- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $126,121 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) for a 3-year collaborative research project to study temporal variations in glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The project aims to leverage existing seismic data to better understand how the physical properties of the Antarctic ice sheet change over time, including seasonal variations in subglacial hydrological systems....
- This $307,540 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research to investigate the role of Arctic clouds in modifying surface temperature and energy absorption. The research aims to clarify how different cloud regimes develop and their impacts on Arctic warming and sea ice extent. The project will combine observations from an Alaska field site with high-resolution regional climate models to characterize cloud formation processes...
- The University of Colorado Boulder was awarded a two-year, $272,225 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to synthesize historical records to constrain and understand great sea ice anomalies. The grant was awarded on November 1, 2021 under the NSF's Polar Programs, which aims to strengthen fundamental polar research conducted in or requiring work in polar regions (CFDA #47.078). Specifically, the University will leverage historical observations and...
- This $377,603 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research by the University of Colorado to investigate the effects of transient and non-Newtonian mantle viscosity on glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) processes and their implications for GPS observations in Antarctica. The project aims to build an accurate and efficient computer model to study the displacement and deformation of the Antarctic crust and mantle in response to...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded Colorado State University a $673,107 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program. The grant will support improved understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions during the Arctic sea ice melt period from May to June 2023. As part of the Swedish-led ARTOFMELT expedition aboard the icebreaker Oden in the Arctic Ocean, the university will conduct observations and modeling to characterize aerosol...
The National Science Foundation awarded $199,704 under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to The Regents of the University of Colorado for the period of July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024. The University of Colorado will lead an international collaboration to characterize atmospheric turbulence processes impacting climate in coastal Antarctica. Researchers will deploy high-altitude balloons equipped with custom turbulence instrumentation, in coordination with radar sensing from the Syowa station in Eastern Antarctica. In-situ and remote observations will quantify the structure and dynamics of small-scale turbulent atmospheric phenomena associated with gravity waves and Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. Measurements of momentum fluxes and turbulence dissipation rates across scales will validate parameterizations in climate models. Global Atmospheric Technologies and Sciences will support balloon deployment activities during a field campaign at Syowa station. The sub-awardee will also contribute to data analysis, intercomparisons with radar data, and archiving per the data management plan. Outcomes aim to improve representation of these processes and their contribution to Antarctic circulation in weather prediction models.
