- This $237,804 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support the University of New Mexico's research to study the magmatic plumbing system beneath Mount Erebus, an active volcano in Antarctica. The project will apply deep learning algorithms to analyze decades of seismic data in order to detect, locate, and characterize the full range of seismic activity at Mount Erebus. This comprehensive analysis is intended to better reveal the dynamics of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $359,717 Project Grant to Bowling Green State University to conduct collaborative research on "Heat Source and Flux Distributions in the Western Ross Sea Seafloor." The goal of this 3-year project is to identify and document the distribution of heat sources and heat flux within the seafloor of the southwestern Ross Sea in Antarctica. The research will involve a shipboard survey to collect seafloor heat...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) in the amount of $724,131 supports the "BEACON: The Bellingshausen Sea, a Carbon and Overturning Nexus" research project. The primary awardee is the University of Rhode Island, which will collaborate with sub-awardees on the initiative.

- This Project Grant award of $231,050 from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research to investigate the mechanisms that relate ocean circulation in the open ocean to ice sheet melt in Antarctica. The primary objectives are to: 1) Quantify the pathways of Circumpolar Deep Water from its origin in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to the Antarctic continental slope, and 2) Determine the physical mechanisms that govern the variability of these pathways. The...
- This Project Grant award, worth $905,118, was provided by the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under CFDA Program 47.078 to the University of Rhode Island Research Office. The funding will support a collaborative research project examining how the chemistry of fossil diatoms (a type of plankton) can be used as proxies to reconstruct past changes in ocean nutrients and biological productivity, which are linked to global climate change. The research will involve field...
