- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant of $195,406 awarded to the University of Washington aims to develop CALANOID, a modular, low-cost, air-deployable ocean profiling float system. The project seeks to advance the state of the art in ocean sensing technology by designing and validating a scalable profiling platform to capture high-resolution submesoscale ocean dynamics data. Key innovations include a compact buoyancy engine and a miniaturized,...
- This $690,650 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development and testing of a field-ready, cost-effective sound playback system for conducting eco-acoustic and marine larval settlement studies. The system will enable researchers to easily manipulate and introduce sound cues in field experiments to investigate how sound impacts diverse marine fauna, with a focus on coral reef ecosystems. The 2-year effort will build,...
- This $241,274 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to develop biohybrid jellyfish instrumented with sensors for low-cost, energy-efficient oceanographic measurement. The University of South Florida is leading this multidisciplinary effort, which focuses on four distinct jellyfish species to investigate microelectronic control, locomotion efficiency, and environmental monitoring capabilities of these...
- This $299,998 EAGER project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the University of Washington's investigation into the use of biodegradable bioplastics for oceanography drifting buoys. The project aims to develop a more eco-friendly approach to experimental oceanography by researching the use of biodegradable materials for buoy construction. This women-led effort would provide training opportunities for students in polymer science,...

- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology, under CFDA Program 47.074 Biological Sciences, is providing $103,398 to Florida International University (FIU) to develop a novel seafloor sensor/sampler system and associated machine learning control systems. The goal is to better understand how tidal pumping and subsurface currents influence seafloor oxygenation and sedimentary carbon cycling. The project will provide mentoring and field...
- This $860,751 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project conducted by the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to identify "biological hotspots" - areas of high marine productivity - in the open ocean. The project uses Northern elephant seals fitted with tracking devices as "ocean explorers" to map the 3-dimensional distribution of these hotspots, estimate fish biomass in the ocean's...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $880,490 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Washington (UW) to test a new type of distributed acoustic sensing technology. The project aims to extend the range of this technology, which can detect signals such as earthquakes, ocean waves, whale songs, and ship movements, by enabling it to operate across the optical repeaters of submarine telecommunications cables. Over 3 months, the project will collect...
