This $477,767 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support the "BEACON: The Bellingshausen Sea, A Carbon and Overturning Nexus" research project. The goal is to collect physical and biogeochemical observations to assess the role of the Bellingshausen Sea in ice sheet mass loss and ocean carbon uptake in West Antarctica. The research team will utilize a combination of shipboard measurements, towed underway observations, and...
This Project Grant award of $231,050 from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research to investigate the mechanisms that relate ocean circulation in the open ocean to ice sheet melt in Antarctica. The primary objectives are to: 1) Quantify the pathways of Circumpolar Deep Water from its origin in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to the Antarctic continental slope, and 2) Determine the physical mechanisms that govern the variability of these pathways. The...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $176,184 Project Grant to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, doing business as the Colorado School of Mines, to conduct collaborative research on improving projections of future Antarctic sea level rise. The key products and services under this CFDA 47.078 Polar Programs grant include: Integrating paleoglaciological observations from the Holocene period into an advanced ice sheet model (BISICLES) to establish the...
This $513,997 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The grant funds research to explore the dynamics of boundaries where Antarctic ice shelves flow against obstructions such as islands and grounded ice. This research aims to better understand how these compressive ice shelf boundaries influence the flow of inland ice...
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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $254,790 Project Grant to the Berkeley Geochronology Center to support the project "HIGH-RESOLUTION NESTED ANTARCTIC ICE SHEET MODELING TO RECONCILE MARINE AND TERRESTRIAL GEOLOGIC DATA" from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023. Under the grant, the Berkeley Geochronology Center will conduct high-resolution nested modeling of the Antarctic ice sheet to reconcile marine and terrestrial geologic data. The modeling...
This Project Grant award of $859,378 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research project exploring the dynamics of ice shelf boundaries in Antarctica. The research aims to investigate areas where floating ice shelves compressively flow against obstructions, as these "crash-zones" generate resistive forces that impact ice sheet contributions to sea-level rise. The project will feature on-site glaciological and geophysical...
