This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $199,921 to Kennesaw State University Research And Service Foundation, Inc. for planning activities comparing climate change vulnerabilities in Greenland and Iceland. The funding supports initial site visits, interviews with local communities and institutions in southern Iceland and southwest Greenland to evaluate how recent climate shifts...
This $248,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a collaborative research project to investigate past Arctic sea ice coverage and its impacts on marine ecosystems. The research team at the University of Massachusetts Boston will analyze ocean sediment cores to reconstruct Arctic sea ice extent and ocean conditions over the past 150,000 years, focusing on the Holocene Thermal Maximum and Last Interglacial warm periods....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Polar Programs grant program (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research effort to investigate how physical oceanographic processes, such as water circulation and mixing, shape the productivity of fjord ecosystems in Greenland. The $1,038,209 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund field observations, computer modeling, and analysis to elucidate the linkages between physical transport...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $126,959 Project Grant under the Polar Research (NSPR) program to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents. This grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, will fund the scientific analysis of materials recovered from the Broken Mammoth archaeological site in central Alaska. The research team will curate and analyze the site's large collection of artifacts, butchered animal bones, and environmental samples to reconstruct...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs has awarded a $499,527 Project Grant to the University of Wyoming, Sponsored Programs to conduct research on reconstructing subsistence, diet breadth, and paleoclimate in Interior Alaska during social and climatic transitions. The project will analyze isotopic and molecular data from over fifty legacy collections and experimental cooking features to refine reconstructions of past subsistence practices. Targeted archaeological excavations...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant in the amount of $376,582 awarded to Florida International University (FIU) will support a collaborative international research effort titled "WHALEADAPT: Adaptation of Vulnerable Subsistence-Based North Atlantic Communities to Marine Mammal Redistribution under Climate Change." The project aims to investigate the past, present, and future distribution and abundance of North Atlantic toothed...
This $879,520 National Science Foundation award through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds a collaborative research project examining the implications of rapid Arctic change for fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. Led by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, the project builds a network to develop a climate vulnerability assessment and predictive models evaluating how changes in the Arctic cryosphere and ocean circulation affect ecosystem and fishery...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Arizona State University (ASU) a $277,490 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support U.S. researchers participating in a multinational Belmont Forum initiative on global environmental change. The project, titled "Coastal Tales, Telling Adaptations: Living Environmental Stories for Coastal Resilience," focuses on integrating local and traditional knowledge, social science, and natural science to determine how past...
This $293,977 project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities will fund research into the impacts of rapid Arctic change on fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. The award was made to Florida State University on January 1, 2023 for research to be completed by December 31, 2025. The project builds a collaborative network to develop climate vulnerability assessments and predictive models examining how shifts in Arctic ice, ocean...
This $136,629 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078 Polar Programs) to the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The purpose of the grant is to conduct collaborative research to constrain and understand regional modes of variability in the Atlantic Arctic using ultra-high-resolution climate proxies such as tree rings, lake/ocean sediments, and ice cores. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include:...
