- This $194,921 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund collaborative research to constrain and understand regional modes of variability in the Atlantic Arctic over the next two years. The overarching goal is to quantitatively study climate patterns and their long-term changes in the Atlantic Arctic and sub-Arctic regions using a variety of data sources, including meteorological measurements, historical observations, and climate...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs supports research understanding impacts of extreme events on Arctic peoples. With $481,923 in funding from October 2021 through September 2024, William Paterson University will conduct basic research best performed in the polar regions. The NSF Polar Programs aims to expand fundamental polar knowledge and understanding through supporting such field-based scientific inquiry. Additionally, Columbia University will...
- This $203,991 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs' Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) will fund research tracking divergent warming and tree growth patterns at Arctic treeline forests through February 2025. The University of Arizona will leverage existing tree ring data and assess current hypotheses for divergence between temperature variability and growth rates observed in boreal forests since the mid-20th century. Researchers will use...
- This $1,237,840 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under CFDA Program 47.078, will fund research by the University of Colorado to quantify climate variability and extremes over the past 100,000 years. The research team will use high-resolution measurements from ancient polar ice cores to statistically analyze changes in climate variability and the frequency of extreme events as the Earth's average climate has fluctuated over...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $760,789 to Columbia University from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026. The funding supports research testing the hypothesis that rapid atmospheric adjustments are fundamental to the occurrence of Arctic amplification. The grantee will analyze climate model simulations to systematically investigate the role of rapid adjustments in Arctic...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $646,193 will fund research into the impact of Arctic amplification on midlatitude circulation from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The award was made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research into the integrated Earth system. The grantee, Columbia University, will examine how Arctic sea ice loss and surface warming influence atmospheric circulation patterns and extreme weather events in the Northern Hemisphere....
- This $136,629 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078 Polar Programs) to the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The purpose of the grant is to conduct collaborative research to constrain and understand regional modes of variability in the Atlantic Arctic using ultra-high-resolution climate proxies such as tree rings, lake/ocean sediments, and ice cores. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include:...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $299,817 project grant to Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc. to conduct collaborative research from November 2021 through October 2024. The research aims to improve understanding of how amplified Arctic warming may influence extreme weather patterns in midlatitudes, as supported by the NSF Polar Programs CFDA #47.078. This program seeks to strengthen polar research and understanding through basic science best...
- Columbia University was awarded a $371,187 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) for the period September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The grant will support collaborative research to map the materiality of past human responses to climate change through archaeological, ethnohistorical, and paleoclimate data collected over three field seasons with stakeholder communities. The project aims to clarify the impacts...
This three-year, $482,571 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 between Columbia University, the University of Alberta, and the University of Toronto to understand the impacts of extreme climate events on Arctic Indigenous peoples. The research team, led by Columbia University, will analyze archival materials, oral histories, and tree ring data to identify potential links between Indigenous accounts of climatic extremes and scientific records. They will engage Indigenous communities and knowledge holders in the research and develop climate change curriculum for high school students. The University of Alberta and the University of Toronto will contribute tree ring data and climate reconstructions, supervise graduate students to assist with analysis and outreach activities, and travel to northern communities to participate in presentations and meetings with elders. The grant aims to strengthen understanding of polar regions through expansion of fundamental knowledge.
