This $204,782 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to determine when and how quickly the Cordilleran Ice Sheet in western Canada disappeared since the end of the last ice age. The project will create a 3-D reconstruction of the ice sheet's collapse by collecting and dating rock samples across the region. This data will be used in computer models to simulate the ice sheet's past...
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,...
This Project Grant award of $312,259, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to better understand how ice sheets responded to past periods of natural climate warming, in order to improve predictions of future ice sheet changes. Key products and services to be delivered under this 5-year grant include:
A new comprehensive database of paleoclimate data relevant to climate-ice sheet interactions, such as sea surface temperature, iceberg discharge,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $505,558 project grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to Oregon State University. The 3-year grant, which began on October 1, 2023, will support a collaborative research project to elucidate the ocean dynamics governing melt at glaciers using Lagrangian floats. The research aims to determine the physical processes causing melting at an Alaskan glacier that ends in a fjord, focusing on whether recirculating cells and waves below the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant, awarded in the amount of $349,754 on August 15, 2024, supports a collaborative research project led by Montana State University to study the geomorphic controls on sediment age, ice preservation, and carbon storage in Arctic permafrost systems. The research aims to quantify how century to millennial-scale hillslope geomorphic processes influence the storage of ice and carbon in permafrost soils, with a focus on...
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 $560,876 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will support collaborative research exploring interlinked physical, biological, and geochemical properties of seafloor sediments around Antarctica. Led by three early-career women principal investigators at the Colorado School of Mines, the research team will analyze archived marine sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to...
This $199,879 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of Alaska Southeast to evaluate how changing glaciers influence the movement of freshwater, nutrients, and minerals from coastal watersheds in Southeast Alaska to nearshore waters in the Gulf of Alaska. Under the award, set to run from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024, project personnel will sample rivers with glaciers throughout the year and intensely...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $131,652.00 to Appalachian State University to conduct collaborative research on frontal ablation processes on lake-terminating glaciers and their role in glacier change. The primary objectives are to quantify the amount of additional ice lost through iceberg production and underwater melt on three large glaciers draining the Juneau Icefield that end in lakes, and to develop computer models...
