Project Grant 2524936
- 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 $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 $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded the University of Connecticut a $671,610 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research examining freshwater export from Icelandic rivers to the North Atlantic Ocean from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2026. The university will use computer simulations and drifting floats to track waters from the Icelandic Coastal Current as it interacts with peninsulas, bays, winds, and other ocean currents....
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $336,517 to President and Fellows of Harvard College from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The funding supports collaborative research analyzing 150 years of sea surface and subsurface observations to map whole-ocean temperature and detect circulation changes. This work aligns with the goals of the Geosciences program under the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number 47.050. This CFDA...
- The University of Texas at Austin has been awarded a $463,487 project grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate drivers and impacts of heat and freshwater changes in the North Atlantic Ocean. The project, titled "Drivers and Impacts of North Atlantic Freshwater and Heat Fluxes Unsettling Modern-Day Climate (DIMSUM)", will use observations, model-based tools, and novel analysis techniques to quantify heat and freshwater budgets,...
- The Regents of the University of California at Riverside will use a $510,732 National Science Foundation Project Grant in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to understand Southern Ocean heat uptake and redistribution in a warming climate from September 2021 through August 2024. As part of its mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system, this NSF grant will support basic research examining how the Southern...
- This $275,001 Project Grant award by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to understand how Earth's climate and oceans responded to the influx of meltwater from the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the last deglaciation, approximately 20,000 to 11,700 years ago. The research will generate high-resolution reconstructions of ocean-atmospheric and biogeochemical variability from marine sediment cores collected offshore Texas, focusing on...
- This $1,651,641.00 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to study offshore freshened groundwater (OFG) within the continental shelf offshore New England. The project will install sensors in boreholes to continuously measure fluid pressure, temperature, and resistivity, which will be used to refine groundwater models and improve understanding of OFG dynamics. Additionally, the project will engage the public through a...
This $1,288,555 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of new monthly estimates of changes in ocean heat and freshwater content. The primary goal is to improve understanding of past and future changes in ocean heat and freshwater, which are crucial for the health of the planet, economies, and communities. The University of Colorado will lead this collaborative project, working with international partners to systematically test mapping methods, employ additional data sources, and perform bias corrections. The results, including data products and software, will be openly shared with the research community to advance scientific knowledge of historical ocean changes through improved observation-based analyses. This project is jointly funded by the NSF Directorate for Geosciences and the UK's National Environment Research Council through the NSF/GEO-NERC Lead Agency Opportunity.
