The University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography received a $124,328 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to conduct collaborative research on constraining the role of the Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) on tracer exchange at the Antarctic margin. This 3-year project will utilize a hierarchy of observationally-constrained and validated physical and biogeochemical Southern Ocean models to investigate...
The National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs awarded a $899,856 project grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, on August 15, 2023. The funding supports a collaborative U.S./U.K. research project investigating the direct influence of meltwater on the dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheet. The key activities include a field campaign on Flade Glacier and a continent-wide remote sensing survey to test hypotheses related to how surface meltwater reaching...
This $126,121 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports collaborative research to analyze temporal variations in the glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The research aims to improve understanding of how continental-scale ice sheets respond to climate change, which is critical for predicting future sea level rise. Key activities include: Leveraging existing seismic data to examine changes over time in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $231,050 to the University of Washington to investigate the remote pathways of ocean heat transport toward the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The research aims to characterize the physical mechanisms that govern the variability of circumpolar deep water (CDW) currents from the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to the Antarctic continental slope, as this offshore ocean heat transport is a key driver of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $299,055 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) to investigate how variations in Earth's orbital patterns influence surface melting and the climate of Antarctica. The researchers will identify and date past periods of ice melting on the Antarctic continent using uranium-thorium dating of pedogenic carbonates deposited by meltwater, with the goal of correlating...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $225,001 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, to conduct "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: BACK TO THE FUTURE: ASSIMILATING PALEO THINNING RATES AND GROUNDING LINE POSITIONS TO CONSTRAIN FUTURE ANTARCTIC SEA LEVEL CONTRIBUTIONS" under CFDA 47.078 - Polar Programs. The project aims to merge archived constraints on past ice-sheet behavior from around, above,...
The University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography will receive $363,261 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs. The grant will fund collaborative research titled "Peripheral East Antarctic Ice as a Unique Recorder of Climate Variability During the Last Interglacial" from August 2021 through July 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of polar regions by expanding knowledge of climate...
This $392,618 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support collaborative research to investigate the combined impact of atmospheric rivers and foehn warming on surface warming and melting over West Antarctica. The research will utilize high-resolution numerical weather prediction simulations and existing satellite/ground observations to examine the physical mechanisms behind these extreme weather events and their contribution to ice...
The University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography received a $1,247,478 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) grant program. This 4-year award funds a collaborative research project titled "Antarctic Low Cloud Interaction with Natural Aerosol (ALCINA)". The project will collect comprehensive field data on aerosol properties and cloud optical characteristics at Palmer...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $356,436 Project Grant to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to study the temperature history of Antarctica during the last ice age. The project aims to calibrate the water isotope thermometer in East Antarctica using an improved gas thermometer based on nitrogen and argon isotopes from air bubbles in ice cores. This will help predict the magnitude of future warming in...
