The research aims to study the effects of climate-induced sea-level rise, warming and herbivory on vegetation and greenhouse gas emission in coastal western Alaska. The Polar Programs program supports basic research in the polar regions to further fundamental...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $153,987 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) for the period of August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The grant funding will support the collaborative research project "Accelerating Thwaites Ecosystem Impacts for the Southern Ocean (ARTEMIS)". The University of Colorado, as the awardee, will deliver research focused on strengthening...
- 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 Boise State University received a $260,444 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs' Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to conduct collaborative research from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The university will analyze mineral weathering in snowbanks and supraglacial ice in Antarctica through computer modeling, laboratory experiments, and field sampling. Researchers aim to understand the chemical and physical changes to glacier...
- The Colorado School of Mines received a $317,470 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs on August 15, 2021 to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: INVESTIGATING FOUR DECADES OF ROSS ICE SHELF SUBSURFACE CHANGE WITH HISTORICAL AND MODERN RADAR SOUNDING DATA." The research is being conducted under the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to strengthen understanding of the polar regions through expansion of fundamental knowledge....
The National Science Foundation awarded a three-year, $338,836 Project Grant to the University of Colorado Boulder under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will support collaborative research titled "Moving Beyond the Margins: Modeling Water Availability and Habitable Terrestrial Ecosystems in the Polar Desert of the McMurdo Dry Valleys." The research aims to strengthen fundamental understanding of the polar regions through expanding knowledge of water availability and ecosystems in the polar desert region of Antarctica's McMurdo Dry Valleys. Over the three-year period from April 2021 to March 2024, University of Colorado researchers will model water resources and terrestrial habitats to gain insight on the limits and controls of life in the polar desert environment. The place of performance for the research is the University of Colorado Boulder.
