- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $208,794 supported research by the University of Maryland, College Park to quantify and characterize the origin of Arctic Ocean methane from the Alaska continental shelf to the North Pole. As part of the international Synoptic Arctic Survey, the research team measured dissolved methane concentrations and stable isotopologues in water columns along a transect from northern Alaska to the North Pole. They investigated sources and processes...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $532,387 Project Grant to Oregon State University to investigate past atmospheric methane variability using stable isotopes in Antarctic ice cores. The research project aims to develop new laboratory methods for measuring hydrogen isotopes in methane and use the chemical composition of methane to understand changes in atmospheric methane levels during past climate transitions, including periods when the climate was as...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The University of Texas at Austin received a $743,180 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop advanced computational tools for quantifying carbon dynamics in thawing Arctic permafrost. The award, effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028, supports an interdisciplinary research initiative combining geoscience and artificial intelligence expertise to create...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $289,629 will fund research on the hydrologic connection between permafrost plateaus and thaw bogs and its impact on methane emissions in Alaska. The award was made on February 15, 2022 under the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to investigate how water and nutrient flows from higher elevation permafrost plateaus into adjacent lower elevation wetlands may influence the amount of methane emitted from the wetlands. Specifically, the University of...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs grant, awarded under CFDA 47.078, supports a research project at the University of New Mexico (UNM) to study the physical and chemical drivers of carbon cycling in Arctic landscapes. The $149,288 award will fund one postdoctoral researcher and analysis of field samples collected from the Canning River in Alaska. The project aims to develop a model simulating carbon flow across the Arctic landscape, including the transformation of...
- 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 and...
- This Project Grant award of $325,875.00 from the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to assess the contribution of permafrost-derived greenhouse gases to global warming since the last glacial maximum. The project combines data on permafrost thaw records, paleoclimate evidence, and ice core-based greenhouse gas concentrations to better understand the effects of warming and permafrost instability on...
- This $248,140 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs will fund research into the role of ice sheet instability in marine carbon and nutrient cycling in the Eurasian Arctic. Over three years, Kent State University researchers will investigate links between past climate change events and land-sea-ice exchange pathways of carbon and nutrients using sedimentary records from the Yermak Plateau and Barents Sea slope. The project will determine how glacial retreat and...
