This two-year, $249,851 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs supports research to advance paleoclimate reconstruction techniques for thin or disturbed ice core sections. The University of Maine will collaborate with other institutions to test next generation measurement methods for resolving annual layers at sub-centimeter scales in ice cores. Researchers will integrate precisely co-registered electrical conductivity, hyperspectral imaging, laser ablation...
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, 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...
This $1,237,840 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under CFDA Program 47.078, will fund research by the University of Colorado to quantify climate variability and extremes over the past 100,000 years. The research team will use high-resolution measurements from ancient polar ice cores to statistically analyze changes in climate variability and the frequency of extreme events as the Earth's average climate has fluctuated over...
This $4,356,061 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports the Ice Drilling Program (IDP) to provide community leadership, operation, and maintenance of a facility dedicated to ice drilling engineering, field support, and education/outreach. Key objectives include: 1) developing integrated science and drilling technology plans, 2) providing field support with drilling equipment and expertise for NSF-funded science, 3) identifying new...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs award provided $362,278 to the University of Washington from July 2021 to May 2023 to support collaborative research titled "A New Mechanistic Framework for Modeling Rift Processes in Antarctic Ice Shelves Validated Through Improved Strain-Rate and Seismic Observations." The NSF Polar Programs' CFDA number 47.078 aims to strengthen understanding of polar regions through basic research. Under this project grant, the University of...
This $369,854 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will support research to further understanding of Arctic sea ice variability in the 20th century. Specifically, the University of Washington will produce a new, physically realistic reconstruction of Arctic sea ice and sea surface temperatures during the 20th century. This reconstruction will be used to study Arctic sea ice during the early 20th century warming period from 1915 to 1940, when the Arctic warmed...
This $325,213 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a research project to investigate the role of meltwater in governing the geophysical properties and flow of deforming icy systems. The project aims to create new ice flow laws that explicitly account for the impact of meltwater, with the goal of improving models of glacial mass loss and sea level rise. The principal investigator at Columbia University will conduct a...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $371,742 to the University of Washington from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The funding will support development of a new modeling component for the continental-scale Ice Sheet and Sea Level System Model (ISSM). This new component aims to simulate surface meltwater-induced flexure, fracture, and large-scale ice shelf break-up in...
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...
