This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $150,330 supports planning activities to engage Indigenous knowledge holders and create an innovative process to inform the goals of the Fourth International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP IV). The project, conducted by Dartmouth College, aims to develop more Indigenous-led strategies for researchers, universities, funders, and partner organizations to ethically and equitably integrate Indigenous knowledge into...
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 $204,278 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support research by the University of Chicago to investigate how Arctic sea ice attenuation affects ocean swell, microseisms, and the potential to use seismology as a method for observing sea ice conditions. The key activities include: Analyzing seismic data from stations along the northern coasts of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland to detect seasonal and annual changes in microseisms as a...
This $879,520 National Science Foundation award through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds a collaborative research project examining the implications of rapid Arctic change for fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. Led by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, the project builds a network to develop a climate vulnerability assessment and predictive models evaluating how changes in the Arctic cryosphere and ocean circulation affect ecosystem and fishery...
This $194,921 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund collaborative research to constrain and understand regional modes of variability in the Atlantic Arctic over the next two years. The overarching goal is to quantitatively study climate patterns and their long-term changes in the Atlantic Arctic and sub-Arctic regions using a variety of data sources, including meteorological measurements, historical observations, and climate...
This Project Grant award of $335,701 from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research by the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to study the oceanographic drivers of nearshore and landfast sea ice seasonal transitions in the Arctic. The key objectives are to understand the coupled evolution of the ocean wave field and nearshore ice, as well as how ocean currents, waves, and sea level changes contribute to the destabilization and breakup of landfast ice....
This $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports planning activities for a future study on the emerging maritime industry of undersea critical mineral mining in the Arctic region. The planning project will assess the feasibility of launching a longitudinal, interdisciplinary research study to investigate the wider dimensions, hazards, risks, benefits, and national security implications of this new Arctic industry as the polar...
This $436,468 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a research initiative by Brown University to develop future scenarios for Arctic maritime accessibility. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Using numerical weather prediction and machine learning techniques to model the probability of hazardous icing conditions and dangerous sea ice convergence along Arctic maritime shipping routes. 2)...
This $399,710 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports research examining the impacts of rapid Arctic change on fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. The Trustees of Columbia University will lead an interdisciplinary team to develop coupled atmosphere-ice-ocean-ecosystem models and bio-economic models to evaluate how changes in the Arctic cryosphere and ocean circulation...
This $237,278 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports U.S. researchers participating in a multinational collaborative research project on the topic of biocultural heritage in Arctic cities and its potential role in climate adaptation. The project focuses on investigating the complex interactions between natural and social systems, and the ability of Arctic urban communities to adapt to climate-induced changes. The research team will...
