This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs ($489,233) supports research into the last deglaciation period in Greenland. Oregon State University is the primary awardee and will work with sub-awardee University of Washington to strengthen understanding of this "mystery interval" through basic scientific exploration best conducted in polar regions, as outlined in the NSF's CFDA #47.078 program. Specifically, the awardees will conduct field-based studies in Greenland to demystify the dynamics and timing of environmental changes during the last period of glacial retreat. By expanding fundamental knowledge of polar climatic transitions, this award aims to advance the national scientific enterprise's capacity to interpret Earth's climate history and inform projections.
