The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $302,445 Project Grant to Columbia University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2023.
The grant funding supports Columbia University's research project "Investigating the Influence of Ocean Temperature on Antarctic Ice Sheet Evolution During the Early to Middle Pleistocene." The project aims to strengthen understanding of the polar regions by conducting basic research on how ocean temperatures impacted the evolution of the Antarctic ice sheet between 2.6 million and 800,000 years ago. Insights gained from this research will enhance fundamental knowledge of polar climate dynamics during a critical period of Antarctic glaciation. The work is well-aligned with the goals of the NSF Polar Programs CFDA to encourage polar research best conducted in the field. All activities will be performed at Columbia University's facilities in Palisades, New York.
