The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $380,718 project grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to study the drivers and impacts of saltwater intrusion along Arctic coastlines. The 3-year grant, awarded on April 1, 2024, will support an interdisciplinary field and laboratory study along the Beaufort Sea coast of Alaska. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize subsurface temperature, water level, thaw depth, and porewater salinity dynamics, 2) measure...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $434,096 Project Grant to the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) for the period of April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027. The grant, under the Polar Programs CFDA 47.078, will fund a collaborative research project to investigate the drivers and impacts of saltwater intrusion along the Arctic coastlines of Alaska's Beaufort Sea. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize subsurface temperature, water level, thaw depth, and...
This $1,039,772 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research by the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to study the impacts of warming saline permafrost in the Arctic. The key research objectives are to: 1) Analyze the spatial distribution and properties of saline permafrost, 2) Assess how ice wedge formation and thaw have influenced near-surface saline permafrost, and 3) Determine the response of warming saline permafrost...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to the Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc. under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The award will fund research from September 2022 through August 2025 to study the mobilization, microbial transformation, and uptake of carbon and mercury from thawing permafrost soils into aquatic food webs in Arctic Alaska.
Specifically, the grantee will conduct field studies using metagenomics...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $473,772 to the University of Wyoming to conduct research on the impacts of warming saline permafrost in the Arctic. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year project include:
Studying the spatial distribution and properties of saline permafrost in the region.
Assessing how ice wedge formation and thaw in the Holocene have influenced the depth and distribution of...
This three-year, $302,382 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs will support the Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc. in mapping the capillary hydrological system across Arctic tundra regions. As permafrost thaws due to climate change, dense networks of small surface drainage channels are forming and expanding. These "capillaries" represent the origin of water flowing into large Arctic rivers and influence habitat, infrastructure hazards, and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $144,506 project grant to the Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc. for collaborative research titled "Influences of Amplified Arctic Warming on Extreme Weather in Midlatitudes." The three-year award runs from November 1, 2021 to October 31, 2024.
Under the grant, Woodwell Climate Research Center will conduct basic research to strengthen understanding of how amplified Arctic warming impacts extreme weather patterns...
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 $335,701 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), will support research to study how the ocean affects nearshore and landfast sea ice, particularly during the seasonal breakup and freeze-up periods in the Arctic. The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year award, which runs from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2027, include:
Measuring ocean temperature, waves, and currents using buoys, ships, and...
This $321,184 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs Project Grant will support research into carbon levels in the Arctic Ocean through the "Carbon Levels at the Arctic Salinity-Stratified Sea Ice Edge" project. The University of Hawaii will measure key carbon parameters in the marginal ice zone of the Beaufort Sea in collaboration with scientists funded through the NASA Physical Oceanography Program's "Salinity and Stratification at the Sea Ice Edge"...
