- This National Science Foundation project grant of $186,029 supports the development of tools to improve access and reuse of polar ice penetrating radar data. Funded under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program, the University of Washington will create a plugin for the open-source mapping software QGIS to enable discovery, download, and visualization of georeferenced radar images. The tool will integrate a data layer showing known radar survey locations, color-coded by...
- This $354,576 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a postdoctoral research project at Cornell University to investigate the potential impacts of brine firn aquifers on the stability of Antarctic ice shelves. The project aims to: (1) map the extent of brine aquifers across Antarctic ice shelves using airborne ice-penetrating radar data; (2) estimate the liquid water volume in these aquifers; (3) determine how seawater infiltrates the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $627,264 Project Grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY), operating as Stony Brook University, to conduct a comprehensive seismic investigation of the Earth's crust and upper mantle beneath the South Pole in East Antarctica. The 5-year project, titled "CAREER: A Comprehensive Seismic Investigation to the Crust and Uppermost Mantle Beneath the South Pole, East...
- The Colorado School of Mines received a $317,470 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs on August 15, 2021 to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: INVESTIGATING FOUR DECADES OF ROSS ICE SHELF SUBSURFACE CHANGE WITH HISTORICAL AND MODERN RADAR SOUNDING DATA." The research is being conducted under the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to strengthen understanding of the polar regions through expansion of fundamental knowledge....
- This Project Grant award of $317,795 from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research by the Colorado School of Mines to disentangle the internal and basal processes that influence ice sheet flow and contribute to sea-level rise. The project combines satellite remote sensing data with ice-penetrating radar observations to partition the contributions of internal and basal friction within the ice sheet. Key efforts include developing open-source...
- This three-year, $294,517 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will support the development of geospatial products mapping the capillary hydrological system across Arctic tundra regions. The University of Massachusetts Amherst will produce a pan-Arctic map of the expanding network of small surface drainage channels that originate freshwater flows to larger Arctic rivers. Researchers will apply graph analysis techniques and deep learning algorithms to very...
- This three-year, $302,382 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs will support the Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc. in mapping the capillary hydrological system across Arctic tundra regions. As permafrost thaws due to climate change, dense networks of small surface drainage channels are forming and expanding. These "capillaries" represent the origin of water flowing into large Arctic rivers and influence habitat, infrastructure hazards, and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $323,704 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to support collaborative research estimating subglacial effective pressure with active-source seismic data from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The grant funds basic research in glaciology that is best conducted in polar regions, with the University of Wisconsin-Madison delivering research estimating...
- This $663,419 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs will fund research at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution investigating the role of coastal polynyas in modulating Antarctic marine-terminating glacier drawdown. The research will analyze observational data including ice-penetrating radar, radar and laser altimetry, and in situ hydrographic data in conjunction with ocean and ice sheet modeling to examine the interaction between polynya circulation and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $245,046 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to develop and field test community-driven ice penetrating radar systems for observing complex ice sheet structure and flow. Specifically, the award will support developing a snowmobile-towed radar and unmanned aerial vehicle radar system based on shared software and post-processing tools. Both systems are designed to...
