The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research Coastal Ocean Program (CFDA 11.478) to the World Resources Institute (WRI). The purpose of this 1-year award, with a performance period from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, is for WRI to build on the previous success of the Ocean Panel in raising the importance of creating a sustainable ocean economy. WRI will work with the 16 Ocean Panel...

The World Resources Institute (WRI) was awarded a $500,000 Project Grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), under the Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research Coastal Ocean Program (CFDA 11.478). The grant will support WRI's continued work with 16 Ocean Panel countries on initiatives focused on sustainably growing the ocean economy, reducing inequality, and restoring ocean health. Key deliverables include providing scientific and knowledge support; raising the...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $340,885 to Oregon State University to study tidally rectified flows in multiple inlet/lagoon systems and their consequences for transport and residence times. The research will use idealized and realistic modeling with the Regional Ocean Modeling System combined with observations to quantify both Stokes and Eulerian transport, which sum to the Lagrangian transport through multiple inlets in...

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) awarded a $709,953 Project Grant to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300). The grant, titled "MULTI-RESOLUTION ENSEMBLE ASSESSMENT OF SOURCE UNCERTAINTIES IN ATMOSPHERIC RIVER EVOLUTION (MEASURE)", supports fundamental and applied research to advance the scientific understanding of atmospheric river phenomena and their impacts. The...

This Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 11.431) provides $821,417 to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) to thoroughly examine the equity-engagement-adaptation nexus in coastal flood resilience projects. The project will critically evaluate engagement processes underway in five frontline underserved communities in Miami-Dade County and...

The Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research (ONR) awarded a $235,689 Project Grant under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research (CFDA 12.300) program to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The grant supports a 4-year research project entitled "Sea-Level Rise in the Indo-Pacific Region: Building a Framework for Interdependent Resilience" from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2028. As the prime awardee, the Scripps Institution of...

This $3,360,836 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417) aims to improve the understanding and mitigation of microplastic (MP) pollution in urban stormwater runoff. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year project include: Developing rapid and practical methods for MP characterization in urban stormwater using advanced analytical chemistry, microscopy, imaging, and...

This $3,037,986 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Ocean Acidification Program (CFDA 11.017) will conduct an Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) pilot project in San Francisco Bay. The project aims to demonstrate the viability and challenges of using wastewater treatment plant outfalls for OAE, a marine carbon dioxide removal approach, to help mitigate climate change. Key deliverables include evaluating OAE efficacy, demonstrating...

The University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography was awarded a $875,891 Cooperative Agreement from the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Ocean Acidification Program (CFDA 11.017). The 3-year project focuses on developing and testing a low-cost, low-energy system to capture atmospheric CO2 and convert it into alkaline salts for ocean alkalinity enhancement. The research team will construct a pilot system,...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $10,000,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 11.012) to the University of Washington (UW) to enhance regional coastal resilience and strengthen the observing system's data management infrastructure. The award will fund two main goals: 1) Increase regional coastal resilience by investing in improved detection of marine stressors (e.g., harmful algal blooms,...
