This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs award provided $362,278 to the University of Washington from July 2021 to May 2023 to support collaborative research titled "A New Mechanistic Framework for Modeling Rift Processes in Antarctic Ice Shelves Validated Through Improved Strain-Rate and Seismic Observations." The NSF Polar Programs' CFDA number 47.078 aims to strengthen understanding of polar regions through basic research. Under this project grant, the University of Washington will work with sub-awardee President and Fellows of Harvard College to develop an improved framework for modeling rift processes in Antarctic ice shelves. This will be validated using enhanced strain-rate and seismic observations. The research appears intended to further fundamental scientific knowledge of Antarctic ice shelf dynamics through collaborative modeling and observational efforts.
