- This $109,690 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Research (CFDA 47.078) program will support a collaborative research project to obtain new ice cores from Antarctica and analyze them to improve understanding of galactic cosmic ray flux and the Holocene methane budget. The project will use measurements of in-situ cosmogenic carbon-14 in the ice cores to test the assumption of a constant galactic cosmic ray flux over time, which is crucial for studies of past solar...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Research (CFDA 47.078) program provides $755,980 to the University of Rochester to obtain and analyze new ice cores from Antarctica's Dome C. The research aims to improve understanding of the history of galactic cosmic ray flux and the global methane budget over the Holocene period. Key activities include: Measuring in-situ cosmogenic carbon-14 in the ice cores to test the assumption of a constant galactic cosmic ray flux,...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $656,841 project grant to the Berkeley Geochronology Center to improve the 40Ar/39Ar geochronometer. The goal of this three-year grant, which runs from August 2021 through July 2024, is to strengthen and enhance the national scientific enterprise through basic research in the earth sciences, as outlined in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Specifically, the Berkeley Geochronology Center will work to enhance the precision...
