This $776,963 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will fund collaborative research analyzing marine sediment cores from around Antarctica. Led by three early-career women principal investigators at the University of Virginia, the project team will leverage archived sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to examine physical, biological, and geochemical properties indicating past...
This $560,876 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will support collaborative research exploring interlinked physical, biological, and geochemical properties of seafloor sediments around Antarctica. Led by three early-career women principal investigators at the Colorado School of Mines, the research team will analyze archived marine sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs Project Grant award provides $300,642 to Oregon State University to trace polar sediments using short-lived radioisotopes in 75 years of Arctic and Antarctic sediment cores. The goal is to systematically study Arctic and Antarctic sediment accretion rates in order to improve the tools used to track changes in sedimentation, thereby helping coastal managers and decision-makers understand how climate change is impacting polar...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $218,256 Project Grant to Texas A&M University to support collaborative research linking marine and terrestrial sedimentary evidence for variability in glaciation of the Weddell Embayment and Antarctic Peninsula regions. The three-year award beginning September 1, 2021 will fund analysis of sediment cores to strengthen understanding of Pliocene-Pleistocene climate dynamics in Antarctica under the NSF's Polar Programs...
This $248,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a collaborative research project to investigate past Arctic sea ice coverage and its impacts on marine ecosystems. The research team at the University of Massachusetts Boston will analyze ocean sediment cores to reconstruct Arctic sea ice extent and ocean conditions over the past 150,000 years, focusing on the Holocene Thermal Maximum and Last Interglacial warm periods....
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $132,303 project grant to Columbia University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will support collaborative research to improve understanding of past variability in glaciation in the Weddell Embayment and Antarctic Peninsula regions. Eleven investigators from seven U.S. institutions and Argentine collaborators will study sediment cores from the International Ocean Discovery Program as well...
The University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography will receive $363,261 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs. The grant will fund collaborative research titled "Peripheral East Antarctic Ice as a Unique Recorder of Climate Variability During the Last Interglacial" from August 2021 through July 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of polar regions by expanding knowledge of climate...
This Project Grant award of $261,875 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to study Antarctic ice margin dynamics by analyzing ice-rafted debris in sediment cores from the Southern Indian Ocean. The research team, led by the University of Delaware, will use the sediment records to reconstruct changes in Antarctic glacial activity over time, particularly focused on understanding how variations in Earth's orbital...
This $109,690 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Research (CFDA 47.078) program will support a collaborative research project to obtain new ice cores from Antarctica and analyze them to improve understanding of galactic cosmic ray flux and the Holocene methane budget. The project will use measurements of in-situ cosmogenic carbon-14 in the ice cores to test the assumption of a constant galactic cosmic ray flux over time, which is crucial for studies of past solar...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, titled "Collaborative Research: Site Survey for Subglacial Bedrock Exposure Dating at the Margin of the Wilkes Basin in Northern Victoria Land," provides $116,342 to support basic research activities that are best conducted in Antarctica's polar regions. Funded under the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to expand fundamental polar knowledge and understanding, the award will allow the...
