Conducting controlled laboratory studies to characterize the community thermal performance and ecosystem functions (net ecosystem production and net ecosystem...
This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $1,309,760 will fund research into the relationship between tropical Pacific climate influences and atmospheric blocking events across different timescales. Specifically, the University of Hawaii at Manoa will investigate how El Niño-Southern Oscillation diversity and changes in the tropical Pacific mean state impact blocking characteristics and extreme weather event frequency in observations, past climate experiments, and new...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to explore the dynamics and predictability of coastal El Niño events and their relationship to the broader El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. The $644,460 award, which commenced on June 1, 2024, will be led by the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
The research investigates the underlying mechanisms driving coastal El Niño events, which can cause heavy...
The University of Hawaii at Manoa was awarded a $912,167 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to characterize key components of biological carbon cycling in the Pacific Ocean through March 2026. Under the award, the university will use profiling floats equipped with oxygen and particulate carbon sensors to measure production and respiration rates across the Pacific Ocean on a daily basis and over all seasons. Ship-based measurements will also...
This $415,924 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to investigate the large-scale dynamics of the tropical Indo-Pacific region during the Last Glacial Maximum.
