The Columbia University was awarded a $516,683 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: SENSITIVITY OF THE WEST ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET TO 2? CELSIUS (SWAIS 2C)." The grant period is from September 15, 2021 through August 31, 2025. Under this award, Columbia University researchers will collaborate to strengthen the understanding of the West...
The National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs awarded a $899,856 project grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, on August 15, 2023. The funding supports a collaborative U.S./U.K. research project investigating the direct influence of meltwater on the dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheet. The key activities include a field campaign on Flade Glacier and a continent-wide remote sensing survey to test hypotheses related to how surface meltwater reaching...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $132,303 project grant to Columbia University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will support collaborative research to improve understanding of past variability in glaciation in the Weddell Embayment and Antarctic Peninsula regions. Eleven investigators from seven U.S. institutions and Argentine collaborators will study sediment cores from the International Ocean Discovery Program as well...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $299,055 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) to investigate how variations in Earth's orbital patterns influence surface melting and the climate of Antarctica. The researchers will identify and date past periods of ice melting on the Antarctic continent using uranium-thorium dating of pedogenic carbonates deposited by meltwater, with the goal of correlating...
This $397,492 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to study the melting of ice sheets during the last interglacial period approximately 130,000 to 115,000 years ago. The project, led by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, aims to better understand when and how much the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets melted, as well as the climate conditions and ice dynamics that drove their...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $383,202 project grant to The Washington University to conduct research on the thermal and compositional structure of the Antarctic mantle from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. Under the grant, the university will use probabilistic joint inversion of seismic, gravity, and topography data along with petrological modeling to map the three-dimensional thermal and compositional structure of the Antarctic mantle from the surface...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $760,789 to Columbia University from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026. The funding supports research testing the hypothesis that rapid atmospheric adjustments are fundamental to the occurrence of Arctic amplification. The grantee will analyze climate model simulations to systematically investigate the role of rapid adjustments in Arctic...
