- The National Science Foundation's Polar Research (CFDA 47.078) program awarded the University of Washington a $327,580 project grant to elucidate the ocean dynamics governing melt at glaciers using Lagrangian floats. The 3-year grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, will develop instruments that drift in three dimensions to study the physical processes causing melting at an Alaskan glacier ending in a fjord. The project aims to determine whether recirculating cells and waves below the sea surface...

INTEGRATING DATA AND MODELING TO QUANTIFY RATES OF GREENLAND ICE SHEET CHANGE, HOLOCENE TO FUTURE." The period of performance for this research is from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2025. The grant was awarded under the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to strengthen understanding of polar...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $205,862 project grant to the University of Washington's Office of Sponsored Programs for collaborative research titled "Glacier-Sediment Interactions During Onset of Tidewater Glacier Retreat." The grant was awarded on July 15, 2021 under the Polar Programs CFDA #47.078 federal grant program to fund basic research best conducted in or related to the polar regions through June 30, 2025. Specifically, the funding...
- This $289,011 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) to the University of Wisconsin - Madison supports research to reconstruct Holocene glacier lengths across North and South America. The research objectives are to: 1) constrain glacier length changes using radiocarbon and beryllium-10 dating, 2) determine glacier length histories through statistical and glaciological modeling, and 3) identify plausible climate scenarios...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a $408,486 study at the University of Washington to conduct a large-scale assessment of iceberg mélange (a mixture of sea ice and icebergs) and its impacts on glacier retreat in Greenland. The 3-year project will utilize satellite data to map the location and timing of mélange formation and breakup around the Greenland ice sheet, and then compare this to measurements of changing glacier...
- This $870,804 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a 5-year research project at the University of Washington focused on improving the representation of small-scale sea ice processes in climate models. The key objectives are to refine the modeling of sea ice deformation and fractures at the floe scale, and establish connections between these small-scale dynamics and larger-scale sea ice behavior. This will involve a...
- This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs ($489,233) supports research into the last deglaciation period in Greenland. Oregon State University is the primary awardee and will work with sub-awardee University of Washington to strengthen understanding of this "mystery interval" through basic scientific exploration best conducted in polar regions, as outlined in the NSF's CFDA #47.078 program. Specifically, the awardees will conduct...
- 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) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award of $497,704 to the University of Washington supports a collaborative research study called the "GREENFJORD-FIBER" project. The goal of this project is to use advanced instrumentation, including distributed temperature sensing (DTS) and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) systems, to better understand how Greenlandic glaciers interact with the ocean, particularly the processes by which icebergs detach...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $462,000.00 to the University of Washington to investigate Arctic sea-ice coverage and its biogeochemical impacts over the past 150,000 years. The research will analyze ocean sediment cores to reconstruct past Arctic sea-ice extent, ocean nutrient levels, and biological activity during key warm periods, including the Holocene Thermal Maximum (~8,000 years ago) and the Last...
