The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded the University of Wisconsin-Madison $622,183 under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to conduct research on wave erosion of ice cliffs from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2026. Specifically, the project will investigate wave erosion processes in icebergs, glaciers, and ice shelves through laboratory experiments. This aims to improve understanding of fundamental wave erosion physics and develop new parameterizations...
This $400,757 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078 - Polar Programs) to the University of Wisconsin-Madison will fund a research project to determine the fundamental processes that control the geometry of subglacial cavities formed as glaciers slide over bedrock. The research will use a novel experimental device to systematically assess how factors like effective stress, sliding speed, and bedrock bump geometry affect cavity...
The University of Wyoming received a $297,116 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs on November 1, 2021 for collaborative research under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078).
