- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $295,705 to Appalachian State University from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The funding supports collaborative research titled "Zero-Order to First-Order: Hydrologic Drivers of Surface-Subsurface Storage Dynamics in Thawing Permafrost Landscapes." The research aims to improve understanding of hydrologic processes in areas with thawing permafrost. Specifically, the university...
- This three-year, $302,382 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs will support the Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc. in mapping the capillary hydrological system across Arctic tundra regions. As permafrost thaws due to climate change, dense networks of small surface drainage channels are forming and expanding. These "capillaries" represent the origin of water flowing into large Arctic rivers and influence habitat, infrastructure hazards, and...
- 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...
- 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 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) for a collaborative research project titled "A Unified Pore Water Pressure-Based Paradigm for Quantifying Unfrozen Water in Frozen Soil." The $409,306 grant, awarded on January 1, 2025, seeks to develop a new framework for quantifying unfrozen soil water content in freezing environments, which is critical for...
- This five-year, $1.39 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities will fund research towards developing climate-resilient water infrastructure in Alaska Native communities. Funded under the Geosciences program, which supports basic research in the earth sciences, this collaborative project will address challenges at the intersection of social, engineered, and natural systems impacting water security. A multidisciplinary team from the University...
- This federal Project Grant award of $456,314.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort to develop a new paradigm for quantifying unfrozen soil water content in freezing environments. The project aims to improve the fundamental understanding of soil water freezing and thawing phenomena, which will advance the ability to predict and model soil water freeze and thaw behavior. Key outcomes will include clarification of...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $349,754 to Montana State University (MSU) to quantify how century to millennial-scale hillslope geomorphic processes influence the storage of ice and carbon in Arctic permafrost soils. The research aims to shed light on fundamental geological processes that control the resilience and vulnerability of ground-ice and carbon in permafrost landscapes, which is critical for understanding future...
- This Project Grant award of $200,515.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) is funding research to develop a new modeling framework to assess the impact of groundwater processes on ice sheet dynamics and sea level rise. The research, led by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), aims to test hypotheses regarding how groundwater flow may accelerate or decelerate ice mass loss from ice sheets in response to climate change. The modeling will...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $473,772 to the University of Wyoming to conduct research on the impacts of warming saline permafrost in the Arctic. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year project include: Studying the spatial distribution and properties of saline permafrost in the region. Assessing how ice wedge formation and thaw in the Holocene have influenced the depth and distribution of...
