This $405,733 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research examining submesoscale frontal dynamics and exchange processes in San Luis Obispo Bay, California. Over a three-year period from September 2023 to August 2026, San Jose State University will lead efforts to measure ocean flows, temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen using ship-based instruments and ocean bottom sensors. These field data...

This three-year, $406,381 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research examining submesoscale frontal dynamics and exchange processes in San Luis Obispo Bay, California. A team of four researchers from different institutions will conduct high-resolution measurements of turbulent mixing using ship surveys and moorings to collect hydrographic, velocity, and microstructure profile data. They will...

This $406,274 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research examining submesoscale frontal dynamics and exchange processes in San Luis Obispo Bay, California. The University of California Santa Cruz will conduct high-resolution measurements of turbulent mixing using ship surveys, moorings, and hydrographic profiling to study how persistent thermal fronts are generated and dissipated downstream of...

This $147,468 Project Grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will fund the Inland Seas Education Association to deliver a Great Lakes watershed field course professional development program. The Association will bring 30 K-12 educators to the Thomas M. Kelly Biological Station in Suttons Bay, Michigan from April 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023 for four-day training sessions emphasizing hands-on experience with regional conservation success stories. Participants will visit...
