This $193,418 National Science Foundation project grant through the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) will fund research at the University of Alaska Fairbanks to map the capillary hydrologic system across Arctic tundra regions and assess its role in freshwater and carbon flows to major rivers. The three-year research project will use graph analysis techniques and deep learning algorithms applied to high-resolution satellite imagery to map ice wedges and the expanding capillary...
This three-year, $294,517 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will support the development of geospatial products mapping the capillary hydrological system across Arctic tundra regions. The University of Massachusetts Amherst will produce a pan-Arctic map of the expanding network of small surface drainage channels that originate freshwater flows to larger Arctic rivers. Researchers will apply graph analysis techniques and deep learning algorithms to very...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded $358,030 under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program to the University of Connecticut from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The award will support mapping of the capillary hydrological system across Arctic tundra to assess its role in generating water flow and lateral carbon flux to large rivers. Researchers will apply graph analysis techniques and deep learning algorithms to pan-Arctic ice-wedge polygon maps and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded $209,177 under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to Southern Oregon University to develop geospatial products mapping the capillary hydrologic system across Arctic tundra landscapes from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. Field work and remote sensing analyses will produce the first pan-Arctic map of the expanding network of small surface channels and quantify their role in generating freshwater and carbon...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to the Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc. under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The award will fund research from September 2022 through August 2025 to study the mobilization, microbial transformation, and uptake of carbon and mercury from thawing permafrost soils into aquatic food webs in Arctic Alaska. Specifically, the grantee will conduct field studies using metagenomics and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs Project Grant, awarded to the Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc., a non-profit organization, provides $343,925 over three years from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027. The project will investigate the drivers and impacts of saltwater intrusion into Arctic coastal ecosystems along Alaska's Beaufort Sea coast. Key research activities include characterizing subsurface temperature, water levels, thaw depth, and porewater salinity...
This $249,863 National Science Foundation project grant through the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) will fund research and educational outreach at Appalachian State University from January 2024 through December 2028. The university will conduct research to develop a process-based understanding of biophysical controls on groundwater availability in permafrost regions and quantify responses to climate change. Models and statistical analysis will generate a conceptual framework...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $142,307 Project Grant to Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc. under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will fund research to study the immediate post-fire carbon balance of boreal peat-wetland mosaics in the Northwest Territories, Canada.
