The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Purdue University a $216,566 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to reconstruct Holocene glacier lengths and their relationship to past climate changes. The three-year grant, effective July 1, 2023, aims to: 1) constrain glacier length changes over the past 12,000 years at six locations spanning North and South America using radiometric dating techniques, 2) determine glacier length histories at these sites through statistical...
This federal Project Grant award of $355,024 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort to reconstruct the collapse of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet in western Canada since the last ice age. The project aims to determine the timing and rate of the ice sheet's disappearance over the past 10-20 thousand years through geologic dating of rock samples and computer modeling. By improving understanding of past ice sheet changes, the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) provides $145,003.00 to the University of Illinois to conduct collaborative research on glaciers and climate change in the Klamath Mountains of Northern California. The primary objectives are to reconstruct past glacier changes over the last 20,000 years in this region and evaluate the mechanisms driving these climate changes. The study will use a multidisciplinary approach including geomorphic mapping,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $187,835 to The University Corporation, a non-profit organization in Northridge, California, for a collaborative research project titled "Glacier Resilience During the Holocene and Late Pleistocene in Northern California". The project aims to reconstruct past glacier changes in the Trinity Alps region of the Klamath Mountains over the past 20,000 years using methods such as...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $832,098 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on September 15, 2023. The award will fund a 4-year collaborative research project to investigate the impacts of climate change-driven glacier retreat on Andean volcanoes in the inner tropics, including effects on water supply, vegetation, elemental cycling, and local indigenous Kichwa communities. The...
This three-year, $109,644 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences aims to advance understanding of abrupt climate change through reconstructing fluctuations of a late-glacial ice mass in eastern North America. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University of Arizona will lead efforts to determine the role of seasonality in abrupt climate shifts by mapping glacial landforms and dating the pattern and timing of recession for an ice cap...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project on glacier resilience and climate change in the Trinity Alps region of northern California. The $409,202 award to the Humboldt State University Sponsored Programs Foundation, a minority-serving and Hispanic-serving institution, runs from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The key products and services to be delivered through this grant...
This $260,318 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support research to advance knowledge about iceberg size distributions and their climate impacts. The project, titled "CAREER: Constraining Iceberg Size Distributions and Their Climate Impacts in Models," will: Use process models and observational data to quantify present-day calving characteristics of glaciers and ice shelves in Greenland and Antarctica. Integrate...
The University of Washington was awarded a $174,941 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to conduct research from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026. The university will investigate the attribution of glacier retreat globally and in high northern latitudes through applying an established methodology to new global glacier geometry datasets combined with climate reconstructions and numerical simulations over the past...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $295,350 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Wisconsin-Madison for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant aims to advance earth science learning through cross-cultural knowledge exchange. Key activities include place-based experiential learning to recruit and retain geoscience students from diverse backgrounds and foster connection to Earth. The grant also evaluates impacts on teacher...
