Georgia Tech Research Corporation was awarded a $780,880 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to develop computational methods for assimilating observational data into ice sheet models. The award period is from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2028.
Under this award, Georgia Tech Research Corporation will create an open-source software package applying transient ensemble Kalman filtering techniques to integrate glaciological and geological observations with physical ice sheet models. Initial case studies will focus on reconstructing past glacier changes in Greenland and Antarctica to initialize future predictions of change. The capabilities will then be added to a cloud-based ice sheet model with a browser interface to directly assimilate data from an ice sheet observation repository. Additionally, a new high school curriculum on sea level rise driving processes will be developed in collaboration with an Atlanta-area teacher and education researcher.
