This $578,675 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research project led by the University of Chicago that will explore the dynamics of ice shelf boundaries in Antarctica. The research will feature on-site glaciological and geophysical field surveys near pressure ridges along the Ross Island coast, an area critical for Antarctic logistics and operations. The project aims to better understand the processes that generate...
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 $368,061 to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) to conduct collaborative research on ice-shelf dynamics in Antarctica. The key focus is exploring the compressive boundary regions where floating ice shelves interact with obstructions such as islands or grounded ice, which generate resistive forces that impact the flow of inland ice into the ocean. The research will feature on-site...
This $354,576 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078 - Polar Programs) will fund a postdoctoral research project to characterize the extent and morphology of seawater/brine aquifers across Antarctic ice shelves. The researcher will utilize approximately 180,000 kilometers of existing airborne ice-penetrating radar data to: (1) map the extent of brine aquifers, (2) estimate the liquid water volume of the aquifers, (3) determine where and...
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 $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...
This $325,213 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a research project to investigate the role of meltwater in governing the geophysical properties and flow of deforming icy systems. The project aims to create new ice flow laws that explicitly account for the impact of meltwater, with the goal of improving models of glacial mass loss and sea level rise. The principal investigator at Columbia University will conduct a...
This $184,798 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Stony Brook University. The purpose of the grant is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of seismic data collected over the past two decades across Antarctica to investigate seasonal and long-term temporal changes in glacial and subglacial structures. Key research activities include...
This $560,876 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will support collaborative research exploring interlinked physical, biological, and geochemical properties of seafloor sediments around Antarctica. Led by three early-career women principal investigators at the Colorado School of Mines, the research team will analyze archived marine sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, titled "Collaborative Research: Site Survey for Subglacial Bedrock Exposure Dating at the Margin of the Wilkes Basin in Northern Victoria Land," provides $116,342 to support basic research activities that are best conducted in Antarctica's polar regions. Funded under the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to expand fundamental polar knowledge and understanding, the award will allow the...
