The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $149,262 project grant to The Ohio State University Office of Sponsored Programs under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program.

The award will fund collaborative research to study mineral weathering in snowbanks and supraglacial ice in Antarctica's McMurdo Dry Valleys through computer modeling, laboratory experiments, and field sampling. Researchers will examine freeze-thaw cycling of dust particles to understand physical and chemical changes and model nutrient release. Findings will contribute to knowledge of nutrient availability and delivery in polar environments.

Additionally, the university will produce two traveling science and art exhibits to increase public understanding of connections between small-scale Antarctic science and large-scale systems. The first exhibit will link macro-scale Antarctic landscapes to microscopy images, while the second presents contemporary art exploring perceptions of the Antarctic's scale. Both are scheduled for completion by the award's July 2025 end date.
