- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), aims to complement and validate the use of biologging data to identify trophic and biodiversity hotspots in the Southern Ocean. The $332,658 grant, awarded on September 1, 2025, will be executed by Triple HS, Inc. (doing business as H.T. Harvey & Associates) and is set to be completed by August 31, 2026. The project will use at-sea survey data and biologging data collected on marine...
- This $663,419 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs will fund research at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution investigating the role of coastal polynyas in modulating Antarctic marine-terminating glacier drawdown. The research will analyze observational data including ice-penetrating radar, radar and laser altimetry, and in situ hydrographic data in conjunction with ocean and ice sheet modeling to examine the interaction between polynya circulation and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $303,968 Project Grant to the University of Connecticut from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025. The grant supports research to investigate the impacts of climate change and sea ice loss on phytoplankton blooms and carbon cycling in the West Antarctic Peninsula region. Key objectives include analyzing shifts in the seasonal timing (phenology) of phytoplankton, evaluating changes in phytoplankton community...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $225,215 Project Grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: INTEGRATING ANTARCTIC ENVIRONMENTAL AND BIOLOGICAL PREDICTABILITY TO OBTAIN OPTIMAL FORECASTS." The period of performance for this award is from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. Under this award, the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, operating through its National...
- The University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography will receive $363,261 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs. The grant will fund collaborative research titled "Peripheral East Antarctic Ice as a Unique Recorder of Climate Variability During the Last Interglacial" from August 2021 through July 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of polar regions by expanding knowledge of climate...
- This three-year, $175,836 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will support collaborative research characterizing eddies beneath Antarctic sea ice. The University of Washington will analyze hydrographic observations from ARGO floats and instrumented seals to statistically characterize sub-sea ice eddy properties. High-resolution global ocean and sea ice models will be used to track simulated eddies back to formation sites to identify mechanisms. Theoretical...
- This three-year, $432,824 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs supports research characterizing eddies beneath Antarctic sea ice. Funded through the Polar Programs program (CFDA 47.078), the collaborative research will derive statistical descriptions of sub-ice eddy properties using hydrographic observations from instruments. High-resolution global ocean and sea ice models will track simulated eddies to identify formation mechanisms. Theoretical...
- This three-year, $175,382 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs will fund research investigating the role of coastal polynyas in modulating Antarctic marine-terminating glacier drawdown. The grantee, Dartmouth College, will analyze observational data, derived datasets, and model simulations to examine the interaction between polynya circulation and ice shelves across seven preliminary Antarctic sites. The research aims to establish a framework for interpreting...
Triple HS, Inc. was awarded a $307,602 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to support collaborative research titled "Predators to Plankton - Biophysical Controls in Antarctic Polynyas" from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. Under this award made through the NSF's Polar Programs, which supports basic research in the polar regions under Assistance Listing Number 47.078, Triple HS will conduct research exploring biophysical controls on the food web in Antarctic polynyas. Specifically, the grantee will examine predator-prey dynamics and their relationship to physical processes that create areas of open water surrounded by sea ice. This research aims to strengthen understanding of these ecologically important regions of the Southern Ocean.
