Stratified coastal dynamics of internal waves and glacial river plume interactions

The Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research awarded a $279,894 Project Grant to Pontificia Universidad Catolica De Chile to support research titled "Stratified Coastal Dynamics of Internal Waves and Glacial River Plume Interactions" from September 30, 2022 to October 1, 2025.

The grant is being used to fund basic and applied scientific research with the goal of improving naval operations, as outlined in the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300). Specifically, the grantee will conduct research exploring the interactions between internal waves and glacial river plumes in stratified coastal environments, with the aim of developing a better understanding of coastal dynamics that have the potential to impact naval operations. The three-year award provides $279,894 in funding to support this research effort being led by the Pontificia Universidad Catolica De Chile.
