- The Leland Stanford Junior University was awarded a $163,981 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will fund collaborative research to investigate four decades of subsurface change beneath the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica using historical and modern radar sounding data. The research aims to strengthen fundamental understanding of the polar regions by expanding knowledge of ice shelf...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $245,046 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to develop and field test community-driven ice penetrating radar systems for observing complex ice sheet structure and flow. Specifically, the award will support developing a snowmobile-towed radar and unmanned aerial vehicle radar system based on shared software and post-processing tools. Both systems are designed to...
- This $870,804 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a 5-year research project at the University of Washington focused on improving the representation of small-scale sea ice processes in climate models. The key objectives are to refine the modeling of sea ice deformation and fractures at the floe scale, and establish connections between these small-scale dynamics and larger-scale sea ice behavior. This will involve a...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs award provided $362,278 to the University of Washington from July 2021 to May 2023 to support collaborative research titled "A New Mechanistic Framework for Modeling Rift Processes in Antarctic Ice Shelves Validated Through Improved Strain-Rate and Seismic Observations." The NSF Polar Programs' CFDA number 47.078 aims to strengthen understanding of polar regions through basic research. Under this project grant, the University of...
- This $411,096 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University). The project aims to utilize machine learning and physics-based models to map and understand how surface meltwater on the Greenland ice sheet reaches the bedrock, which can impact ice sheet dynamics and response to climate change. Key products and services to be delivered include: Development of open-source deep...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $269,022 to support research aimed at improving ice shelf instability and breakup modeling. Specifically, the University of California, Los Angeles will develop a new component for the continental-scale Ice Sheet and Sea Level System Model to simulate surface meltwater-induced flexure, fracture, and large-scale ice shelf breakup. To achieve...
