The National Science Foundation awarded a $283,923 project grant under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2024. The grant funds the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GLACIOME: DEVELOPING A COMPREHENSIVE MODEL OF THE COUPLED GLACIER-OCEAN-MELANGE SYSTEM" project. This project will develop a new comprehensive model of the interactions between glaciers, ocean waters, and ice mélanges. The model will provide a...
This $208,083 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research project to quantify the processes controlling the melting of tidewater glaciers and their impact on sea-level rise. The primary goals are to: Use specialized underwater robots and sensors to directly measure velocity, salinity, temperature, and ice morphology within the turbulent boundary layer at the glacier-ocean interface. Combine these field observations...
The National Science Foundation's Polar Research (CFDA 47.078) program awarded the University of Washington a $327,580 project grant to elucidate the ocean dynamics governing melt at glaciers using Lagrangian floats. The 3-year grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, will develop instruments that drift in three dimensions to study the physical processes causing melting at an Alaskan glacier ending in a fjord. The project aims to determine whether recirculating cells and waves below the sea surface...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $505,558 project grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to Oregon State University. The 3-year grant, which began on October 1, 2023, will support a collaborative research project to elucidate the ocean dynamics governing melt at glaciers using Lagrangian floats. The research aims to determine the physical processes causing melting at an Alaskan glacier that ends in a fjord, focusing on whether recirculating cells and waves below the...
Georgia Tech Research Corporation was awarded a $780,880 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to develop computational methods for assimilating observational data into ice sheet models. The award period is from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2028. Under this award, Georgia Tech Research Corporation will create an open-source software package applying transient ensemble Kalman filtering...

The grant funds the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GLACIOME: DEVELOPING A COMPREHENSIVE MODEL OF THE COUPLED GLACIER-OCEAN-MELANGE SYSTEM" project. This project will develop a comprehensive model of the interactions between glaciers, surrounding ocean waters, and ice mélange to...
Oregon State University received a $282,979 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to study submesoscale fjord variability and its influence on glacial melt from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023. The award supports research that aligns with the goals of the Polar Programs federal grant program authorized under the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number 47.078, which aims to strengthen fundamental understanding of polar regions through basic...
The National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs awarded a $899,856 project grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, on August 15, 2023. The funding supports a collaborative U.S./U.K. research project investigating the direct influence of meltwater on the dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheet. The key activities include a field campaign on Flade Glacier and a continent-wide remote sensing survey to test hypotheses related to how surface meltwater reaching...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $325,213 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to investigate the role of meltwater in governing the geophysical properties of deforming icy systems. The research aims to create new flow laws that explicitly incorporate the effects of meltwater, which is critical for improving models of glacial ice flow and sea level rise as the climate warms. The project will employ...
