The Boise State University received a $260,444 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs' Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to conduct collaborative research from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The university will analyze mineral weathering in snowbanks and supraglacial ice in Antarctica through computer modeling, laboratory experiments, and field sampling. Researchers aim to understand the chemical and physical changes to glacier and snowpack dust during freezing and thawing cycles. They also seek to model nutrient release from dust and determine if meltwater contains critical nutrients for surrounding ecosystems. Findings will advance knowledge of weathering mechanisms and nutrient availability in glacial systems. The university will create two traveling science and art exhibits to promote public understanding of connections between small-scale Antarctic science and large-scale systems. The award is consistent with the NSF's mission to strengthen polar research.
