This $325,213 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York will investigate the role of meltwater in governing the geophysical properties of deforming icy systems. The project aims to create new flow laws that explicitly incorporate the effects of meltwater on ice flow, which is a key factor in modeling glacial mass loss and sea level rise. The research will employ...
This $191,868 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to understand surface-to-bed meltwater pathways across the Greenland Ice Sheet. Funded through the Polar Programs grant program (CFDA 47.078), the award will utilize machine learning and physics-based models to map cracks and draining lakes on the ice sheet from satellite imagery. Researchers at the University of Kansas Center for Research will develop open-source artificial intelligence codes to automatically detect ice...
This $362,718 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs Project Grant will support research to improve model representations of Antarctic ice-shelf instability and break-up due to surface meltwater processes. The Regents of the University of Colorado will receive funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to develop a new component for the continental-scale Ice-Sheet and Sea-Level System Model (ISSM) capable of simulating surface meltwater-induced flexure, fracture,...
This $1,076,196 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund research into the application of Stieltjes function and spectral analysis techniques to model sea ice physics. The University of Utah will conduct the three-year research project ending June 2025 to better understand how to represent sea ice properties in climate models. The research aims to develop effective homogenized parameters for sea ice composites...
This $452,989 National Science Foundation (NSF) award, funded through the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) grant program, supports a collaborative research project to investigate the disappearance of the Laurentide Ice Sheet over the last 20,000+ years. The researchers at Columbia University will use a state-of-the-art ice sheet and sea-level model to simulate the complete retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, which once covered much of North America. This research aims to better understand the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $596,821 to the University of Washington to develop new mathematical models and simulation tools for studying the calving of icebergs from glaciers. The project aims to improve predictions of sea-level rise by advancing the understanding of glacier terminus evolution and iceberg calving, which is a critical but poorly modeled aspect of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $177,641 to Alfred University to conduct research investigating the role of icebergs in contributing fresh water that disrupted Atlantic Ocean circulation during the Younger Dryas climate event approximately 12,000 years ago. The research will use high-resolution computer simulations of iceberg paths to test this hypothesis and compare the results to proxy records from Arctic lakes. This...
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. The research at Baylor University will focus on deriving high-order numerical techniques that can accurately represent the inequality constraints (e.g., non-negative water/ice depths) present in these partial...
This $793,146 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project titled "How Much and Why Did Ice Sheets Melt During the Last Interglacial (HISEAS)". The project aims to better understand how Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets responded to past periods of natural warming, in order to improve predictions of future ice sheet behavior under climate change. The research will involve a combination of...
The National Science Foundation's Polar Research (CFDA 47.078) program awarded the University of Washington a $327,580 project grant to elucidate the ocean dynamics governing melt at glaciers using Lagrangian floats. The 3-year grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, will develop instruments that drift in three dimensions to study the physical processes causing melting at an Alaskan glacier ending in a fjord. The project aims to determine whether recirculating cells and waves below the sea surface...
