Project Grant 2304836
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $102,788 Project Grant under the Polar Research (NSPR) program (CFDA 47.078) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, Office of Sponsored Projects Administration. The award will fund a collaborative research project to obtain ice cores from Dome C in Antarctica and analyze them to improve understanding of the history of cosmic rays reaching the solar system and the global methane budget over the past 7,000 years. The project aims to test...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $359,487, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Trustees of Princeton University. The funding will be used to develop advanced analytical methods for high-resolution chemical imaging and dating of ancient ice cores from Antarctica's Blue Ice Areas, which contain climate records spanning over 1 million years. Specifically, the project will utilize cryo-cell laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $225,001 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, to conduct "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: BACK TO THE FUTURE: ASSIMILATING PALEO THINNING RATES AND GROUNDING LINE POSITIONS TO CONSTRAIN FUTURE ANTARCTIC SEA LEVEL CONTRIBUTIONS" under CFDA 47.078 - Polar Programs. The project aims to merge archived constraints on past ice-sheet behavior from around, above,...
- 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....
- 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 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...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded $287,230 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York at Binghamton effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2028. This collaborative research project investigates moisture-driven mechanisms of Antarctic ice sheet growth during the Miocene Climate Optimum (approximately 17 to 14.8 million years ago). The primary deliverables include advanced climate and ice...
- The Colorado School of Mines received a $317,470 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs on August 15, 2021 to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: INVESTIGATING FOUR DECADES OF ROSS ICE SHELF SUBSURFACE CHANGE WITH HISTORICAL AND MODERN RADAR SOUNDING DATA." The research is being conducted under the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to strengthen understanding of the polar regions through expansion of fundamental knowledge....
- This two-year, $249,851 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs supports research to advance paleoclimate reconstruction techniques for thin or disturbed ice core sections. The University of Maine will collaborate with other institutions to test next generation measurement methods for resolving annual layers at sub-centimeter scales in ice cores. Researchers will integrate precisely co-registered electrical conductivity, hyperspectral imaging, laser ablation...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $162,982 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, through the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, to conduct a collaborative US-Korean research project titled "RAPID: US-KOREAN COLLABORATION TO BUILD A ROSS-AMUNDSEN ICE CORE ARRAY (RAICA) ALONG THE WEST ANTARCTIC COASTLINE". The purpose of this grant is to retrieve a 150-meter ice core from an ice rise along the rapidly changing West Antarctic coastline, as well as collect a series of 10-15 meter ice cores, in order to characterize climate variability, extremes, and trends in this critical region over recent decades and centuries. This research will expand understanding of the ice-ocean-atmosphere interactions driving coastal changes, and provide valuable data to validate satellite observations, climate models, and reanalysis datasets. The project also includes training for a graduate student and forms a new collaboration between a US researcher and the South Korean Polar Research Institute, who will provide the primary logistics support using their research vessel.
