The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY) received a $151,258 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs on July 1, 2021 to support research titled "A Fossil Ecosystem Under the Ice: Deciphering the Glacial and Vegetation History of Northwest Greenland Using Long-Lost Camp Century Basal Sediment." The two-year grant will fund collaborative research to decipher the glacial and vegetation history of northwest Greenland through analysis of basal sediment recovered from the decommissioned Camp Century nuclear-powered base.
The award is provided under the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs, which provides $151K in funding through June 30, 2023 to strengthen understanding of the polar regions through basic research conducted in or uniquely enabled by the polar environments, such as the proposed analysis of sediment from the Greenland field site.
