This...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $206,258 to Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory to acquire oceanographic instrumentation needed for research aboard the R/V Marcus G. Langseth, a seismic and seafloor mapping research vessel. The award funds the purchase of a 600-meter seismic source umbilical cable, which will serve as a spare, and a CNAVX3 positioning system to enhance the vessel's capabilities in...
- This $521,672 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences will support the purchase of oceanographic instrumentation for two research vessels operated by the University of Washington. Specifically, the funding will be used to acquire: A Kongsberg EM2040 multibeam system for the 72-foot R/V Rachael Carson coastal research vessel ($217,371) A Kongsberg EK80 echosounder system for the 274-foot R/V Thompson global class research vessel ($304,301) This...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $6.5 million Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to design and construct a new generation of ocean-bottom seismographs for the U.S. academic community from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2024. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research support. Under this award, Woods Hole will deliver new ocean-bottom seismographs...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $467,057 in funding to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to acquire critical shipboard scientific support equipment for the R/V Neil Armstrong and R/V Atlantis research vessels. The key equipment being funded includes an emergency escape hatch for one of WHOI's portable radioisotope laboratory vans and a new meteorological and navigation (MET/NAV) foremast for...
- This $115,664 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds critical infrastructure upgrades and equipment for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's (WHOI) research vessels R/V Atlantis and R/V Armstrong. The award will be used to: Upgrade the degraded particle board benchtops on R/V Armstrong to chemical-resistant laminate and stainless-steel sinks. Provide two electro-optical slip rings to support operations of the deep...
This federal Project Grant award of $425,929 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides funding to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for the acquisition of a new digital gravity meter instrument. The new instrument will replace an older, failed marine gravimeter on the research vessel R/V Langseth, which is part of the U.S. Academic Research Fleet. This upgrade will help ensure the vessel maintains its high-level capabilities to support NSF-funded oceanographic research projects. By providing shared-use instrumentation, the award allows NSF-funded researchers across U.S. universities and organizations access to well-maintained, high-quality equipment for their research, reducing costs and expanding the base of potential researchers. The award period runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027.
