Project Grant 2524951
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $347,930 Project Grant to the Georgia TECH Research Corporation, doing business as the Office Of Sponsored Programs, to support the project "MAPPING DISSOLVED OXYGEN USING OBSERVATIONS AND MACHINE LEARNING" from August 15, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The project aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through the use of machine learning techniques to map dissolved oxygen levels based on...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $1,119,712 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) on August 15, 2025. The primary goal of this collaborative research project is to recover, calibrate, and analyze six years of moored oxygen data from the Labrador and Irminger Seas in the North Atlantic Ocean. This data will help characterize the pathways and mechanisms controlling the uptake of oxygen and carbon dioxide by the ocean in...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $400,000 over 3 years to the Regents of the University of Michigan to develop a novel self-powered multimodal MEMS sensor system that can simultaneously detect pH, pressure, and temperature in marine environments. The researchers aim to create an innovative, highly sensitive, and energy-efficient sensor to support marine carbon dioxide removal (MCDR) efforts by providing uninterrupted,...
- This $622,016 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the collaborative development of a novel self-powered, multimodal pH, pressure, and temperature MEMS sensor system for marine carbon dioxide removal (MCDR) monitoring. The project involves researchers from the University of North Texas, University of Michigan, and University of California San Diego working to design, fabricate, and test this innovative sensor array to provide...
- This $125,722 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to develop an effective ocean oxygen sampling strategy through 2026. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University of Texas at Austin will use existing oxygen observations and numerical models to calculate float populations and distributions needed to resolve oxygen changes over space and time. Models will also assess how historical and additional oxygen data can reduce uncertainty in understanding...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $633,090 Project Grant to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography to update and advance an automated oxygen titrator instrument necessary for trusted measurement of dissolved oxygen concentrations in seawater. This critical instrument supports the Scripps Oceanographic Data Facility's thousands of annual dissolved oxygen measurements, which constitute reference-quality data for...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $195,406 to the University of Washington to develop CALANOID, a modular, low-cost, and air-deployable ocean profiling float system. The goal is to enable dense, distributed in-situ observations of submesoscale ocean dynamics that are critical for understanding ocean mixing and climate. Key innovations include a compact buoyancy engine and miniaturized CTD sensor. The project fosters...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $563,629 Project Grant to Georgia Tech Research Corporation to conduct a collaborative research study assessing global oxygen inventory, trends, and variability through the intercomparison of observation-based gridded datasets. The project aims to identify the causes of disagreements between different gridded oxygen datasets by conducting an intercomparison of oxygen datasets from common in situ observational and...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $333,276.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Trustees of Boston College. The primary goal of this 3-year project, which runs from August 15, 2025 to July 31, 2028, is to recover, calibrate, and analyze oxygen data from an array of moorings in the Labrador and Irminger Seas of the North Atlantic Ocean. This data will help characterize the pathways of dissolved gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide,...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded Oregon State University a $398,778 Project Grant to support research and development of submersible humidity sensors for measuring surface air humidity and evaporation flux on autonomous ocean floats from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. Under the award, OSU will collaborate on research and development of new humidity sensors as part of the federal Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the development of a new dissolved oxygen sensor for integration on deep Argo floats. The $1,203,412 award, spanning October 2025 to September 2028, will simplify usage and improve the quality and scientific value of dissolved oxygen measurements collected in the deep ocean. The new sensor technology will help resolve top-to-bottom regional to global ocean oxygen fluctuations at subseasonal-to-decadal time scales. The project will also test the capacity of machine learning algorithms to predict the vertical distribution of ocean carbon in the deep ocean using temperature, salinity, and oxygen measurements. This work is being conducted through a collaboration between academia (University of California San Diego) and a U.S.-based commercial company that develops and sells oceanographic sensors and instrumentation.
