This three-year, $305,901 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support research investigating the influence of subglacial discharge from Greenland fjords on ocean circulation and meltwater fate in the Labrador Sea. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will model subglacial meltwater plume transport pathways and quantify effects on winter convection, comparing subsurface outflow to surface inputs....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $1,822,863 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation to conduct collaborative research on measuring 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 understand its role in the Arctic freshwater budget. Key activities include deploying an array of six moorings to collect...
This $397,492 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to better understand how the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets responded to past climate changes during the Last Interglacial period approximately 130,000-115,000 years ago. The research aims to reconstruct the timing and magnitude of past ice sheet melting events using a combination of fieldwork, laboratory analyses, and climate/ice sheet modeling. The...
This five-year, $565,180 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on the impacts of global changes on glacial fjords, ecosystems, and communities in Greenland. The awardee, Bigelow Laboratory For Ocean Sciences, will partner with Pinngortitaleriffik / Gronlands Naturinstitut to study glacial fjords, ecosystems, and local communities in Greenland through 2026. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge...
This $142,542 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research study 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, compare them to the East Greenland Current further offshore, and assess the long-term variability of the coastal current and its role in the Arctic freshwater budget. The research...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $449,645 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The funding will support development of a numerical model to simulate the pathways of glacial meltwater introduced into the North Atlantic Ocean from the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the last ice age. Specifically, the coupled ocean circulation-sea ice model will be configured and tested to...
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...
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'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...
This $160,021 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078 Polar Programs) to Rutgers, The State University's Research Financial Services Division. The funding will support a collaborative research project called "GREENFJORD-FIBER, Observing the Ice-Ocean Interface with Exceptional Resolution" that aims to better understand how Greenlandic glaciers flowing into the ocean change between winter and summer. The project will...
