This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $269,022 to support research aimed at improving ice shelf instability and breakup modeling. Specifically, the University of California, Los Angeles will develop a new component for the continental-scale Ice Sheet and Sea Level System Model to simulate surface meltwater-induced flexure, fracture, and large-scale ice shelf breakup. To achieve...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $371,742 to the University of Washington from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The funding will support development of a new modeling component for the continental-scale Ice Sheet and Sea Level System Model (ISSM). This new component aims to simulate surface meltwater-induced flexure, fracture, and large-scale ice shelf break-up in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $368,061 to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) to conduct collaborative research on ice-shelf dynamics in Antarctica. The key focus is exploring the compressive boundary regions where floating ice shelves interact with obstructions such as islands or grounded ice, which generate resistive forces that impact the flow of inland ice into the ocean. The research will feature on-site...
This $325,213 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a research project to investigate the role of meltwater in governing the geophysical properties and flow of deforming icy systems. The project aims to create new ice flow laws that explicitly account for the impact of meltwater, with the goal of improving models of glacial mass loss and sea level rise. The principal investigator at Columbia University will conduct a...
This $578,675 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research project led by the University of Chicago that will explore the dynamics of ice shelf boundaries in Antarctica. The research will feature on-site glaciological and geophysical field surveys near pressure ridges along the Ross Island coast, an area critical for Antarctic logistics and operations. The project aims to better understand the processes that generate...
The National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded a $356,512 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2026. The grant funding will support the development of a new modeling framework to assess the impact of groundwater processes on the dynamics of ice sheets and their contribution to sea level rise. The research will incorporate novel hydromechanical couplings between ice sheets, subglacial...
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 Division of Polar Programs awarded a $899,856 project grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, on August 15, 2023. The funding supports a collaborative U.S./U.K. research project investigating the direct influence of meltwater on the dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheet. The key activities include a field campaign on Flade Glacier and a continent-wide remote sensing survey to test hypotheses related to how surface meltwater reaching...
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 $377,603 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research by the University of Colorado to investigate the effects of transient and non-Newtonian mantle viscosity on glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) processes and their implications for GPS observations in Antarctica. The project aims to build an accurate and efficient computer model to study the displacement and deformation of the Antarctic crust and mantle in response to...
