The University of Florida was awarded a $198,117 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct research on the role of ice sheet instability in marine carbon and nutrient cycling in the Eurasian Arctic. The three-year award running from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2026 will support research using sedimentary records to investigate links between climate change events, land-sea-ice exchange pathways of carbon and nutrients over the past 160,000 years. The...
This Project Grant award of $649,136 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research by Kent State University to examine the cycling of iron in sediments across the continental shelves of Alaska. The primary goals are to: Determine the distribution and controls on the mobilization of reactive iron within the shelf sediments, and understand the links between iron cycling and other nutrients, toxic trace metals, and economically important metals....
This $248,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a collaborative research project to investigate past Arctic sea ice coverage and its biogeochemical impacts. The research team, led by 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 periods. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $303,968 Project Grant to the University of Connecticut from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025. The grant supports research to investigate the impacts of climate change and sea ice loss on phytoplankton blooms and carbon cycling in the West Antarctic Peninsula region. Key objectives include analyzing shifts in the seasonal timing (phenology) of phytoplankton, evaluating changes in phytoplankton community...
The University of Connecticut was awarded a two-year, $272,619 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct research titled "Carbonate System Dynamics and Biogeochemistry in a Changing Arctic." The grant was awarded on June 1, 2021 with a completion date of May 31, 2023. Under the NSF's Polar Programs, which supports basic research in the polar regions under Assistance Listing Number 47.078, the University will analyze the carbonate system...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's 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 $462,000 award, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028, will fund the analysis of ocean sediment cores to reconstruct historical Arctic sea ice extent and ocean conditions during two key warm periods - the Holocene Thermal Maximum (~8,000 years ago)...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $293,820 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the methane release from the flooding of Arctic permafrost and its impact on the carbon cycle, ocean chemistry, and climate change. The project aims to develop a systematic understanding of the coupled thermal, physical, chemical, and microbial evolution of the Arctic permafrost system in response to warming. It will compile relevant data and...
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...
