Project Grant 2446499
- 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 $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...
- This $563,629 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to assess global oxygen inventory, trends, and variability through the intercomparison of observation-based gridded datasets. The key objectives are to: 1) identify causes of disagreements between different gridded oxygen datasets by conducting an intercomparison of oxygen data from in situ observational and model-based profiles, and 2) promote...
- This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $185,519 to The Trustees of Columbia University for collaborative research probing the ventilation efficiency of the deep ocean with conservative dissolved gas tracers in archived samples. The research directly supports the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
- 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,...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to trace Pacific Ocean circulation and ventilation during the warm Pliocene epoch. The $387,909 award, made on August 15, 2024, will fund the generation of paleoceanographic records to test models suggesting a strong overturning circulation in the North Pacific during this period. The research will examine redox, temperature, and productivity proxies in...
- 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 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....
- This $466,900 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research investigating gas exchange in the Labrador Sea through 2025. The University of Hawaii at Manoa, with the University of Hawaii Systems as parent organization, will receive funding to conduct observational and modeling work as part of the international Bubble Exchange in the Labrador Sea experiment in fall 2023. Researchers will measure air-sea invasion and evasion rates of various...
- This federal Project Grant award of $451,779 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to measure the East Greenland Coastal Current on the Northeast Greenland Shelf. The project aims to determine how much fresh, low-salinity water is carried from the Arctic Ocean into the North Atlantic and how this transport may vary as the Greenland and Arctic ice sheets melt. To achieve this, the award will fund the deployment of an...
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 deep ocean and improve climate models by addressing a significant gap in year-round oxygen observations in the North Atlantic region. The project, which has an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2028, is led by the University of Rhode Island, a public research university with extensive expertise in oceanography, marine science, and climate research.
