This $184,798 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Stony Brook University. The purpose of the grant is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of seismic data collected over the past two decades across Antarctica to investigate seasonal and long-term temporal changes in glacial and subglacial structures. Key research activities include...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $383,202 project grant to The Washington University to conduct research on the thermal and compositional structure of the Antarctic mantle from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. Under the grant, the university will use probabilistic joint inversion of seismic, gravity, and topography data along with petrological modeling to map the three-dimensional thermal and compositional structure of the Antarctic mantle from the surface...
This $126,121 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports collaborative research to analyze temporal variations in the glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The research aims to improve understanding of how continental-scale ice sheets respond to climate change, which is critical for predicting future sea level rise. Key activities include: Leveraging existing seismic data to examine changes over time in...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, titled "Collaborative Research: Site Survey for Subglacial Bedrock Exposure Dating at the Margin of the Wilkes Basin in Northern Victoria Land," provides $116,342 to support basic research activities that are best conducted in Antarctica's polar regions. Funded under the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to expand fundamental polar knowledge and understanding, the award will allow the...
This $753,858 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research initiative to study the near-Earth geospace environment and its interactions with the solar system at the U.S. Antarctic research stations of South Pole, McMurdo, and Palmer. The grant will fund the deployment and maintenance of an integrated suite of geospace instrumentation, including magnetometers, receivers, riometers, and optical systems, to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $151,786 three-year Project Grant to Stony Brook University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will support collaborative research linking marine and terrestrial sedimentary evidence to better understand variability in glaciation of the Weddell Embayment and Antarctic Peninsula regions from the Pliocene to Pleistocene epochs. As the awardee, Stony Brook University will leverage its expertise...
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...
This $199,162 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support collaborative research on the geospace environment and its interactions with the solar wind at the U.S. Antarctic research stations of South Pole, McMurdo, and Palmer. The funding will enable the deployment and maintenance of a suite of geospace instruments, including magnetometers, receivers, riometers, and optical systems. The research aims to advance understanding of...
This $578,675 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research project led by the University of Chicago that will explore the dynamics of ice shelf boundaries in Antarctica. The research will feature on-site glaciological and geophysical field surveys near pressure ridges along the Ross Island coast, an area critical for Antarctic logistics and operations. The project aims to better understand the processes that generate...
This $560,876 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will support collaborative research exploring interlinked physical, biological, and geochemical properties of seafloor sediments around Antarctica. Led by three early-career women principal investigators at the Colorado School of Mines, the research team will analyze archived marine sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to...
