Project Grant 2324766
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $492,989 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, operating through its Office of Contracts and Grants, to develop QGreenland-Net - a cloud-based geospatial data infrastructure for Greenland-focused research and education. This 3-year grant will build capacity for open data sharing, shared data services, and consistent standards across U.S., Greenland, and Denmark-based data producers...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $2.8 million project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University for the period of October 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026. The project aims to map changes in Greenland resulting from ice thinning and explore emerging landslide and hazard risks. Researchers will integrate local observations from Greenlandic communities with remote sensing data to understand how hazards evolve over time. Advanced...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $963,676 Project Grant to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NNA RESEARCH: GLOBAL CHANGES, LOCAL IMPACTS: STUDY OF GLACIAL FJORDS, ECOSYSTEMS AND COMMUNITIES IN GREENLAND" from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2026. The grant will fund research studying glacial fjords, ecosystems and...
- This $700,962 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a collaborative research study on how meltwater from surface channels affects the subglacial drainage system beneath Greenland's glaciers. The investigators will conduct a field study using seismic sensors, radar, and ice movement measurements to track the evolution of underground drainage cavities and how their connectivity impacts seasonal changes in ice velocity. The research builds...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award of $497,704 to the University of Washington supports a collaborative research study called the "GREENFJORD-FIBER" project. The goal of this project is to use advanced instrumentation, including distributed temperature sensing (DTS) and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) systems, to better understand how Greenlandic glaciers interact with the ocean, particularly the processes by which icebergs detach...
- This five-year, $565,180 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on the impacts of global changes on glacial fjords, ecosystems, and communities in Greenland. The awardee, Bigelow Laboratory For Ocean Sciences, will partner with Pinngortitaleriffik / Gronlands Naturinstitut to study glacial fjords, ecosystems, and local communities in Greenland through 2026. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado received a $176,024 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on January 1, 2022 to support basic research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research, titled "NNA RESEARCH: THE GREENLAND HAZARDS PROJECT," will strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes through studies of hazards in Greenland. The University will conduct the research over the one-year period ending December 31, 2022 at its...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $505,036 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Trustees of Dartmouth College to improve predictions of sea level rise driven by ice mass loss from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The project aims to combine physical understanding of ice dynamics with artificial intelligence techniques applied to satellite imagery datasets, in order to develop physics-informed models of basal sliding and ice calving processes. This...
- The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) received a three-year, $363,105 project grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs to conduct collaborative research on atmospheric controls of moisture extremes over Greenland. The NSF's Polar Programs grant program (CFDA 47.078) aims to expand fundamental polar region knowledge and understanding through support of basic research best or only conducted in polar areas. Under this award, UCSB will analyze...
- 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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $306,938 Project Grant under the CFDA Program "Computer and Information Science and Engineering" to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop QGREENLAND-NET. This cloud-based geospatial data infrastructure will improve the usability and accessibility of Greenland-focused research data for both academic and decision-making purposes. Key objectives include enabling open data sharing, shared data services, and consistent data standards across collaborators in the U.S., Greenland, and Denmark. QGREENLAND-NET will integrate geospatial data from disparate sources, making it easier for researchers and managers to analyze changes in the Greenlandic Arctic. The project will also develop educational resources to support teaching of polar science principles using geospatial data. This award runs from February 1, 2024 to January 31, 2027.
