The National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs awarded a $899,856 project grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, on August 15, 2023. The funding supports a collaborative U.S./U.K. research project investigating the direct influence of meltwater on the dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheet. The key activities include a field campaign on Flade Glacier and a continent-wide remote sensing survey to test hypotheses related to how surface meltwater reaching...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $218,256 Project Grant to Texas A&M University to support collaborative research linking marine and terrestrial sedimentary evidence for variability in glaciation of the Weddell Embayment and Antarctic Peninsula regions. The three-year award beginning September 1, 2021 will fund analysis of sediment cores to strengthen understanding of Pliocene-Pleistocene climate dynamics in Antarctica under the NSF's Polar Programs...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $325,757 to the University of Maine System for a project titled "Erosional Landscapes of the Transantarctic Mountains Produced by East Antarctic Subglacial Water?". The project aims to use geologic features at the base of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet to examine past changes in ice sheet behavior and correlate these changes to past climate conditions. This will help improve...
This $184,798 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a collaborative research project to investigate temporal variations in the glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The project aims to leverage existing seismic data to better understand how the physical properties and hydrological systems within and beneath the Antarctic ice sheets change over time in response to seasonal atmospheric and climate forcing. Key research...
This $560,876 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will support collaborative research exploring interlinked physical, biological, and geochemical properties of seafloor sediments around Antarctica. Led by three early-career women principal investigators at the Colorado School of Mines, the research team will analyze archived marine sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to...
This $776,963 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will fund collaborative research analyzing marine sediment cores from around Antarctica. Led by three early-career women principal investigators at the University of Virginia, the project team will leverage archived sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to examine physical, biological, and geochemical properties indicating past...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $132,303 project grant to Columbia University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will support collaborative research to improve understanding of past variability in glaciation in the Weddell Embayment and Antarctic Peninsula regions. Eleven investigators from seven U.S. institutions and Argentine collaborators will study sediment cores from the International Ocean Discovery Program as well...
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...
This four-year, $532,649 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs supports research titled "Collaborative Research: Circum-Antarctic Processes from Archived Marine Sediment Cores." Funded through the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA #47.078), the grant aims to analyze marine sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to examine glacial and oceanographic processes around Antarctica over the past 20,000 years. Led by three early-career women principal...
This $201,779 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support the University of Maine System's research on the dynamics of ice shelf boundaries in Antarctica. The project will feature on-site glaciological and geophysical field measurements near pressure ridges along the coast of Ross Island, which is critical infrastructure for major U.S. and New Zealand Antarctic research stations. The research aims to better understand how the...
