The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) Inc. was awarded a $435,865 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences to operate a community marine-atmospheric sampling facility in Bermuda from February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2025. Under this award, BIOS will provide continued operation of its Tudor Hill, Bermuda facility to collect marine and atmospheric samples for the Geosciences program. The Geosciences program aims to expand understanding of the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $533,566 Project Grant to the University of Miami under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support the acquisition of an Aerosol Characterization System. The System will be operated at the University's Ragged Point site in Barbados and is expected to open new research avenues related to the transport of African dust to the Americas, the impact of ocean-derived organic aerosols in the marine boundary layer, wildfire smoke, and cloud and radiation...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $176,168 to the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) to purchase oceanographic instrumentation and equipment in support of research vessel operations and multidisciplinary oceanographic research.
The award will fund the acquisition of Seapoint fluorometers, meteorological sensors, and refrigeration/freezer equipment for the R/V Atlantic Explorer, a 168-foot general-purpose...
This $197,103 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research between U.S. and U.K. scientists to better understand the linkages between iron and organic carbon cycles in the ocean. The research will integrate field observations from the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study and Cape Verde Ocean Observatory regions with targeted experimental studies and ocean biogeochemical modeling. The project aims to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $480,579 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Florida International University (FIU) to develop an affordable and efficient in-situ pumping system to collect beryllium-7 samples from seawater. The system will be used to estimate vertical ocean mixing and oxygen utilization rates in the Sargasso Sea near Bermuda over a two-year period beginning March 2025. The project supports instrument development and provides hands-on...
This $302,035 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund an observational study at Texas A&M University to quantify the impact of nearshore processes on air-sea momentum transfer. The project aims to identify and systematically measure coastal processes and features that alter nearshore air-sea momentum exchange, leveraging an extensive data set collected at the Army Field Research...
This $562,895 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to better understand the linkages between the oceanic cycles of iron and organic carbon. The research, conducted by a team of U.S. and U.K. scientists, aims to characterize the "colloidal shunt" mechanism whereby dissolved iron forms aggregates with organic matter, resulting in the vertical export of both particulate iron and organic...
This $132,288 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site program at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) during 2024-2026. The program will engage 7 undergraduate students annually in 12-week research projects and professional development activities in a range of marine science areas, including opportunities to participate in a research cruise. The award supports...
This $2,530,479 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support frontier space physics research at the Millstone Hill Geospace Facility, a crucial observatory for studying the near-Earth space environment. The 5-year project, running from May 2025 to April 2030, will focus on advancing scientific understanding of subauroral plasma and neutral dynamics, linkages between the lower and upper atmosphere, and the multi-scale structure of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a two-year time-series study of size-fractionated aerosol samples collected near Bermuda in the North Atlantic Ocean. The $571,384 award to the University of Delaware aims to: 1) analyze temporal variations in the size distribution of aerosol trace elements like iron, 2) quantify lower and upper estimates of potentially bioavailable iron, 3) investigate the chemical...
