The Trustees of Dartmouth College were awarded a $966,896 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs' Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) for the period of September 15, 2021 through August 31, 2025.

The grant funds a collaborative research effort titled "A New Approach to Firn Evolution Using the Taylor Dome Natural Laboratory." The project will strengthen understanding of polar regions by expanding knowledge of firn, the porous accumulation of snow at high altitudes and latitudes that eventually transforms into glacial ice. Conducted at the Taylor Dome field site in Antarctica, this research is best performed using the natural laboratory conditions available at the polar field location. The grant supports the delivery of fundamental scientific data through field research, advancing the goals of the NSF's Polar Programs to encourage basic investigations of the Arctic and Antarctic regions.
