- This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs, totaling $107,969, will fund research at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography to quantify the impacts of mesoscale eddy processes on ocean carbon content and air-sea carbon dioxide fluxes in the Southern Ocean. The researchers will use the 1/6-degree resolution Southern Ocean State Estimate bioogeochemical model to explore relationships between eddies, ocean carbon content, and air-sea CO2 fluxes....
- This $321,184 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs Project Grant will support research into carbon levels in the Arctic Ocean through the "Carbon Levels at the Arctic Salinity-Stratified Sea Ice Edge" project. The University of Hawaii will measure key carbon parameters in the marginal ice zone of the Beaufort Sea in collaboration with scientists funded through the NASA Physical Oceanography Program's "Salinity and Stratification at the Sea Ice Edge" project....
- This Project Grant award for $540,281 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between U.S. and U.K. scientists to better understand the linkages between the oceanic cycles of iron and carbon. The research aims to characterize the "colloidal shunt" mechanism, whereby dissolved iron forms aggregates with organic carbon to create particulate matter that sinks out of the upper water column. The project will...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $221,015 to the University of New Hampshire from February 2022 to January 2024 to investigate changes in Arctic Ocean phytoplankton and track the vertical export of organic carbon they produce. Working with optical oceanography experts at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the University will analyze data from 2010-2021 field campaigns measuring inherent and apparent optical...
- This $184,955 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to San Jose State University Research Foundation, doing business as San Jose State University. The project aims to 1) estimate the uptake, transport, and storage of carbon in the North Atlantic Ocean using new data and modeling approaches, and 2) quantify the role of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in driving variability in the North Atlantic carbon sink. The...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $568,104 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Delaware (UDE) to collect high-resolution carbon isotope data on GO-SHIP cruises in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The goal is to use the data to constrain ocean carbon uptake and storage, which will provide insights into anthropogenic CO2 uptake rates. The project centers on deploying a custom seagoing dissolved inorganic carbon extraction system coupled with a...
- This Project Grant award of $231,050 from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research to investigate the mechanisms that relate ocean circulation in the open ocean to ice sheet melt in Antarctica. The primary objectives are to: 1) Quantify the pathways of Circumpolar Deep Water from its origin in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to the Antarctic continental slope, and 2) Determine the physical mechanisms that govern the variability of these pathways. The...
- This $632,314 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project led by the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The project aims to provide a better understanding of the physical and biogeochemical processes driving carbon cycling in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Using a combination of ocean models, autonomous observations, and satellite data, the project will characterize...
- This $433,991 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research by the University of South Florida to investigate whether the deep Indian Ocean served as an anomalous carbon reservoir during the last Ice Age. The researchers will analyze microscopic fossils in sediment cores to determine if deep Indian Ocean waters were significantly older in radiocarbon content, which could indicate substantial carbon storage in this...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $517,526 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to quantify uncertainties in air-sea CO2 flux variability and the background ocean carbon sink, and determine data requirements to reduce these uncertainties. Key objectives include: 1) Quantifying regional-scale uncertainties in the background ocean carbon sink using a...
