This $399,064 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs will support targeted basic research to enable Antarctic science applications of cosmogenic-nuclide geochemistry. The Berkeley Geochronology Center will conduct experiments to improve techniques for determining the age of glacial deposits in polar regions, specifically Antarctica. This includes developing a "virtual mineral separation" approach to cosmogenic noble gas analysis and identifying...
The University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography will receive $363,261 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs. The grant will fund collaborative research titled "Peripheral East Antarctic Ice as a Unique Recorder of Climate Variability During the Last Interglacial" from August 2021 through July 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of polar regions by expanding knowledge of climate...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $225,001 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, to conduct "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: BACK TO THE FUTURE: ASSIMILATING PALEO THINNING RATES AND GROUNDING LINE POSITIONS TO CONSTRAIN FUTURE ANTARCTIC SEA LEVEL CONTRIBUTIONS" under CFDA 47.078 - Polar Programs.

This $377,603 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research by the University of Colorado to investigate the effects of transient and non-Newtonian mantle viscosity on glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) processes and their implications for GPS observations in Antarctica. The project aims to build an accurate and efficient computer model to study the displacement and deformation of the Antarctic crust and mantle in response to...
This $126,121 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports collaborative research to analyze temporal variations in the glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The research aims to improve understanding of how continental-scale ice sheets respond to climate change, which is critical for predicting future sea level rise. Key activities include: Leveraging existing seismic data to examine changes over time in...
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...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, titled "Collaborative Research: Site Survey for Subglacial Bedrock Exposure Dating at the Margin of the Wilkes Basin in Northern Victoria Land," provides $116,342 to support basic research activities that are best conducted in Antarctica's polar regions. Funded under the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to expand fundamental polar knowledge and understanding, the award will allow the...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $176,184 Project Grant to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, doing business as the Colorado School of Mines, to conduct collaborative research on improving projections of future Antarctic sea level rise. The key products and services under this CFDA 47.078 Polar Programs grant include: Integrating paleoglaciological observations from the Holocene period into an advanced ice sheet model (BISICLES) to establish the...
