Description
This fellowship opportunity is offered through the NRC Research Associateship Programs at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), specifically within the Carbon Program at NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. The program aims to advance understanding of the changing chemistry of the oceans by focusing on characterizing variations in air-sea CO2 flux across time and space.
Research supported under this opportunity involves:
- Utilizing machine learning applications to assess and improve global ocean CO2 uptake estimates.
- Employing new autonomous ocean observing technologies to study natural variability and long-term trends in ocean carbon chemistry.
- Generating new insights into the dynamics of air-sea CO2 exchange and its implications for climate and marine ecosystems.
The fellowship is designed for postdoctoral and senior researchers who want to conduct self-directed research aligned with NOAA’s mission and goals, providing access to NOAA’s facilities, mentorship, and collaboration with leading scientists.
