Office of Naval Research 2026 Young Investigator Program Awardees
During the administration of President Ronald Reagan, the Office of Naval Research created a Young Investigator Program for early-career academics in science, technology, engineering and mathematics with innovative solutions to ensure the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps maintain warfighter superiority.
This year, ~$17 million in funding will be shared by 23 researchers who obtained a Ph.D. on or after Jan. 1st, 2018 and are working on significant scientific breakthroughs in coastal forecasting, machine learning, additive manufacturing, autonomous operations, advanced sensors, dexterous robotics, hypersonics, decision superiority, ocean acoustics, ultrafast lasers and advanced composites. Typical grants are $750,000 over a three-year period.

El Niño Climate Effects Shaped By Ocean Salt
Once the weather got political, more attention became focused on the cyclical climate phenomenon El Niño. Critics charged that too many early models were shaped by understating its effects while proponents insisted its efforts were worse due to CO2 emissions.
There is something for everyone. It is cyclical, but not predictable, because it might bring wetter conditions to some areas and drier to others every two years. Or every seven. Experts can't agree on when it begins or ends, only that it's impacted by changes in what ancient sailors called the trade winds - the air currents that moved cargo ships from from east to west along the equator.
