The Virginia Institute of Marine Science received a three-year, $157,463 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs through the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant supports the collaborative research project "Accelerating Thwaites Ecosystem Impacts for the Southern Ocean" (ARTEMIS), which aims to strengthen understanding of the polar regions through expanding fundamental knowledge of the Thwaites Glacier region of Antarctica....
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $368,061 to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU), doing business as the University of Colorado, to explore the dynamics of boundaries where Antarctic ice shelves flow against obstructions such as islands and grounded ice. The research aims to understand how these compressive ice shelf boundaries generate forces that impede the flow of inland ice into the ocean, which is...
The University of Colorado Denver received a $376,970 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct collaborative research on the effects of climate-induced sea-level rise, warming and herbivory on vegetation and greenhouse gas emission in coastal Western Alaska. The grant was awarded on February 1, 2022 under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA #47.078) and will support research activities through January 31, 2026. The Polar Programs...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $126,121 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) for a 3-year collaborative research project to study temporal variations in glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The project aims to leverage existing seismic data to better understand how the physical properties of the Antarctic ice sheet change over time, including seasonal variations in subglacial hydrological systems....
The National Science Foundation awarded $199,704 under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to The Regents of the University of Colorado for the period of July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024. The University of Colorado will lead an international collaboration to characterize atmospheric turbulence processes impacting climate in coastal Antarctica. Researchers will deploy high-altitude balloons equipped with custom turbulence instrumentation, in coordination with radar sensing from...
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 University of Colorado Boulder was awarded a two-year, $272,225 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to synthesize historical records to constrain and understand great sea ice anomalies. The grant was awarded on November 1, 2021 under the NSF's Polar Programs, which aims to strengthen fundamental polar research conducted in or requiring work in polar regions (CFDA #47.078). Specifically, the University will leverage historical observations and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $225,215 Project Grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: INTEGRATING ANTARCTIC ENVIRONMENTAL AND BIOLOGICAL PREDICTABILITY TO OBTAIN OPTIMAL FORECASTS." The period of performance for this award is from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. Under this award, the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, operating through its National...
