The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded $684,964 under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to Stanford University. The five-year project grant funding will support research and development of customized numerical models to understand the possibility and implications of an internal shear band forming in ice flowing over rough topography. Specifically, the principal investigator will develop a suite of open-source tools to test the hypothesis...
This $411,096 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University). The project aims to utilize machine learning and physics-based models to map and understand how surface meltwater on the Greenland ice sheet reaches the bedrock, which can impact ice sheet dynamics and response to climate change. Key products and services to be delivered include: Development of open-source deep...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $245,046 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to develop and field test community-driven ice penetrating radar systems for observing complex ice sheet structure and flow. Specifically, the award will support developing a snowmobile-towed radar and unmanned aerial vehicle radar system based on shared software and post-processing tools. Both systems are designed to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $1,275,313 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) for the period of September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The grant will support collaborative research to better understand massive phytoplankton blooms over the Australian-Antarctic Ridge and their relationship to hydrothermal iron sources. Specifically, the grant will fund a 40-day process study cruise to conduct...
The University of California Santa Cruz received a three-year, $679,267 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078).
