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 $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 of $148,032 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project at Macalester College to investigate Antarctic ice margin dynamics. The project aims to reconstruct a record of ice-rafted debris accumulation in sediment cores from the Southern Indian Ocean to understand how changes in Earth's orbital parameters, such as obliquity and precession, have affected the growth and melt of the Antarctic ice...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's 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 $462,000 award, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028, will fund the analysis of ocean sediment cores to reconstruct historical Arctic sea ice extent and ocean conditions during two key warm periods - the Holocene Thermal Maximum (~8,000 years ago)...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $126,121 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) for a 3-year collaborative research project to study temporal variations in glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The project aims to leverage existing seismic data to better understand how the physical properties of the Antarctic ice sheet change over time, including seasonal variations in subglacial hydrological systems....
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $832,098 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on September 15, 2023. The award will fund a 4-year collaborative research project to investigate the impacts of climate change-driven glacier retreat on Andean volcanoes in the inner tropics, including effects on water supply, vegetation, elemental cycling, and local indigenous Kichwa communities. The...
This $248,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a collaborative research project to investigate past Arctic sea ice coverage and its biogeochemical impacts. The research team, led by 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, focusing on the Holocene Thermal Maximum and Last Interglacial periods. The...
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 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 (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $596,537 Project Grant to the University of Chicago to conduct collaborative research on understanding the impact of Arctic sea ice loss on summertime climate change. This 3-year award, which runs from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026, is funded under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support basic research that expands knowledge and understanding of the Earth system. The key objectives of the...
