This $690,185 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs will fund research to better understand the extinction of giant ice age mammals in Alaska around the end of the last ice age. The University of Alaska Fairbanks will lead the collaborative research effort to extract and analyze ancient DNA preserved in frozen ground where ice age mammals like woolly mammoths and steppe bison once lived. Researchers will identify the species the DNA belonged to and date the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $312,259 to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to conduct collaborative research on the last interglacial period approximately 130,000 to 115,000 years ago, when temperatures were naturally warmer than today. The project aims to better understand when and how much the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets melted during this period, as well as the climate conditions and ice dynamical...
The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY) received a $151,258 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs on July 1, 2021 to support research titled "A Fossil Ecosystem Under the Ice: Deciphering the Glacial and Vegetation History of Northwest Greenland Using Long-Lost Camp Century Basal Sediment." The two-year grant will fund collaborative research to decipher the glacial and vegetation history of northwest Greenland...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $293,033 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to examine how plant diversity impacts the resilience of forests to climate change. The award is made through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. The project will analyze field data, forest inventories,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant, awarded on August 15, 2024 for $214,838, will support collaborative research to study how local adaptation and climatic extremes shape continental-scale changes in distribution and abundance under climate change. The project will use transplant experiments and long-term monitoring of two widespread tundra plant species across 29 populations in western North America. The research aims to develop...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $100,956.00 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York to conduct collaborative research investigating southern ocean sea surface temperatures and freshening during the late Pliocene and Pleistocene along the Antarctic margin. The objective is to generate multi-proxy paleoclimate records of sea surface temperature and meltwater during deglacial and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $294,004 Project Grant to the University of California Santa Cruz under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to conduct collaborative research on the extinct megafauna of Alaska from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. The research aims to pinpoint the precise extinction dates of the last mammoth, steppe bison, and tundra lion in Alaska through extracting and analyzing ancient DNA preserved in frozen soil, in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $210,322 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) to conduct collaborative research on how local adaptation and climatic extremes will shape continental-scale changes in the distribution and abundance of two common tundra plant species under climate change. The award will fund long-term monitoring of wild populations of Silene acaulis...
This $112,243 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project between the University of California - Merced and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The project aims to reconstruct and analyze the dynamics of historical and paleo-ecosystems, with a focus on understanding how marine communities have responded to climate change and resource exploitation over time, particularly...
This three-year, $1.2 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences aims to test the role of seasonality in abrupt climate change through reconstructing fluctuations of a late-glacial ice mass in eastern North America. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the University of Maine will collaborate with researchers to determine the signature of summer warming-driven ice retreat...
