The National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs awarded a $899,856 project grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, on August 15, 2023. The funding supports a collaborative U.S./U.K. research project investigating the direct influence of meltwater on the dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheet. The key activities include a field campaign on Flade Glacier and a continent-wide remote sensing survey to test hypotheses related to how surface meltwater reaching...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $156,280 Project Grant to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will fund collaborative research between September 2021 and November 2022 linking marine and terrestrial sedimentary evidence to better understand variability in glaciation of the Weddell Embayment and Antarctic Peninsula regions over the Pliocene-Pleistocene time period. As the...
This $560,876 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will support collaborative research exploring interlinked physical, biological, and geochemical properties of seafloor sediments around Antarctica. Led by three early-career women principal investigators at the Colorado School of Mines, the research team will analyze archived marine sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $151,786 three-year Project Grant to Stony Brook University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will support collaborative research linking marine and terrestrial sedimentary evidence to better understand variability in glaciation of the Weddell Embayment and Antarctic Peninsula regions from the Pliocene to Pleistocene epochs. As the awardee, Stony Brook University will leverage its expertise...
The Columbia University was awarded a $516,683 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: SENSITIVITY OF THE WEST ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET TO 2? CELSIUS (SWAIS 2C)." The grant period is from September 15, 2021 through August 31, 2025. Under this award, Columbia University researchers will collaborate to strengthen the understanding of the West...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $176,184 Project Grant to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, doing business as the Colorado School of Mines, to conduct collaborative research on improving projections of future Antarctic sea level rise. The key products and services under this CFDA 47.078 Polar Programs grant include: Integrating paleoglaciological observations from the Holocene period into an advanced ice sheet model (BISICLES) to establish the...
The University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography will receive $363,261 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs. The grant will fund collaborative research titled "Peripheral East Antarctic Ice as a Unique Recorder of Climate Variability During the Last Interglacial" from August 2021 through July 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of polar regions by expanding knowledge of climate...
The University of California Santa Cruz received a three-year, $679,267 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will fund collaborative research to reconstruct East Antarctica's past response to climate change using subglacial precipitates. The research aims to strengthen fundamental understanding of the polar regions by exploring how subglacial minerals and sediments preserved...
