This $1,822,863 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to measure the East Greenland Coastal Current on the Northeast Greenland Shelf. The project aims to quantify the volume, heat, and freshwater transports of this current and compare them to the neighboring East Greenland Current. An array of six moorings will be deployed to collect continuous measurements of temperature, salinity, and current...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Polar Programs grant program (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research effort to investigate how physical oceanographic processes, such as water circulation and mixing, shape the productivity of fjord ecosystems in Greenland. The $1,038,209 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund field observations, computer modeling, and analysis to elucidate the linkages between physical transport...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $199,997 project grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to support research titled "RAPID: FATE OF FRESHWATER AND HEAT IN THE WEST GREENLAND CURRENT." The grant period runs from April 15, 2021 through March 31, 2022. Under this award, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will conduct basic research to strengthen understanding of polar regions by investigating the fate of...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a $117,429 project grant award from the National Science Foundation on February 15, 2021 to support wintertime hydrography research in the Chukchi Sea through January 31, 2022. Under the NSF's Polar Programs, which supports basic research in polar regions through grant CFDA number 47.078, Woods Hole will conduct oceanographic data collection to strengthen understanding of fundamental polar science. Specifically, the Institution will carry out...
The National Science Foundation awarded The Johns Hopkins University a $466,423 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for work spanning March 15, 2023 through February 28, 2026. The university will utilize ocean models to understand how melting Arctic ice and precipitation influence ocean currents in the North Atlantic. Researchers will track Arctic waters using novel approaches including artificial intelligence to determine the fate of Arctic water and sources of unusually...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $505,558 project grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to Oregon State University. The 3-year grant, which began on October 1, 2023, will support a collaborative research project to elucidate the ocean dynamics governing melt at glaciers using Lagrangian floats. The research aims to determine the physical processes causing melting at an Alaskan glacier that ends in a fjord, focusing on whether recirculating cells and waves below the...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $380,718 project grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to study the drivers and impacts of saltwater intrusion along Arctic coastlines. The 3-year grant, awarded on April 1, 2024, will support an interdisciplinary field and laboratory study along the Beaufort Sea coast of Alaska. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize subsurface temperature, water level, thaw depth, and porewater salinity dynamics, 2) measure...
This $436,468 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a research initiative by Brown University to develop future scenarios for Arctic maritime accessibility. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Using numerical weather prediction and machine learning techniques to model the probability of hazardous icing conditions and dangerous sea ice convergence along Arctic maritime shipping routes. 2)...
This Project Grant award of $335,701 from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research by the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to study the oceanographic drivers of nearshore and landfast sea ice seasonal transitions in the Arctic. The key objectives are to understand the coupled evolution of the ocean wave field and nearshore ice, as well as how ocean currents, waves, and sea level changes contribute to the destabilization and breakup of landfast ice....
This is a Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) in the amount of $104,749 on July 15, 2024. The grant will support a research project to study the collapsing ice and ocean ecosystem of Milne Fiord in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The key activities under this grant include collecting in-situ hydrographic profiles and water samples across the Milne Fiord to better understand the spatial distribution of ocean forcing and glacial melting. These...
