The National Science Foundation awarded Rowan University a $350,203 project grant under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) for the period February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2026.
The grant will support collaborative research to quantify seasonal and interannual changes in shelf-derived material inputs to the Arctic Ocean through the Arctic Radium Isotope Observing Network. As part of this network, the grantee will measure radium isotopes to track water mass movements and better understand how climate variability impacts material transport from continental shelves to the deep Arctic Ocean. Insights gained from this research align with the goals of the Polar Programs grant program to strengthen fundamental understanding of polar regions through basic science best conducted in or uniquely possible in the Arctic.
