Project Grant 2446498
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to expand scientific understanding of the integrated Earth system through investigations in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. The $290,552 award will recover, calibrate, and analyze oxygen data from an array of moorings in the Labrador and Irminger Seas in the North Atlantic Ocean. This will help characterize oxygen and carbon dioxide ventilation pathways into...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $333,276 project grant to Trustees of Boston College, doing business as Boston College, to recover, calibrate, and analyze oxygen data from an array of moorings in the Labrador and Irminger Seas in the North Atlantic Ocean. The primary goal of this collaborative research project is to advance the understanding of how the uptake of oxygen and carbon by the ocean might be changing and how these...
- This three-year, $177,799 National Science Foundation Project Grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to advance understanding of glacial-age western North Atlantic hydrography. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will synthesize existing sediment property data from 30% more deep-sea sediment cores collected between 1994 and 2021. Isotopic and radiocarbon analyses of microfossils from cores spanning the upper 2 km of the region will provide new insights into...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $710,587 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The grant supports research investigating boundary current ventilation in the western Irmininger Sea as part of the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth,...
- The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a three-year, $669,196 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research to probe the ventilation efficiency of the deep ocean using conservative dissolved gas tracers in archived samples. As part of its mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is focused on investigating benthic iron fluxes in the Labrador Sea, a critical region for deep-water formation and biological carbon cycling. The $134,212 award to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will support research to identify and quantify iron sources from ocean sediments to the overlying waters, using sediment sampling, pore water analysis, and numerical ocean circulation modeling....
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $644,088 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to analyze 10 years of data from the West Greenland mooring array in the Eastern Labrador Sea as part of the Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP). The project aims to quantify the temporal variability of the oceanic circulation, heat and salt transports, water mass components, and eddy processes in the West Greenland...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $795,643 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund a research project from March 2023 through February 2026 to examine recent changes in sea level and circulation around the Grand Banks region. The project aims to investigate forcing mechanisms behind observed sea level anomalies, examine connectivity of sea level change between continental shelves and open...
- This three-year, $305,901 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support research investigating the influence of subglacial discharge from Greenland fjords on ocean circulation and meltwater fate in the Labrador Sea. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will model subglacial meltwater plume transport pathways and quantify effects on winter convection, comparing subsurface outflow to surface inputs....
- This $482,474 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) will fund a 3-year study to conduct observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs) using advanced ocean biogeochemical models. The goal is to improve understanding of the potential for iron fertilization to sequester carbon in the Southern Ocean, Equatorial Pacific, and Northeast Pacific. The OSSEs will leverage...
This $1,119,712 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). The primary goal of the project is to recover, calibrate, and analyze oxygen data from an array of moorings in the Labrador and Irminger Seas in the North Atlantic Ocean. The new oxygen observations will help characterize the pathways of dissolved gases into the ocean interior, which is critical for understanding carbon cycling and the mechanisms driving ocean circulation changes in this globally significant region. The award will fund a six-year study leveraging an existing oceanographic mooring array, with the data expected to advance knowledge on how the ocean's uptake of oxygen and carbon may be changing in relation to circulation patterns in the North Atlantic. This research supports the NSF's Geosciences program objective of expanding scientific understanding of the integrated Earth system through investigations in ocean sciences.
