About this award
Georgia TECH Research Corp, operating through its Office of Sponsored Programs, was awarded a $150,000 research grant by the National Science Foundation (NSF) on August 22, 2022, to support graduate student research on analyzing multi-decadal changes at the Ross Ice Shelf. The project, led by student Angelo Tarzona, seeks to assess whether basal melt rates at the Ross Ice Shelf have been historically underestimated due to limited observational data predating the 2000s. The research will leverage historical radar sounding data from the SPRI-NSF-TUD mission alongside modern data from NASA/NSF Operation IceBridge and ROSETTA-ICE to evaluate how the ice shelf's buttressing effect on inland grounded ice has changed over extended time periods. The award carries no set-aside designation, indicating open competition. The work is scheduled for completion by August 18, 2026, and will be performed at Georgia Tech's Atlanta, Georgia campus.
This grant advances NSF's climate and glaciology research objectives by addressing critical gaps in understanding Ross Ice Shelf dynamics, which are essential for modeling future sea-level rise and understanding Antarctic ice sheet stability. Georgia TECH Research Corp has demonstrated substantial capability in receiving federal research funding across multiple agencies and scientific domains, with particular strength in complex research initiatives involving data synthesis and advanced analytical methods. The organization's expertise in managing large-scale research efforts and collaborative scientific projects positions it well to execute this multi-year investigation into historical ice shelf behavior.
