The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $536,577 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to develop an innovative Artificial Intelligence (AI) system to analyze satellite measurements and high-resolution ocean model outputs. The project aims to detect and measure ocean fronts - boundaries between water masses with different properties - and estimate the heat content of the ocean's upper mixed layer. The researchers plan...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $320,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Delaware. The funding will support collaborative research to empower artificial intelligence (AI) to reveal phytoplankton community dynamics in coastal oceans. The project aims to address the scarcity of in-situ data for estuarine-coastal phytoplankton by constructing a large-scale database of phytoplankton observations, enabling global data sharing. It will...
This $328,081 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) will support research at Columbia University to understand the drivers of the extreme marine heatwaves that occurred globally in 2023. The project will use observational data, climate models, and artificial intelligence to investigate the roles of surface heat, clouds, and ocean currents in causing these marine heatwaves, which...
