Earth with Artificial Intelligence and Physics Center to build workforce capacity. No sub-awards are planned for this 3-year project, which will run from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027.
