The Office of Naval Research says three Georgia Tech researchers and one at Alabama’s Dauphin Island Sea Lab are among 33 young scientists nationwide getting $16 million in grants for young investigators.
A news release from the Arlington, Virginia-based agency says typical grants pay $510,000 over three years, and more than 360 researchers applied.
Kelly Dorgan of the sea lab got a grant to study how worms and other animals that burrow in mud and sand affect the sediments’ acoustic and geotechnical properties.
