The Regents of the University of Colorado received a $176,024 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on January 1, 2022 to support basic research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research, titled "NNA RESEARCH: THE GREENLAND HAZARDS PROJECT," will strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes through studies of hazards in Greenland. The University will conduct the research over the one-year period ending December 31, 2022 at its...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $492,989 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, operating through its Office of Contracts and Grants, to develop QGreenland-Net - a cloud-based geospatial data infrastructure for Greenland-focused research and education. This 3-year grant will build capacity for open data sharing, shared data services, and consistent standards across U.S., Greenland, and Denmark-based data producers...
This five-year, $565,180 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on the impacts of global changes on glacial fjords, ecosystems, and communities in Greenland. The awardee, Bigelow Laboratory For Ocean Sciences, will partner with Pinngortitaleriffik / Gronlands Naturinstitut to study glacial fjords, ecosystems, and local communities in Greenland through 2026. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge...
This $397,492 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to study the melting of ice sheets during the last interglacial period approximately 130,000 to 115,000 years ago. The project, led by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, aims to better understand when and how much the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets melted, as well as the climate conditions and ice dynamics that drove their...
This $411,096 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University). The project aims to utilize machine learning and physics-based models to map and understand how surface meltwater on the Greenland ice sheet reaches the bedrock, which can impact ice sheet dynamics and response to climate change. Key products and services to be delivered include: Development of open-source deep...

Trustees of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Polar Programs grant program (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research effort to investigate how physical oceanographic processes, such as water circulation and mixing, shape the productivity of fjord ecosystems in Greenland. The $1,038,209 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund field observations, computer modeling, and analysis to elucidate the linkages between physical transport...
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...

The National Science Foundation awarded a $2.8 million project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University for the period of October 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026. The project aims to map changes in Greenland resulting from ice thinning and explore emerging landslide and hazard risks. Researchers will integrate local observations from Greenlandic communities with remote sensing data to understand how hazards evolve over time. Advanced technologies including satellite radar and optical imagery, drone surveys, and machine learning will be applied at multiple scales to identify patterns of change. A subaward of $500,000 was provided to the University of Colorado to support related research efforts. This project supports the Geosciences program goal of expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research and has the potential to inform resilience and adaptation efforts in Greenland.
