The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $463,271 to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on July 15, 2026. The project, which extends through June 30, 2028, provides oceanographic instrumentation enhancements supporting scientific operations aboard three Academic Research Fleet vessels: the R/V Roger Revelle, R/V Sally Ride, and R/V Robert Gordon Sproul. Specific deliverables include modernization of underway seawater sensing systems, replacement of salinity measurement instrumentation, upgrades to acoustic navigation capabilities, acquisition of multibeam sonar spare components, and replacement of supporting laboratory water purification infrastructure. These equipment upgrades and replacements address obsolescence issues and operational risks associated with aging systems, thereby improving reliability and availability of critical oceanographic observational capabilities. The project directly supports a broad range of oceanographic research activities including ocean circulation studies, marine ecosystem assessment, seafloor process mapping, water column structure analysis, ocean observation, environmental prediction, natural hazard assessment, and coastal resilience research. No sub-awards are planned for this project. The award reflects NSF's commitment to maintaining essential shared research infrastructure within the Academic Research Fleet while supporting workforce development and advancing the national scientific enterprise through fundamental oceanographic research.Federal Grant Award Summary
