- The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) has awarded a $160,021 Project Grant to the Trustees of Tufts College to conduct the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GREENFJORD-FIBER, OBSERVING THE ICE-OCEAN INTERFACE WITH EXCEPTIONAL RESOLUTION" scientific study. The project aims to use high-tech sensors and instruments to measure vibrations, temperature, and other data at the interface where Greenlandic glaciers meet the ocean. This will help researchers understand how...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded a $1,946,497 Project Grant to Oregon State University to conduct collaborative research on quantifying real-world ice-ocean interaction physics. The research aims to directly measure submarine melt rates and near-ice boundary-layer dynamics at Greenland's marine-terminating glaciers to improve next-generation climate models. The project will integrate field measurements with numerical simulations to develop a robust,...
- Oregon State University received a $282,979 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to study submesoscale fjord variability and its influence on glacial melt from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023. The award supports research that aligns with the goals of the Polar Programs federal grant program authorized under the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number 47.078, which aims to strengthen fundamental understanding of polar regions through basic...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $208,083 to support a collaborative research project at Tufts University aimed at quantifying the processes that control boundary layer transport across the ice-ocean interface of tidewater glaciers. The research will utilize a specialized underwater robot with state-of-the-art instruments to observe melt rates and the dynamics of the currents adjacent to the glacier face, as...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) is for $423,761 and will be executed from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028. The grant will support collaborative research to advance coupled atmosphere-ocean-sea ice modeling of the Antarctic region. The project aims to enhance the representation of atmospheric cloud physics and ocean-sea ice heat exchange in state-of-the-science models. This will enable more realistic simulations of the marine...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), will support a collaborative research project to quantify the physics of ice-ocean interactions at the interface of marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland. The $372,486 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2029, will integrate direct measurements of submarine melt rates and near-ice boundary-layer dynamics with numerical simulations to improve next-generation climate...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $283,923 project grant under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2024. The grant funds the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GLACIOME: DEVELOPING A COMPREHENSIVE MODEL OF THE COUPLED GLACIER-OCEAN-MELANGE SYSTEM" project. This project will develop a new comprehensive model of the interactions between glaciers, ocean waters, and ice mélanges. The model will provide a more holistic understanding of glacier and ice sheet dynamics in polar regions. The research is well-aligned with the goals of the Polar Programs grant program to strengthen fundamental knowledge and understanding of polar science through support of basic research activities best conducted in polar environments.
