The University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography received a $835,425 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded July 1, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2029. This award funds fundamental research investigating how the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) influences near-term surface atmospheric conditions globally. The project will deliver scientific analysis using the Community Earth System Model (CESM) to examine the mechanisms by which AMOC decline impacts radiative feedbacks—including interactions between cloud cover, sea ice, wind patterns, and temperature change—and to assess how mean-state AMOC strength contributes to uncertainty in future temperature projections. Research outcomes will advance understanding of ocean circulation impacts on Earth's climate system and improve the accuracy of long-term climate predictions from Earth System Models. In addition to research deliverables, the award supports workforce development and public engagement through training for the next generation of climate scientists and community science initiatives designed to communicate climate research findings to local communities. The Geosciences program supports basic research across atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen the national scientific enterprise and expand fundamental knowledge of integrated Earth systems. This award represents one of NSF's typical Project Grant investments, which constitute 97% of program funding and generally range from $24,000 to $775,000.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
