The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded $684,964 under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to Stanford University. The five-year project grant funding will support research and development of customized numerical models to understand the possibility and implications of an internal shear band forming in ice flowing over rough topography. Specifically, the principal investigator will develop a suite of open-source tools to test the hypothesis...
This Project Grant award of $317,795 from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research by the Colorado School of Mines to disentangle the internal and basal processes that influence ice sheet flow and contribute to sea-level rise. The project combines satellite remote sensing data with ice-penetrating radar observations to partition the contributions of internal and basal friction within the ice sheet. Key efforts include developing open-source...
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...
The Leland Stanford Junior University was awarded a $163,981 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will fund collaborative research to investigate four decades of subsurface change beneath the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica using historical and modern radar sounding data. The research aims to strengthen fundamental understanding of the polar regions by expanding knowledge of ice shelf...
The University of Wyoming received a $297,116 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs on November 1, 2021 for collaborative research under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The research aims to establish an Arctic observing network to monitor the transformation of the Greenland ice sheet's firn layer through October 31, 2026. The Polar Programs grant program supports basic research best conducted in or about the polar regions to...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $186,029 supports the development of tools to improve access and reuse of polar ice penetrating radar data. Funded under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program, the University of Washington will create a plugin for the open-source mapping software QGIS to enable discovery, download, and visualization of georeferenced radar images. The tool will integrate a data layer showing known radar survey locations, color-coded by...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded Western Washington University a $236,854 Project Grant under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to develop an integrated unmanned aerial system capable of autonomously retrieving impurity-laden Arctic sea ice samples and collecting hyperspectral surface property data. The award period is from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2024. Through this funding, the University will transform field sampling of snow and ice...
