The National Science Foundation awarded a $269,223 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin from the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to support research titled "Collaborative Research: Machine-Enabled Modeling of Terminus Ablation for Greenland's Outlet Glaciers." The research aims to improve projections of sea-level rise from Greenland through developing physics-based modeling of ice-ocean interactions at outlet glaciers using machine learning analysis...
This $155,602 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will fund research to improve understanding of outlet glacier dynamics in Greenland. The University of Alaska Southeast will collaborate with other researchers to analyze new field observations and satellite data on runoff-driven and terminus-driven velocity variations at a large marine-terminating outlet glacier. Multivariate statistical...
This $157,585 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support collaborative research to disentangle the impacts of runoff and ocean terminus dynamics on the flow velocities of fast-flowing outlet glaciers in Greenland. The primary awardee, Morgan State University, will combine new field observations and satellite data analysis to address three key research questions: 1) How does runoff affect outlet glacier flow over timescales from...
This $191,868 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to understand surface-to-bed meltwater pathways across the Greenland Ice Sheet. Funded through the Polar Programs grant program (CFDA 47.078), the award will utilize machine learning and physics-based models to map cracks and draining lakes on the ice sheet from satellite imagery. Researchers at the University of Kansas Center for Research will develop open-source artificial intelligence codes to automatically detect ice...
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 four-year, $565,121 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will fund collaborative research at the University of Alaska Fairbanks to improve understanding of outlet glacier dynamics in Greenland. The researchers will combine new field observations at a large marine-terminating outlet glacier with satellite data analysis and numerical modeling to disentangle the relative influence of...
This $261,675 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) is supporting a collaborative research effort to advance predictive understanding of summertime Arctic sea ice cover. The research project aims to develop new machine learning-based models to improve forecasting of Arctic sea ice extent and behavior, which is crucial for understanding the impacts of climate change on local and global economies and societies. The award will fund a 2-year...
This Project Grant award of $208,083 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research project to investigate the melting of tidewater glaciers and its impact on sea-level rise. The primary objective is to use specialized underwater robots and sensors to directly measure the velocity, salinity, and temperature of the turbulent boundary layer at a near-vertical glacier face and relate these to observations of the subsurface ice morphology....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $596,821 to the University of Washington to develop new mathematical models and simulation tools for studying the calving of icebergs from glaciers. The project aims to improve predictions of sea-level rise by advancing the understanding of glacier terminus evolution and iceberg calving, which is a critical but poorly modeled aspect of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $133,492 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF), through its Division of Sponsored Research, to conduct collaborative research on quantifying the effect of moraine building on the stability of Greenland tidewater glaciers. The project aims to collect observations from the fronts of three Greenland outlet glaciers to determine if the deposition of sediment at the ice-ocean boundary is responsible for the...
