This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $136,638 to Oregon State University to support research measuring sediment fluxes in boreal rivers in Alaska. The funding will be used to leverage recently developed do-it-yourself optical backscatter sensors to improve measurements of Arctic fluvial sediment fluxes. These lower-cost sensors will be enhanced with separate data logging and power capabilities as well as satellite-enabled data...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $306,062 Project Grant to Princeton University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research from April 2022 through March 2025. The research aims to advance understanding of cohesive sediment transport through multiscale experiments and numerical simulations. Specifically, the university will combine nano- to microscale imaging and molecular dynamics simulations, micro- to mesoscale millifluidic experiments and...
This $262,380 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to investigate the geological history and evolution of the Mackenzie River system in the North American Arctic over the past 25 million years. The primary objectives are to: 1) Decipher the sedimentary provenance history of the Beaufort-Mackenzie Basin through detrital zircon and isotope analysis, and 2) Establish a chronostratigraphic framework for...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $155,165 supports collaborative research to improve measurements of Arctic river sediment fluxes. The research will engage local Alaska Native students to collect data and supports early career women and students. Specifically, the award funds the development and deployment of low-cost "do-it-yourself" optical backscatter sensors to measure sediment concentrations in the Tanana River near Fairbanks, Alaska across four seasons -...
The University of Alaska Anchorage was awarded a $400,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund research from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2028 to understand changing river discharge dynamics in the rapidly warming Arctic region of Greenland.
The grantee will measure components of the water cycle across watersheds with varying glacial coverage in Greenland. Field data...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $335,468 to Princeton University from December 2021 through November 2023. The funding supports research titled "Quantifying the Chukchi Sea's Role in Modulating Present and Future Changes of Pacific Waters in the Arctic" under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050).
The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental Earth systems knowledge through basic research support. This award will...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant, awarded in the amount of $349,754 on August 15, 2024, supports a collaborative research project led by Montana State University to study the geomorphic controls on sediment age, ice preservation, and carbon storage in Arctic permafrost systems. The research aims to quantify how century to millennial-scale hillslope geomorphic processes influence the storage of ice and carbon in permafrost soils, with a focus on...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $174,000 to fund research from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2024. The funding supports a study investigating the impact of flooding intensity on levee development and dynamics. The Geosciences program aims to advance fundamental knowledge and understanding of Earth's integrated systems through basic research in atmospheric, Earth, and ocean sciences. This award will further those goals by exploring...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a two-year, $174,000 Project Grant to researchers at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. The grant aims to experimentally study the dynamics of frozen, cohesive river banks to bridge pore-scale properties with channel-scale dynamics under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system, including the atmospheric,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $180,000 from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2027 will support a postdoctoral research project using numerical modeling and synthetic stratigraphy generation to evaluate the impacts of extreme storms on delta channel mobility. The key objectives are to: 1) clarify expected rates and types of delta shoreline evolution over 100 to 10,000 years, informing coastal mitigation plans; 2) determine if...
