The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded Dartmouth College a $654,264 project grant under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to conduct research titled "PROCESSES, DRIVERS, PREDICTIONS: MODELING THE RESPONSE OF THWAITES GLACIER OVER THE NEXT CENTURY USING ICE/OCEAN COUPLED MODELS (PROPHET)." Dartmouth College will utilize ice/ocean coupled models to model the response of Thwaites Glacier over the next century to better understand the...
This Project Grant award, totaling $528,369.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to Trustees of Dartmouth College. The award, with a start date of July 1, 2025 and an end date of June 30, 2028, supports collaborative research to develop a comprehensive, physics-based model for understanding the densification of polar firn and its impact on ice sheet dynamics. The research aims to characterize the microstructural evolution of firn cores...
Trustees of Dartmouth College will receive $269,822 from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on eukaryotic life and its preservation within the Mesoproterozoic Lower Belt Supergroup. Dartmouth researchers will combine lithostratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, and detrital geochronological analysis of fossil-rich formations in Montana to better understand early eukaryote evolution and diversification patterns. The project...
