- This $870,804 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a 5-year research project at the University of Washington focused on improving the representation of small-scale sea ice processes in climate models. The key objectives are to refine the modeling of sea ice deformation and fractures at the floe scale, and establish connections between these small-scale dynamics and larger-scale sea ice behavior. This will involve a...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports collaborative research on physical processes during freeze-up of landfast ice along the coastal Alaskan Arctic region. The $497,749 award to the University of Washington will utilize observations from seafloor instruments, ships, and novel low-cost telemetered sensors to examine how waves, storms, and sediment interact during the fall freeze-up period. The goal is to improve predictions of...
- This $369,854 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will support research to further understanding of Arctic sea ice variability in the 20th century. Specifically, the University of Washington will produce a new, physically realistic reconstruction of Arctic sea ice and sea surface temperatures during the 20th century. This reconstruction will be used to study Arctic sea ice during the early 20th century warming period from 1915 to 1940, when the Arctic warmed...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $462,000.00 to the University of Washington to investigate Arctic sea-ice coverage and its biogeochemical impacts over the past 150,000 years. The research will analyze ocean sediment cores to reconstruct past Arctic sea-ice extent, ocean nutrient levels, and biological activity during key warm periods, including the Holocene Thermal Maximum (~8,000 years ago) and the Last...
- 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 Arctic sea ice coverage and its biogeochemical impacts over the past 150,000 years. The research team at the University of Massachusetts Boston will analyze ocean sediment cores to reconstruct historical Arctic sea ice extent and ocean conditions during past warm periods, including the Holocene Thermal Maximum and the Last...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $161,000.00 to the University of Washington to conduct collaborative research assessing the causal influence of atmospheric opacity (i.e., clouds) and sea ice on Arctic warming over the period 1980 to 2060. The research will leverage a well-established NSF-funded Earth System Model and observations, including data from the recent MOSAIC field campaign, to quantify how these factors...
- This $204,278 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support research by the University of Chicago to investigate how Arctic sea ice attenuation affects ocean swell, microseisms, and the potential to use seismology as a method for observing sea ice conditions. The key activities include: Analyzing seismic data from stations along the northern coasts of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland to detect seasonal and annual changes in microseisms as a...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $371,742 to the University of Washington from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The funding will support development of a new modeling component for the continental-scale Ice Sheet and Sea Level System Model (ISSM). This new component aims to simulate surface meltwater-induced flexure, fracture, and large-scale ice shelf break-up in...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) is focused on advancing predictive understanding of summertime Arctic sea ice cover. The $261,675 award, running from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2027, aims to develop new models and forecasting capabilities to predict Arctic sea ice changes, particularly during the summer months when sea ice reaches its minimum extent. The project will leverage advanced machine learning methods to better understand...
- The University of Washington was awarded a $300,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support the NNA PLANNING: CO-DESIGNING CIVIC EDUCATION FOR THE CIRCUMPOLAR NORTH project. The two-year project beginning September 1, 2021 aims to strengthen fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research by co-designing civic education curriculum for...
