Project Grant 2513617
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $799,904 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study the role of varying ocean circulations in climate change from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2028. The award will support research using an ensemble-overriding method with multiple climate models to quantify the effects of wind- and buoyancy-driven ocean circulation changes under various anthropogenic forcings. The work will...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $240,179 project grant to the University of California Santa Cruz under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) on January 15, 2023. The grant will fund the development of high-resolution paleoceanographic records from the late Miocene to early Pliocene periods (8.3-4.0 million years ago) at the central Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean. Specifically, the project will generate a UK’37-based sea surface...
- The University of California Santa Cruz received a $320,799 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on July 1, 2021. The project grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) and will support research to reconstruct global ice volumes over the last glacial cycle using models of Bering Strait flooding. The funding will allow UC Santa Cruz to conduct basic research expanding understanding of the integrated Earth system by strengthening...
- The University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) was awarded a $181,080 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) federal grant program. The grant will fund UCSC's project to decipher the role of the subantarctic South Pacific Ocean in Pleistocene climate evolution using sediment cores recovered from the JOIDES Resolution drilling expedition. UCSC will generate high-resolution climate proxy time series over the past two...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $952,374 project grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to conduct research on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation during the last deglaciation. The project aims to estimate changes in ocean circulation by combining data from deep-sea sediments and corals with information on meltwater release and ocean circulation modeling. The award supports a graduate student and three undergraduate...
- 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 $350,334 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Delaware. The grant will support a research project to reconstruct changes in deep ocean circulation and water mass geometry in the South Pacific Ocean over the past 2 million years, with a focus on the Mid-Pleistocene Transition period. The project will use neodymium isotopes preserved in fossil fish teeth and foraminifera as proxies to investigate the relationship...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $561,018 project grant to the University of South Carolina under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research examining three decades of foraminiferal assemblages in the Santa Barbara Basin. Over the three-year period from July 2022 to June 2025, the University will create a thirty-year record of planktic foraminifera abundances from stored samples collected in the Santa Barbara Basin, California....
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $335,736 Postdoctoral Fellowship (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to investigate past changes in ocean circulation and ice sheet variability in the early Pleistocene epoch. This project will utilize sediment cores collected from the North Atlantic in 2023 to build a detailed timeline of mean-state changes in the climate system and quantify the nature of ocean circulation shifts during this critical period when the Northern Hemisphere transitioned from ice-free to ice-dominant conditions. The three main goals are to 1) develop a high-resolution timeline of the sediment cores, 2) characterize changes in ocean circulation, and 3) quantify the relationship between ocean and ice sheet dynamics. This research aims to provide key insights into the future of coastal communities and infrastructure in the United States, which are increasingly threatened by rising sea levels and flooding due to the melting of polar ice caps.
