- This $732,120 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences will fund research into the effects of three-dimensional and non-Newtonian mantle viscosity on relative sea-level changes and deglaciation history since the Last Glacial Maximum approximately 26,000 years ago. The University of Colorado will deliver three key products under this award. First, the research team will further develop their open-source computational modeling package CITCOMSVE to more...
- This $696,926 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds collaborative research between the University of New Mexico, University of South Florida, and Harvard University to advance understanding of global mean sea level variations and the relative contributions of polar ice sheets and glaciers. The researchers will use geological records preserved in coastal cave deposits to reconstruct global mean sea level history over the past 130,000 years...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $409,185 will support research to assess the predictability of annual to decadal sea level variability on global scales. Funded through the Geosciences program under the CFDA number 47.050, this research aims to quantify the ability of community Earth system models to simulate and predict sea level changes over timeframes relevant for coastal planning. Specifically, the awardee Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc. will determine the...
- This $191,762 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to assess the predictability of annual to decadal sea level variability on global scales. Funded through the Geosciences program under the NSF Division of Ocean Sciences, the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research will collaborate with the National Center for Atmospheric Research to conduct simulations using the Community Earth System Model. The simulations at 1 and 0.1 degree resolutions will be evaluated against...
- The University of South Florida was awarded a $537,362 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The grant aims to advance understanding of global mean sea level variations over the last 130,000 years through geological records preserved in coastal cave deposits from multiple locations. Researchers will reconstruct past sea level history and study sea level high stands during prior warm periods. They...
- This $134,207 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to transform the scientific community's understanding and forecasting of coastline changes in response to shifting storm climates and sea-level rise. The project will develop new techniques to downscale global climate model outputs to produce detailed forecasts of the winds, waves, and water levels affecting specific coastlines, such as the Carolina...
- This $200,000 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Michigan from September 2022 to August 2025 to investigate the importance of sea-level feedbacks in stabilizing marine-based ice sheets during retreat. The research will combine new late Pleistocene/Holocene relative sea-level data from Scotland with glacial isostatic adjustment models to understand sensitivity of the former Minch Ice Stream to local...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $795,643 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund a research project from March 2023 through February 2026 to examine recent changes in sea level and circulation around the Grand Banks region. The project aims to investigate forcing mechanisms behind observed sea level anomalies, examine connectivity of sea level change between continental shelves and open...
- This three-year, $361,678 National Science Foundation project grant supports research investigating the importance of sea-level feedbacks in stabilizing marine-based ice sheets during retreat. Funded under the Geosciences program, which supports basic research expanding understanding of the integrated Earth system, the University of California, Santa Barbara will combine new late Pleistocene/Holocene relative sea-level data from Scotland with ice sheet and glacial isostatic adjustment...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $335,736 to the University of California Santa Cruz under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship spanning December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2027. This project investigates Northern Hemisphere ocean and ice sheet variability during the Early Pleistocene (2.5 to 1.7 million years ago) using deep-sea sediment cores collected from a 2023 marine drilling...
This $221,255 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to better understand spatial variability in sea level change during the last interglacial period approximately 120,000 years ago. The grantee will develop high-resolution global models of mantle flow to predict dynamic topography change across the greater Caribbean region over this timeframe. They will also compile a comprehensive dataset of interglacial sea level indicators in the region. By combining these modeling and observational data in a statistical inversion with published glacial isostatic adjustment predictions, the grantee aims to estimate dynamic topography change and its contribution to spatial variability in regional and global mean sea level during the last interglacial warming period. This work seeks to improve scientific understanding of processes influencing spatially variable sea level rise and ice sheet sensitivity to climate change. The $221k award will be completed by December 31, 2022.
