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...
This $200,000 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Michigan from September 2022 to August 2025 to investigate the importance of sea-level feedbacks in stabilizing marine-based ice sheets during retreat. The research will combine new late Pleistocene/Holocene relative sea-level data from Scotland with glacial isostatic adjustment models to understand sensitivity of the former Minch Ice Stream to local...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $269,022 to support research aimed at improving ice shelf instability and breakup modeling. Specifically, the University of California, Los Angeles will develop a new component for the continental-scale Ice Sheet and Sea Level System Model to simulate surface meltwater-induced flexure, fracture, and large-scale ice shelf breakup. To achieve...
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 (NSF) awarded a $126,121 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) for a 3-year collaborative research project to study temporal variations in glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The project aims to leverage existing seismic data to better understand how the physical properties of the Antarctic ice sheet change over time, including seasonal variations in subglacial hydrological systems....
This $286,206 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research to explore the dynamics of ice shelf boundaries in Antarctica. The University of Maine System, through its University of Maine Division, will conduct on-site glaciological and geophysical field surveys near pressure ridges along the coast of Ross Island. This research aims to better understand how compressive forces at the boundaries of floating ice shelves influence ice...
This $452,989 National Science Foundation (NSF) award, funded through the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) grant program, supports a collaborative research project to investigate the disappearance of the Laurentide Ice Sheet over the last 20,000+ years. The researchers at Columbia University will use a state-of-the-art ice sheet and sea-level model to simulate the complete retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, which once covered much of North America. This research aims to better understand the...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $132,303 project grant to Columbia University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will support collaborative research to improve understanding of past variability in glaciation in the Weddell Embayment and Antarctic Peninsula regions. Eleven investigators from seven U.S. institutions and Argentine collaborators will study sediment cores from the International Ocean Discovery Program as well...
This $578,675 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support collaborative research by the University of Chicago to investigate the dynamics of compressive boundaries where Antarctic ice shelves flow against obstructions. The research will feature on-site glaciological and geophysical field measurements near pressure ridges along the coast of Ross Island, an area critical for logistical access by the U.S. and New Zealand Antarctic programs....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $312,259 to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to conduct collaborative research on the last interglacial period approximately 130,000 to 115,000 years ago, when temperatures were naturally warmer than today. The project aims to better understand when and how much the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets melted during this period, as well as the climate conditions and ice dynamical...
