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 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 $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 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), supports research to explore the dynamics of boundaries where Antarctic ice shelves flow against obstructions such as islands and grounded ice. The $859,378 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund glaciological and geophysical field surveys, remote sensing, numerical modeling, and theory development to better understand how these compressive ice shelf boundaries...
This $304,007 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in using the Ice Sheet and Sea-level System Model (ISSM) to investigate the disappearance of the Laurentide Ice Sheet over the last 20,000+ years. The research aims to provide quantitative estimates of how the percentage of dynamic mass loss versus surface mass balance evolved over the course of the Laurentide Ice Sheet's...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a collaborative research project on "Ice-Shelf Rumpling and Its Influence on Ice-Shelf Buttressing Processes". The $513,997 award to the University of Colorado will support on-the-ground glaciological and geophysical field surveys in a compression boundary area along the coast of Ross Island in Antarctica. The research aims to better understand the dynamics of ice shelf boundaries...
This $286,206 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research on the dynamics of boundaries where Antarctic ice shelves flow against obstructions such as islands and grounded ice. The research will feature on-site glaciological and geophysical field measurements near pressure ridges along the coast of Ross Island, an area affecting access to major U.S. and New Zealand Antarctic logistical hubs. The field data will be combined with...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $225,001 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, to conduct "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: BACK TO THE FUTURE: ASSIMILATING PALEO THINNING RATES AND GROUNDING LINE POSITIONS TO CONSTRAIN FUTURE ANTARCTIC SEA LEVEL CONTRIBUTIONS" under CFDA 47.078 - Polar Programs. The project aims to merge archived constraints on past ice-sheet behavior from around, above,...
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...
