The Department of the Navy, Office of Naval Research awarded a $570,000 Project Grant to Geosystem Research Corporation to support the Research Division's work on the NRL component of the US and Korea collaboration on mixing processes in the Southwestern Japan East Sea. The two-year award running from November 2021 to November 2023 will fund basic and applied scientific research with the goal of improving naval operations.

Specifically, the grant will support Geosystem Research Corporation's work in South Korea to advance understanding of mixing processes through the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA #12.300). This program aims to stimulate research with potential to enhance naval capabilities and train future scientists. The awarded research focuses on a collaborative project between U.S. and South Korean researchers seeking to better understand ocean mixing, which has implications for naval and maritime operations.
