- This $248,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research project to investigate historical Arctic sea ice coverage and its biogeochemical impacts. The research team at the University of Massachusetts Boston will analyze ocean sediment cores to reconstruct Arctic sea ice extent and ocean conditions over the past 150,000 years, with a focus on the Holocene Thermal Maximum and the Last Interglacial periods....
- This $594,726 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research to investigate historical sources of lead pollution in the northern hemisphere over the past 2,500 years. The research team, led by the Desert Research Institute (DRI), will use inverse modeling of lead isotopes in high-resolution Arctic ice cores to quantify emissions from specific historical sources such as mining, smelting, coal combustion, and oil/gasoline...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $814,685 to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine) to analyze molecular hydrogen (H2) in an ice core from Summit, Greenland. The goal is to reconstruct atmospheric changes in H2 over the past millennium, which will establish a baseline to assess how human activities have influenced atmospheric H2 since the preindustrial era. The research involves drilling a new ice core,...
