- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $580,031 Project Grant to Oregon State University to develop new methods for identifying various types of turbulence and mixing regimes in the upper ocean. The primary goal is to characterize the energetics and anisotropy (non-uniformity in three spatial directions) of upper ocean turbulence resulting from different surface forcings, such as heating/cooling, wind-driven shear, and wave-wind interactions. The project...
- This $361,476 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of Pittsburgh to advance understanding of the two-way coupling between active matter and transport barriers in unsteady flows. Funded under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the three-year award will investigate how light-guided brine shrimp interact with and influence large-scale transport structures in electromagnetically driven laboratory flows. Through two aims, the grantee will determine...
