- 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...
- The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded a $288,448 project grant to Oregon State University (OSU) on June 15, 2025. The grant will fund collaborative research to develop and validate multiscale numerical models that link the micromechanics of sea ice to its macroscopic behavior. The research aims to uncover how sea ice microstructural features, such as grain size, porosity, and void distribution, influence its ability to withstand environmental and mechanical...
- This $1,263,530 National Science Foundation award through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund research into the dynamics of melting ice. New York University will investigate ice melting through laboratory experiments, numerical simulations, mathematical modeling, and analysis. Researchers will study melting in idealized settings and increasingly complex situations involving changing geometry, temperature, and salinity. Experiments will precisely measure...
- The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded a $475,439 project grant to Auburn University to develop and validate multiscale numerical models that link the micromechanics of sea ice to its macroscopic behavior under various environmental and mechanical loads. The research seeks to uncover how the microstructural features of sea ice, such as grain size, porosity, and void distribution, influence its ability to withstand forces like those exerted by icebreakers...
- This $204,278 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support research by the University of Chicago to investigate how Arctic sea ice attenuation affects ocean swell, microseisms, and the potential to use seismology as a method for observing sea ice conditions. The key activities include: Analyzing seismic data from stations along the northern coasts of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland to detect seasonal and annual changes in microseisms as a...
- This $289,806 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) will support the development of new computational methods for simulating complex geophysical processes like snowmelt, water runoff, and glacier dynamics.

- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $560,052 to Colorado State University to improve seasonal sea ice extent predictability in the Arctic Ocean. The research aims to use ocean heat patterns and the timing of autumn sea ice freeze up from reanalysis data and the CESM2 Large Ensemble to evaluate which environmental variables most significantly contribute to sea ice loss. The grant...
- This federal Project Grant award of $261,675 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) is focused on advancing predictive understanding of summertime Arctic sea ice cover. The project aims to develop new methods for forecasting Arctic sea ice during the summer melt season, looking at time periods from a few weeks to an entire season. It will utilize advanced machine learning techniques to improve predictions of Arctic summer sea ice conditions, which are crucial...
