RAPID: A Community Test of Distributed Acoustic Sensing on the Ocean Observatories Initiative Regional Cabled Array
In recent years, there has been interest in the potential of offshore distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) in the Pacific Northwest and a test in this region would be of widespread i...
Collaborative Research: Linking Marine and Terrestrial Sedimentary Evidence for Plio-pleistocene Variability of Weddell Embayment and Antarctic Peninsula Glaciation
The potential for future sea level rise from melting and collapse of Antarctic ice sheets and glaciers is concerning. We can improve our understanding of how water is exchanged bet...
Collaborative Research: Combined Waves and Currents over Multi-Scale Topography: From Boundary Layer Dynamics to Parameterization
Multiscale bottom topography is ubiquitous in coastal systems. Interactions of surface waves and currents with this topography cause spatial patterns in pressure, velocities, and t...
MRI: Acquisition of a Universal Optical Tweezer Platform to Probe Nanoscale Structure and Function of Single Polymers Using Force and Optical Spectroscopy
This award is jointly supported by the Major Research Instrumentation and the Chemistry Research Instrumentation programs. Boston University is acquiring an optical tweezer instrum...
Measurements of stable carbon isotopes on board GO-SHIP cruises in the South Atlantic Ocean to enhance our ability to quantify anthropogenic CO2 uptake rates by the ocean
Rising carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere, global climate change, and the sustainability of the Earth’s biosphere are of great scientific and societal concern. Approxi...
Collaborative Research: NCS: FO: Enhancing Episodic Memory through Real-world Integration of Brain Recording and Stimulation with Semantic Alignment of Human and IoT Perception
The goal of this project is to build and evaluate a system for exploring how the human brain processes information in everyday real-world environments. The investigators will direc...
Effect of Surface-Bulk Partitioning on the Oxidation of Aqueous Dicarboxylic Acid Aerosols
With support from the Environmental Chemical Sciences Program in the Chemistry Division at the National Science Foundation, Fabien Goulay at the University of West Virginia will st...
Quantitative Aspects of Arithmetic Statistics
Arithmetic statistics is concerned with the fundamental objects of number theory – such as number fields and ideal class groups, and asks questions such as how large they can be, o...
Simulating Space Weather Extremes: A Workshop to Identify Research Needs to Improve Power Grid Resilience to Geomagnetic Activity; Fall 2021 in Washington DC
Space weather can create picturesque auroras but poses a potential hazard to technology on which modern society relies. It is essential for space weather researchers, forecasters,...
Tackling Motion-Command-Induced Nonlinear Vibration in Manufacturing Machines Using Software Compensation
Quality, productivity and cost are three key pillars of manufacturing. To stay competitive in an increasingly global economy, U.S. manufacturers must find ways to improve the quali...
Collaborative Research: Interfacial Photopolymerization (IPP): A Method For High-Resolution Digital Printing Of Thermoplastics
Additive manufacturing (AM) encompasses many technologies used to produce objects by successive addition of material in a layer-by-layer manner. Currently, AM techniques for thermo...
Atomistic Macroscopic Simulations of Collisional Plasmas
This project will use high performance computing to simulate small amounts of very hot matter down to the level of individual atoms, using machine learning to advance current capab...
Crowdsourcing the Sky with the NOIRLab Source Catalog
The all-sky NOIRLab Source Catalog (NSC) is a catalog of nearly all the data, taken by astronomers over many years that is resident in NOIRLab’s image archive. This data includes i...
Collaborative Research: Holocene and Late Pleistocene Stream Deposition in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica as a Proxy for Glacial Meltwater and Paleoclimate
The McMurdo Dry Valleys are the largest ice-free region in Antarctica and home to a seasonally active hydrologic system, with streams and saline lakes. Streams are fed by summer me...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: Gender and Race in the History of Folk Medicine
During the last few decades, many parts of the world have witnessed the resurgence of midwifery and other traditional healing practices. Even in cities, sites where biomedicine has...
A Holistic View of Gas, Dust, and Metals in Galaxies
The gas between stars is part of the interstellar medium (ISM) and is fundamental to understanding how galaxies evolve. However, the gas often can only be studied by indirect metho...
Targeted Infusion Project: Undergraduate Neuroscience Education To Engage Diverse Students in STEM and Prepare Them for Graduate School and STEM Careers
The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) through Targeted Infusion Projects supports the development, implementation, and study of evidence-...
Elements: Open-source tools for block polymer phase behavior
Block polymers are molecules formed by bonding one or more different polymer molecules at their ends. When a liquid of block polymers is cooled, it spontaneously forms an ordered s...
CDS&E: Collaborative Research: Development and Application of Machine Learning Classification of Optical Transients
This project will develop, test, and use, a range of machine learning (ML) algorithms and pipelines for the photometric classification of optical transients from current and future...
GOALI: From heat to spin to electricity: Fundamental understanding and development of high-performance spin-driven thermoelectric heterostructures
Thermoelectric materials can generate electricity in the presence of a temperature difference or work in a reverse mode providing cooling when an electric current is passed through...
