Project Grant 1852771

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $199,921 to Kennesaw State University Research And Service Foundation, Inc. for planning activities comparing climate change vulnerabilities in Greenland and Iceland. The funding supports initial site visits, interviews with local communities and institutions in southern Iceland and southwest Greenland to evaluate how recent climate shifts...

The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $252,372 two-year Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in New York, New York to support the research project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: A FOSSIL ECOSYSTEM UNDER THE ICE: DECIPHERING THE GLACIAL AND VEGETATION HISTORY OF NORTHWEST GREENLAND USING LONG-LOST CAMP CENTURY BASAL SEDIMENT." The grant is funded through the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program, which supports basic research in...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $325,757 to the University of Maine System to investigate the erosional landscapes of the Transantarctic Mountains and the past behavior of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The research aims to determine the age and reasons for a significant expansion of the ice sheet over the mountains, which may have involved substantial subglacial meltwater. This information will help improve understanding of...

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 Division of Polar Programs awarded a $144,459 project grant to Columbia University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) for the period of January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023. The grant funding supports the collaborative research project "GENERATION OF HIGH RESOLUTION SURFACE MELTING MAPS OVER ANTARCTICA USING REGIONAL CLIMATE MODELS, REMOTE SENSING AND MACHINE LEARNING." Through this effort, Columbia University researchers...

The University of Washington was awarded a two-year, $125,995 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct research titled "A Fossil Ecosystem Under the Ice: Deciphering the Glacial and Vegetation History of Northwest Greenland Using Long-Lost Camp Century Basal Sediment." The grant supports collaborative research to decipher the glacial and vegetation history of northwest Greenland through analysis of basal sediment recovered from the...

This Project Grant award, valued at $359,487, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Trustees of Princeton University. The funding will be used to develop advanced analytical methods for high-resolution chemical imaging and dating of ancient ice cores from Antarctica's Blue Ice Areas, which contain climate records spanning over 1 million years. Specifically, the project will utilize cryo-cell laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass...

This collaborative research project, funded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) with $481,967 obligated to the University of Alabama, develops advanced scientific models and geophysical data to assess Greenland Ice Sheet (GRIS) stability and its response to climate change. The project delivers integrated research products combining ice-sheet, atmospheric, and geologic modeling constraints, along with new seismic geophysical observations from...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $184,798 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (Stony Brook University) to conduct collaborative research on temporal variations in glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The research aims to better understand how seismic properties within and beneath the Antarctic ice sheets change over time, which can provide insights into ice sheet dynamics and responses to...

This postdoctoral fellowship award, issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $125,105 in funding to Old Dominion University Research Foundation to conduct climate change research in Antarctica. The project, initiated December 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2026, investigates the relationships among sea ice dynamics, phytoplankton communities, and carbon cycling in the West Antarctic...
