The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $205,862 project grant to the University of Washington's Office of Sponsored Programs for collaborative research titled "Glacier-Sediment Interactions During Onset of Tidewater Glacier Retreat." The grant was awarded on July 15, 2021 under the Polar Programs CFDA #47.078 federal grant program to fund basic research best conducted in or related to the polar regions through June 30, 2025. Specifically, the funding...
This $199,879 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of Alaska Southeast to evaluate how changing glaciers influence the movement of freshwater, nutrients, and minerals from coastal watersheds in Southeast Alaska to nearshore waters in the Gulf of Alaska. Under the award, set to run from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024, project personnel will sample rivers with glaciers throughout the year and intensely...
This $155,602 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will fund research to improve understanding of outlet glacier dynamics in Greenland. The University of Alaska Southeast will collaborate with other researchers to analyze new field observations and satellite data on runoff-driven and terminus-driven velocity variations at a large marine-terminating outlet glacier. Multivariate statistical...
This four-year, $565,121 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will fund collaborative research at the University of Alaska Fairbanks to improve understanding of outlet glacier dynamics in Greenland. The researchers will combine new field observations at a large marine-terminating outlet glacier with satellite data analysis and numerical modeling to disentangle the relative influence of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $495,218 to the University of Alaska Southeast (UAS) to develop and apply computer models to assess glacier outburst flood hazards across northwest North America. The focus is on studying the 'Aak'w T'aak (Mendenhall Glacier) in Juneau, Alaska, which poses an annual flood risk to the local community. The research will use field and remote...
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded Rutgers, The State University a $106,348 Project Grant under the Polar Programs CFDA 47.078 to conduct collaborative research focused on quantifying the effects of sediment deposition on the stability and retreat rates of Greenland tidewater glaciers. Over the 2-year period of performance from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025, the project aims to collect observational data on sedimentation processes at the ice-ocean...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $133,492 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF), through its Division of Sponsored Research, to conduct collaborative research on quantifying the effect of moraine building on the stability of Greenland tidewater glaciers. The project aims to collect observations from the fronts of three Greenland outlet glaciers to determine if the deposition of sediment at the ice-ocean boundary is responsible for the...
The University of Alaska Anchorage received a three-year, $889,359 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will support collaborative research examining the complex effects of interconnected human and environmental dynamics in the changing Arctic region. Key products and services will include expansion of fundamental scientific knowledge and understanding of polar environmental...
The University of Alaska Anchorage was awarded a $400,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund research from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2028 to understand changing river discharge dynamics in the rapidly warming Arctic region of Greenland. The grantee will measure components of the water cycle across watersheds with varying glacial coverage in Greenland. Field data...
The National Science Foundation's Polar Research (CFDA 47.078) program awarded the University of Washington a $327,580 project grant to elucidate the ocean dynamics governing melt at glaciers using Lagrangian floats. The 3-year grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, will develop instruments that drift in three dimensions to study the physical processes causing melting at an Alaskan glacier ending in a fjord. The project aims to determine whether recirculating cells and waves below the sea surface...
