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....
This $578,675 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research project at the University of Chicago exploring the dynamics of ice shelf boundaries in Antarctica. The research aims to better understand how compressive ice shelf boundaries, where floating ice shelves flow against obstructions, generate resistive forces that slow the flow of inland ice into the ocean. The project will feature on-site glaciological...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $283,923 project grant under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2024. The grant funds the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GLACIOME: DEVELOPING A COMPREHENSIVE MODEL OF THE COUPLED GLACIER-OCEAN-MELANGE SYSTEM" project. This project will develop a new comprehensive model of the interactions between glaciers, ocean waters, and ice mélanges. The model will provide a...
Georgia Tech Research Corporation was awarded a $780,880 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to develop computational methods for assimilating observational data into ice sheet models. The award period is from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2028. Under this award, Georgia Tech Research Corporation will create an open-source software package applying transient ensemble Kalman filtering...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program, will support research exploring the dynamics of ice shelf compression along the coast of Antarctica's Ross Island. The $368,061 grant, awarded to the University of Colorado, will fund field measurements, remote sensing, and numerical modeling to better understand how the ice shelf's compressive flow against obstructions like islands and grounded ice influences sea level...
This $184,798 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support collaborative research to investigate temporal variations in the glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The research aims to enhance understanding of how the continent's ice sheets are responding to climate change and contributing to sea level rise. Key activities include analyzing seismic data from over 600 stations in Antarctica to study seasonal and long-term changes in...
