- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $102,788 Project Grant under the Polar Research (NSPR) program (CFDA 47.078) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, Office of Sponsored Projects Administration. The award will fund a collaborative research project to obtain ice cores from Dome C in Antarctica and analyze them to improve understanding of the history of cosmic rays reaching the solar system and the global methane budget over the past 7,000 years. The project aims to test...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $287,230.00 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY) to investigate mechanisms of moisture-driven ice growth in Antarctica during the warmer Miocene climate period. The project uses a combination of climate and ice sheet models along with new geologic data to evaluate how increased precipitation may have led to ice sheet growth despite overall warmer global...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $359,487, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Trustees of Princeton University. The funding will be used to develop advanced analytical methods for high-resolution chemical imaging and dating of ancient ice cores from Antarctica's Blue Ice Areas, which contain climate records spanning over 1 million years. Specifically, the project will utilize cryo-cell laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded Macalester College a $148,032 Project Grant to conduct collaborative research on the effects of obliquity and precession on Antarctic ice margin dynamics, as inferred from ice-rafted debris in Southern Indian Ocean sediments. The investigators will analyze sediment cores to reconstruct a record of glacial activity in the Antarctic ice sheet over time, which will help elucidate how changes in the Earth's orbit and axis...
- This $254,882 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research investigating the sensitivity of reactive halogen abundance to glacial-interglacial climate change. Over a three-year period ending June 2025, the University of Rochester will examine how blowing snow on sea ice may explain increased sodium ion observations in ice cores over glacial-interglacial timescales. The project will also identify major drivers for reactive halogen...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences), provides $600,000 in funding from August 2025 to July 2026 for scientists at six U.S. institutions to analyze cosmic rays using data gathered by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole. The IceCube detector, which consists of one cubic kilometer of natural ice, identifies particle cascades from high-energy cosmic rays entering the Earth's atmosphere. This award...
- This $248,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a collaborative research project to investigate Arctic sea ice coverage and its biogeochemical impacts over the past 150,000 years. The research team at the University of Massachusetts Boston will analyze ocean sediment cores to reconstruct historical Arctic sea ice extent and ocean conditions during past warm periods, including the Holocene Thermal Maximum and the Last...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a collaborative research project to investigate moisture-driven mechanisms of ice growth in Antarctica during the Miocene climate optimum, approximately 17-14.8 million years ago. The $237,667 award, with a performance period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, will support an interdisciplinary team of researchers across three institutions, led by George Mason University. The project...
- This $1,237,840 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under CFDA Program 47.078, will fund research by the University of Colorado to quantify climate variability and extremes over the past 100,000 years. The research team will use high-resolution measurements from ancient polar ice cores to statistically analyze changes in climate variability and the frequency of extreme events as the Earth's average climate has fluctuated over...
