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...
This $160,021 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078 Polar Programs) to Rutgers, The State University's Research Financial Services Division. The funding will support a collaborative research project called "GREENFJORD-FIBER, Observing the Ice-Ocean Interface with Exceptional Resolution" that aims to better understand how Greenlandic glaciers flowing into the ocean change between winter and summer. The project will...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $505,558 project grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to Oregon State University. The 3-year grant, which began on October 1, 2023, will support a collaborative research project to elucidate the ocean dynamics governing melt at glaciers using Lagrangian floats. The research aims to determine the physical processes causing melting at an Alaskan glacier that ends in a fjord, focusing on whether recirculating cells and waves below the...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation provided $124,081 to Princeton University from January 1, 2022 through October 31, 2022. The funding supported basic research under the Polar Programs federal grant program. The Polar Programs program, listed under the CFDA as 47.078, aims to strengthen understanding of polar regions through expanding fundamental knowledge. This award directly supported research related to calving icebergs and climate in Antarctica, consistent with the...
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...
The National Science Foundation's Polar Research (CFDA 47.078) program awarded the University of Washington a $327,580 project grant to elucidate the ocean dynamics governing melt at glaciers using Lagrangian floats. The 3-year grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, will develop instruments that drift in three dimensions to study the physical processes causing melting at an Alaskan glacier ending in a fjord. The project aims to determine whether recirculating cells and waves below the sea surface...
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded Rutgers, The State University a $106,348 Project Grant under the Polar Programs CFDA 47.078 to conduct collaborative research focused on quantifying the effects of sediment deposition on the stability and retreat rates of Greenland tidewater glaciers. Over the 2-year period of performance from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025, the project aims to collect observational data on sedimentation processes at the ice-ocean...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $660,800 project grant to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation to develop new models of glacier-ocean boundary layer interactions through laboratory experiments and numerical modeling. The award falls under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA #47.078), which supports basic research in the polar regions. Specifically, the grantee will conduct comprehensive laboratory experiments using laser-based techniques to gather...
This $325,213 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a research project to investigate the role of meltwater in governing the geophysical properties and flow of deforming icy systems. The project aims to create new ice flow laws that explicitly account for the impact of meltwater, with the goal of improving models of glacial mass loss and sea level rise. The principal investigator at Columbia University will conduct a...
