The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $245,046 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to develop and field test community-driven ice penetrating radar systems for observing complex ice sheet structure and flow. Specifically, the award will support developing a snowmobile-towed radar and unmanned aerial vehicle radar system based on shared software and post-processing tools. Both systems are designed to...
This $325,213 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York will investigate the role of meltwater in governing the geophysical properties of deforming icy systems. The project aims to create new flow laws that explicitly incorporate the effects of meltwater on ice flow, which is a key factor in modeling glacial mass loss and sea level rise. The research will employ...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $176,184 Project Grant to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, doing business as the Colorado School of Mines, to conduct collaborative research on improving projections of future Antarctic sea level rise. The key products and services under this CFDA 47.078 Polar Programs grant include: Integrating paleoglaciological observations from the Holocene period into an advanced ice sheet model (BISICLES) to establish the...
This Project Grant award, valued at $288,448, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to Oregon State University (OSU) to develop and validate multiscale numerical models that link the micromechanics of sea ice to its macroscopic behavior under various environmental conditions. The key objectives of this research are to: (i) use high-resolution X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging to analyze the internal structure of sea ice and identify...
The Colorado School of Mines received a $317,470 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs on August 15, 2021 to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: INVESTIGATING FOUR DECADES OF ROSS ICE SHELF SUBSURFACE CHANGE WITH HISTORICAL AND MODERN RADAR SOUNDING DATA." The research is being conducted under the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to strengthen understanding of the polar regions through expansion of fundamental knowledge....
This $191,868 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to understand surface-to-bed meltwater pathways across the Greenland Ice Sheet. Funded through the Polar Programs grant program (CFDA 47.078), the award will utilize machine learning and physics-based models to map cracks and draining lakes on the ice sheet from satellite imagery. Researchers at the University of Kansas Center for Research will develop open-source artificial intelligence codes to automatically detect ice...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $368,061 to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU), doing business as the University of Colorado, to explore the dynamics of boundaries where Antarctic ice shelves flow against obstructions such as islands and grounded ice. The research aims to understand how these compressive ice shelf boundaries generate forces that impede the flow of inland ice into the ocean, which is...
This $578,675 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support collaborative research by the University of Chicago to investigate the dynamics of compressive boundaries where Antarctic ice shelves flow against obstructions. The research will feature on-site glaciological and geophysical field measurements near pressure ridges along the coast of Ross Island, an area critical for logistical access by the U.S. and New Zealand Antarctic programs....
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, the...
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...
