The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $496,716 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) with a performance period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The grant supports research to better understand the dynamics and pathways of the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC), a critical component of the global ocean circulation and climate system. The research will evaluate potential and relative vorticity...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Geosciences awarded this $406,911 Project Grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop methods for enhancing spatiotemporal monitoring of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The key objectives are to: 1) Design and implement a framework for reconstruction of AMOC from indirect observations, 2) Extend historical AMOC records using machine learning...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $771,667 Project Grant under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, doing business as Columbia University. The grant, which runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027, will support a research project to reconstruct deep ocean circulation in the North Atlantic during the last ice age climate cycle. The project will generate high-quality, high-resolution paleoceanographic data, including...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant, awarded to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) on December 15, 2023 for $217,938.00, will fund the MEZCAL project to expand observation-based records of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) spatially and over time. The key objectives are to: 1) Design and implement a spatiotemporally complete AMOC framework from indirect observations; 2) Extend AMOC records backwards in time using machine...
This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), funds a collaborative research study to investigate the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and its implications for climate change. The $399,211 award to the University of Wisconsin-Madison covers a 3-year project period from February 1, 2024 to January 31, 2027. The research aims to compare statistical climate indices, simplified theoretical models, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $644,088 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to analyze 10 years of data from the West Greenland mooring array in the Eastern Labrador Sea. The research 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 boundary current system. It will also characterize the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $284,446 to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) to conduct collaborative research on the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and its implications for climate change. The study will scrutinize recent predictions that such a collapse could occur in the mid-21st century, comparing statistical indices and simplified theoretical models to...
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...
The Regents of the University of California at Riverside received a $325k project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences on July 15, 2021 to conduct collaborative research quantifying the global and regional impacts of the slowdown in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation through June 30, 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system by expanding fundamental knowledge of the impacts of...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution was awarded a two-year, $599,798 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support research examining Holocene upper Atlantic temperature trends and variability in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. Funding will enable analysis of paleoclimate records to better understand potential links between anomalous heat uptake and past fluctuations in ocean...
