Project Grant 2135184
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded $1,097,606 under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to Stanford University for a project grant completing in April 2025. The grant supports research to measure rates of net primary production from three microalgal bloom communities in the Chukchi Sea - sea ice microalgae, under-ice phytoplankton blooms, and open water phytoplankton - and characterize the vertical sinking fluxes of particulate matter from each....
- This $156,128 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs will fund research at Oregon State University to understand massive phytoplankton blooms over the Australian-Antarctic Ridge. Over three years, the university will conduct collaborative research with satellite and ship-based measurements to study a poorly understood phytoplankton bloom in the northwestern Ross Sea sector of the Southern Ocean. Researchers will implement numerical models and target shipboard...
- This $508,887 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund collaborative research to understand massive phytoplankton blooms over the Australian-Antarctic Ridge. The University of Washington will lead efforts to study how hydrothermal activity stimulates large phytoplankton blooms in this region of the Southern Ocean, and impacts the carbon cycle. Over a three-year period, researchers will conduct satellite-based observations, numerical modeling,...
- The Leland Stanford Junior University was awarded a $163,981 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will fund collaborative research to investigate four decades of subsurface change beneath the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica using historical and modern radar sounding data. The research aims to strengthen fundamental understanding of the polar regions by expanding knowledge of ice shelf...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $185,342 project grant to the University of Connecticut Office of Sponsored Programs to support research exploring links between iron and phosphorus nutrition of Antarctic marine phytoplankton. The award, made under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA #47.078), will fund research from January 15, 2022 through December 31, 2023. The Polar Programs program aims to expand fundamental polar region knowledge and...
- The Virginia Institute of Marine Science received a $344,427 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct collaborative research titled "Predators to Plankton - Biophysical Controls in Antarctic Polynyas" from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The award falls under the NSF's Polar Programs CFDA #47.078, which supports basic research best or only conducted in polar regions to strengthen understanding of those environments....
- This federal Project Grant award of $191,150 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research by Florida State University (FSU) to investigate the role of benthic iron fluxes in fertilizing primary productivity in the Amundsen Sea, near the fastest melting Antarctic glaciers. The key objectives are to analyze sediment pore water iron content and speciation, and calculate iron fluxes across the sediment-water interface, to determine if benthic iron...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program, provides $2,374,386 to Rutgers, The State University for ecological research related to disturbances and sea ice trends along the West Antarctic Peninsula. The award period is from May 15, 2021 to April 30, 2023. Sub-awards totaling $2,374,386 were provided to nine research institutions, including the University of Virginia, University of Delaware,...
- The University of Washington was awarded a two-year, $295,699 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct research titled "THE ROLE OF SOUTHERN OCEAN IRON LIMITED DIATOMS IN MODULATING COPPER SPECIATION." The grant is part of NSF's Polar Programs, which provides funding under Assistance Listing Number 47.078 to strengthen understanding of polar regions through basic research best conducted in or related to the Arctic and Antarctic....
- Oregon State University received a $282,979 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to study submesoscale fjord variability and its influence on glacial melt from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023. The award supports research that aligns with the goals of the Polar Programs federal grant program authorized under the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number 47.078, which aims to strengthen fundamental understanding of polar regions through basic...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $1,275,313 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) for the period of September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The grant will support collaborative research to better understand massive phytoplankton blooms over the Australian-Antarctic Ridge and their relationship to hydrothermal iron sources. Specifically, the grant will fund a 40-day process study cruise to conduct hydrographic surveys, collect water and biological samples, and deploy profiling floats. The research aims to characterize the spatial extent and temporal variability of the phytoplankton bloom through satellite data analysis and numerical modeling. Insights gained will further understanding of the role of hydrothermal activity in stimulating biological productivity and carbon sequestration in the Southern Ocean. The grant also supports undergraduate and graduate student research and training opportunities directly related to the project.
