- This Project Grant award, valued at $359,487, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Trustees of Princeton University. The funding will be used to develop advanced analytical methods for high-resolution chemical imaging and dating of ancient ice cores from Antarctica's Blue Ice Areas, which contain climate records spanning over 1 million years. Specifically, the project will utilize cryo-cell laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass...
- This $254,639 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will fund research to advance paleoclimate reconstruction techniques using thin or disturbed ice core sections. The University of Washington will develop new instrumentation and data workflows at the National Science Foundation Ice Core Facility to investigate sub-centimeter chemical and physical variations in polar ice cores. Researchers will...
- This Project Grant award of $317,795 from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research by the Colorado School of Mines to disentangle the internal and basal processes that influence ice sheet flow and contribute to sea-level rise. The project combines satellite remote sensing data with ice-penetrating radar observations to partition the contributions of internal and basal friction within the ice sheet. Key efforts include developing open-source...
