The National Science Foundation's Polar Research (CFDA 47.078) program awarded the University of Washington a $327,580 project grant to elucidate the ocean dynamics governing melt at glaciers using Lagrangian floats. The 3-year grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, will develop instruments that drift in three dimensions to study the physical processes causing melting at an Alaskan glacier ending in a fjord. The project aims to determine whether recirculating cells and waves below the sea surface...
The Oregon State University was awarded a two-year, $678,615 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs' Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will support the continued operation of OSU's Marine and Geology Repository to strengthen and enhance the national scientific enterprise through the expansion of fundamental knowledge and increased understanding of the polar regions. The Repository provides critical curation and storage services...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $283,923 project grant under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2024. The grant funds the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GLACIOME: DEVELOPING A COMPREHENSIVE MODEL OF THE COUPLED GLACIER-OCEAN-MELANGE SYSTEM" project. This project will develop a new comprehensive model of the interactions between glaciers, ocean waters, and ice mélanges. The model will provide a...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $379,007 Project Grant under its Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to Oregon State University (OSU). The 3-year grant, which runs from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2027, will fund collaborative research to study physical feedbacks in the coastal Alaskan Arctic during the landfast ice freeze-up period. The research aims to better understand how waves, storms, and sediment interact during the fall freeze-up in the region, which has experienced rapid...
This $288,448 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research at Oregon State University to develop and validate multiscale numerical models linking the micromechanics of sea ice to its macroscopic behavior under various environmental conditions. The research combines advanced experimental techniques, including high-resolution X-ray computed tomography imaging and discrete element modeling, to analyze the internal structure of sea...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Polar Programs grant program (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research effort to investigate how physical oceanographic processes, such as water circulation and mixing, shape the productivity of fjord ecosystems in Greenland. The $1,038,209 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund field observations, computer modeling, and analysis to elucidate the linkages between physical transport...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,072 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program to Portland State University (PSU) effective March 1, 2024.
