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 awarded by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $380,593 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation to conduct research on the Bellingshausen Sea and its role in Antarctic ice sheet mass loss and ocean carbon uptake. The project, titled "BEACON: The Bellingshausen Sea, A Carbon and Overturning Nexus," aims to collect physical and biogeochemical observations to assess the Bellingshausen Sea's influence on large-scale heat,...
The National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded a $906,025 Project Grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara to conduct the "BEACON: The Bellingshausen Sea, A Carbon and Overturning Nexus" research project. The award, spanning January 2025 to December 2027, will collect physical and biogeochemical observations to assess the Bellingshausen Sea's role in ice sheet mass loss, nutrient supply, seasonal productivity, and oceanic carbon dioxide...
The National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs awarded a $1,061,794 Project Grant under CFDA Program 47.078 Polar Programs to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for the "BEACON: The Bellingshausen Sea, A Carbon and Overturning Nexus" project. The grant will fund a multidisciplinary research effort to collect physical and biogeochemical observations in the Bellingshausen Sea region near Antarctica in order to assess its role in ice sheet mass loss, ocean...
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...
This Project Grant award of $703,638, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program, aims to advance the understanding of the dynamic interaction between mantle flow, crustal deformation, and topography beneath Antarctica. The research objectives include addressing the evolution and uplift of the Marie Byrd Land hotspot, investigating the interplay of mantle processes and tectonic forces during rift evolution in the West...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), supports research to explore the dynamics of boundaries where Antarctic ice shelves flow against obstructions such as islands and grounded ice. The $859,378 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund glaciological and geophysical field surveys, remote sensing, numerical modeling, and theory development to better understand how these compressive ice shelf boundaries...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $303,968 Project Grant to the University of Connecticut from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025. The grant supports research to investigate the impacts of climate change and sea ice loss on phytoplankton blooms and carbon cycling in the West Antarctic Peninsula region. Key objectives include analyzing shifts in the seasonal timing (phenology) of phytoplankton, evaluating changes in phytoplankton community...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $184,798 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (Stony Brook University) to conduct collaborative research on temporal variations in glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The research aims to better understand how seismic properties within and beneath the Antarctic ice sheets change over time, which can provide insights into ice sheet dynamics and responses to...
This $286,206 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research on the dynamics of boundaries where Antarctic ice shelves flow against obstructions such as islands and grounded ice. The research will feature on-site glaciological and geophysical field measurements near pressure ridges along the coast of Ross Island, an area affecting access to major U.S. and New Zealand Antarctic logistical hubs. The field data will be combined with...
