- Federal Grant Award Summary The University of Colorado, awarded $1,011,669 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) beginning October 1, 2025, will conduct a five-year research program investigating the role of coastal Antarctic snow algae and light-absorbing particles in regional snowmelt and climate impacts. The project will develop novel satellite-based computer algorithms to map ice algal bloom effects across the Western Antarctic Peninsula—a region...
- 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...
- 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...
- The Utah State University received a $642,524 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs on February 1, 2022 for collaborative research under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The research aims to study the effects of climate-induced sea-level rise, warming and herbivory on vegetation and greenhouse gas emission in coastal western Alaska. The Polar Programs program supports basic research in the polar regions to further fundamental...
- The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded $684,964 under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to Stanford University. The five-year project grant funding will support research and development of customized numerical models to understand the possibility and implications of an internal shear band forming in ice flowing over rough topography. Specifically, the principal investigator will develop a suite of open-source tools to test the hypothesis...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded South Dakota State University a $380,435 project grant to conduct collaborative research on climate-induced sea-level rise, warming, and herbivory effects on vegetation and greenhouse gas emission in coastal western Alaska. This award, made under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program on February 1, 2022, will support research through January 31, 2026 that aims to strengthen understanding of fundamental...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $245,046 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to develop and field test community-driven ice penetrating radar systems for observing complex ice sheet structure and flow. Specifically, the award will support developing a snowmobile-towed radar and unmanned aerial vehicle radar system based on shared software and post-processing tools. Both systems are designed to...
- The University of Colorado Denver received a $376,970 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct collaborative research on the effects of climate-induced sea-level rise, warming and herbivory on vegetation and greenhouse gas emission in coastal Western Alaska. The grant was awarded on February 1, 2022 under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA #47.078) and will support research activities through January 31, 2026. The Polar Programs...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $335,468 to Princeton University from December 2021 through November 2023. The funding supports research titled "Quantifying the Chukchi Sea's Role in Modulating Present and Future Changes of Pacific Waters in the Arctic" under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental Earth systems knowledge through basic research support. This award will...
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. Key deliverables include field measurements from a 45-day June 2023 process study cruise, laboratory experiments on microalgal buoyancy regulation and sinking speeds, and education/training of graduate and undergraduate students. Results will further the understanding of ecosystem changes in the Arctic Ocean as sea ice loss alters bloom dynamics and particle fluxes.
