The National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs awarded a $899,856 project grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, on August 15, 2023. The funding supports a collaborative U.S./U.K. research project investigating the direct influence of meltwater on the dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheet. The key activities include a field campaign on Flade Glacier and a continent-wide remote sensing survey to test hypotheses related to how surface meltwater reaching...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to the University of Utah, totaling $727,695, to conduct collaborative research on the climatic controls of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) surface mass balance and its impact on sea-level rise. The project aims to improve understanding of the atmospheric processes driving WAIS surface mass balance and ice flow dynamics, including the influence of climate variability at both low (e.g.,...
