This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $155,165 supports collaborative research to improve measurements of Arctic river sediment fluxes. The research will engage local Alaska Native students to collect data and supports early career women and students. Specifically, the award funds the development and deployment of low-cost "do-it-yourself" optical backscatter sensors to measure sediment concentrations in the Tanana River near Fairbanks, Alaska across four seasons -...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 project grant to support research examining the impact of varying sediment supply on Arctic delta-front transport processes. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support research from April 2021 to March 2023 exploring fundamental knowledge and increased understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grant will fund analysis of how...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to quantify the role of pressure gradients in nearshore sediment mobility and transport using distributed fiber-optic sensing. The $298,491 award to Oregon State University will fund laboratory experiments and field observations to improve understanding of how wave-driven pressure gradients near the seafloor influence sand movement and coastal evolution. The project will...
This $211,412 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs award under the Polar Programs (47.078) federal grant program will fund a collaborative research project between Oregon State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill examining Arctic shelf sediment pathways and morphodynamic feedbacks. The award period is from December 15, 2022 through August 31, 2023. Specifically, the researchers will conduct field measurements of sediment fluxes and seabed properties...
This $148,707 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project titled "EMBRACE-EAR-SEED: Meltwater and Suspended Sediment in a Glaciated Volcanic Watershed." The project aims to use the mineral composition of suspended sediment in the Puyallup River watershed in Washington state to determine the fraction of sediment coming from lowland versus upland sources as glaciers retreat and rainfall patterns shift due to...
This three-year, $654,518 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support the University of Maine in developing an open, platform-agnostic sediment trap controller and imaging sensor to measure sinking organic carbon fluxes in the ocean's mesopelagic zone (500-1,000 meters). Specifically, the University will create a controller to simplify the construction and deployment of neutrally buoyant sediment traps...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $306,062 Project Grant to Princeton University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research from April 2022 through March 2025. The research aims to advance understanding of cohesive sediment transport through multiscale experiments and numerical simulations. Specifically, the university will combine nano- to microscale imaging and molecular dynamics simulations, micro- to mesoscale millifluidic experiments and...
The University of Alaska Anchorage was awarded a $400,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund research from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2028 to understand changing river discharge dynamics in the rapidly warming Arctic region of Greenland. The grantee will measure components of the water cycle across watersheds with varying glacial coverage in Greenland. Field data...
This five-year, $460,399 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research and education initiatives focused on improving flood hazard assessments. The principal investigator at Northeastern University will establish a long-term floodplain sedimentation observatory and develop hydraulic models to better understand landscape controls on alluvial sedimentation patterns. This work will help constrain flood hazard estimates through...
The University of Alaska Anchorage will receive $365,000 from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research developing capacity for planning and adapting to riverbank erosion and its consequences in the Yukon River Basin from January 2022 through December 2026. As part of its basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the NSF Geosciences program supports projects that strengthen understanding of integrated Earth...
