This $254,639 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 advance paleoclimate reconstruction techniques using thin or disturbed ice core sections. The University of Washington will develop new instrumentation and data workflows at the National Science Foundation Ice Core Facility to investigate sub-centimeter chemical and physical variations in polar ice cores. Researchers will...
This $661,462 National Science Foundation project grant under the Polar Programs (47.078) federal grant program supports the acquisition of new laser ablation-high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-HR-ICPMS) instrumentation at the University of Maine. The new instrumentation will replace aging equipment and significantly expand the university's capabilities for trace element analysis of environmental samples like aqueous solutions and ice cores to support climate,...
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 three-year, $1.2 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences aims to test the role of seasonality in abrupt climate change through reconstructing fluctuations of a late-glacial ice mass in eastern North America. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the University of Maine will collaborate with researchers to determine the signature of summer warming-driven ice retreat...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, titled "Collaborative Research: Site Survey for Subglacial Bedrock Exposure Dating at the Margin of the Wilkes Basin in Northern Victoria Land," provides $116,342 to support basic research activities that are best conducted in Antarctica's polar regions. Funded under the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to expand fundamental polar knowledge and understanding, the award will allow the...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $529,842 supports the development of a new ice core proxy technique to reconstruct past melt in Arctic ice cores and apply the technique to study past warm periods. The award was made under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to Oregon State University on February 1, 2022 for completion by January 31, 2025. Specifically, the grantee will develop a new method using the xenon/nitrogen ratio to reconstruct surface melt intensity...
This three-year, $109,644 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences aims to advance understanding of abrupt climate change through reconstructing fluctuations of a late-glacial ice mass in eastern North America. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University of Arizona will lead efforts to determine the role of seasonality in abrupt climate shifts by mapping glacial landforms and dating the pattern and timing of recession for an ice cap...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities, under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083), provides $139,022 to Plymouth State University from January 15, 2023 through December 31, 2024. The funding will support research to reconstruct past climate records in New England from 13,000 years ago when a large ice sheet was retreating, through analysis of organic molecules in lake sediments. The research aims to elucidate the role...
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 $201,779 Project Grant is funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) and is awarded to the University of Maine System. The grant supports a research project titled "Collaborative Research: Ice-Shelf Rumpling and Its Influence on Ice-Shelf Buttressing Processes." The key objectives of the project are to investigate the dynamics of compressive boundaries where Antarctic ice shelves flow against obstructions such as islands and grounded ice. The...
