This $248,140 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs will fund research into the role of ice sheet instability in marine carbon and nutrient cycling in the Eurasian Arctic. Over three years, Kent State University researchers will investigate links between past climate change events and land-sea-ice exchange pathways of carbon and nutrients using sedimentary records from the Yermak Plateau and Barents Sea slope. The project will determine how glacial retreat and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $133,492 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF), through its Division of Sponsored Research, to conduct collaborative research on quantifying the effect of moraine building on the stability of Greenland tidewater glaciers. The project aims to collect observations from the fronts of three Greenland outlet glaciers to determine if the deposition of sediment at the ice-ocean boundary is responsible for 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...
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....
This federal Project Grant award of $191,150 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research by Florida State University (FSU) to investigate the role of benthic iron fluxes in fertilizing primary productivity in the Amundsen Sea, near the fastest melting Antarctic glaciers. The key objectives are to analyze sediment pore water iron content and speciation, and calculate iron fluxes across the sediment-water interface, to determine if benthic iron...
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...
The Utah State University was awarded a two-year, $132,766 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will support collaborative 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 research aims to strengthen understanding of the polar regions by using sediment...
The University of Washington was awarded a two-year, $125,995 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct research titled "A Fossil Ecosystem Under the Ice: Deciphering the Glacial and Vegetation History of Northwest Greenland Using Long-Lost Camp Century Basal Sediment."
