Project Grant 2224681
- 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 four-year, $532,649 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs supports research titled "Collaborative Research: Circum-Antarctic Processes from Archived Marine Sediment Cores." Funded through the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA #47.078), the grant aims to analyze marine sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to examine glacial and oceanographic processes around Antarctica over the past 20,000 years. Led by three early-career women principal...
- This $261,875 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research study on Antarctic ice margin dynamics at the University of Delaware. The research aims to reconstruct a record of changes in the Antarctic ice sheet over time by analyzing ice rafted debris preserved in ocean sediment cores. The project will leverage sediment core data from an Ocean Drilling Program site in the southern Indian Ocean to investigate...
- 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 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $176,184 Project Grant to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, doing business as the Colorado School of Mines, to conduct collaborative research on improving projections of future Antarctic sea level rise. The key products and services under this CFDA 47.078 Polar Programs grant include: Integrating paleoglaciological observations from the Holocene period into an advanced ice sheet model (BISICLES) to establish the...
- 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 federal Project Grant award of $370,228, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), supports collaborative research on the mechanisms of moisture-driven ice growth during the Miocene Climate Optimum, a past period of global warming. The interdisciplinary research team will use advanced Earth system models and geologic data to investigate how increased high-latitude snowfall may have offset Antarctic ice sheet melt during this warmer climate interval....
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $137,045 Project Grant to the University of Tennessee under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to conduct collaborative research investigating microbial degradation of complex organic matter in Antarctic benthic sediments from July 2022 to June 2025. The research aims to combine genomics methods with estimates of enzyme abundance and activity to determine rates of carbon degradation by microbes in...
- 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...
- 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 Arctic sea ice coverage and its biogeochemical impacts over the past 150,000 years. The research team at the University of Massachusetts Boston will analyze ocean sediment cores to reconstruct historical Arctic sea ice extent and ocean conditions during past warm periods, including the Holocene Thermal Maximum and the Last...
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 investigate the influence of glacial and oceanographic processes on ice-proximal marine sedimentation over the past 20,000 years. Specifically, the team aims to confirm if recent sediments reflect instrumental and historical field observations of regional ocean and glacial change in Antarctica, and place modern changes in the context of sediment records deposited hundreds to thousands of years ago. In addition to graduate and undergraduate student involvement, the research is expected to produce educational materials and best practices for working with marine sediment core data through external collaborations.
