Key innovations include a compact buoyancy engine and a miniaturized,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $1,354,056 to the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography to jointly implement a new measurement technique called distributed acoustic sensing. This technique will generate high-resolution (10 m in space, minutes in time) images of ocean temperature and current velocity fields above a 34-km cable laid on the seafloor off the Azores islands. The goal is to...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) award of $281,057 to The Trustees of Princeton University, awarded on January 1, 2025, will fund a project to explore the concept of "depth sensitive thermography" (DST) for mapping atmospheric temperatures over large scales. The project aims to develop a novel 3D temperature profiling technique that utilizes the atmosphere's varying opacity across thermal infrared wavelengths, with the goal of enabling more...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $104,895 Project Grant to the University of Washington under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research investigating variability in air-sea carbon dioxide exchange in the Gulf Stream region. Through this award, the Principal Investigators will deploy one autonomous underwater glider and overlap its measurements of subsurface ocean properties in the upper 1,000 meters with data collected by three Saildrones...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $644,970 Project Grant to the University of Washington (UW) on August 15, 2025, with a completion date of July 31, 2028. The award supports collaborative research to investigate the role of atmospheric heat transport, radiation, and soil moisture on observed heatwaves, their representation in climate models, and future changes. Specifically, the project aims to: (i) analyze the physical mechanisms...
- This $784,389 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the causes of sea surface temperature fluctuations in the North Atlantic Ocean and their climatic impacts. The University of California, Riverside will conduct climate model simulations using the Community Earth System Model to explore the roles of natural variability versus external forcing factors like anthropogenic aerosols in driving the temperature changes. Specific...
- The University of Washington will receive $920,171 from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on convection, clouds, and sea surface temperature from November 2021 through October 2024. As part of the Geosciences program's goal of expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, this three-year Project Grant will support the University's study of...
- This $908,131 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to better understand how changing phytoplankton elemental use efficiencies may impact global ocean biogeochemistry as temperatures rise. A team of U.S. and U.K. researchers, led by the University of Southern California, will conduct laboratory experiments and field work to quantify the effects of temperature on nutrient elemental use...
- 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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of a novel ocean skin temperature sensor for uncrewed surface vehicles and buoys. The $349,299 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026, will implement a simplified technique using a special infrared wavelength band that reduces the need to measure downwelling sky radiation, a key challenge in obtaining accurate sea surface temperature measurements. This innovation enables routine infrared temperature measurements from buoys and autonomous surface vehicles, which play a critical role in understanding the ocean's absorption of carbon dioxide. The project will actively involve an early career scientist and an undergraduate student, providing hands-on research experience. The award is made to the University of Washington, a leading research institution with extensive expertise in executing complex, multidisciplinary research for federal agencies across various scientific and technological domains.
