This $590,883 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs will fund research into sea ice-ocean exchange of microplastics in the Arctic. The grant was awarded on March 1, 2022 to the Regents of the University of Colorado under the NSF's Polar Programs CFDA number 47.078. Through a combination of laboratory studies and numerical modeling, researchers will develop new techniques to understand the uptake and release of microplastics between sea ice and ocean water,...
This three-year, $459,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund research into the origins and mitigation of secondary microplastics and nanoplastics pollution. The grantee, Columbia University, will combine experimental and theoretical tools to elucidate the degradation mechanisms of semicrystalline polymers when exposed to mechanical forces, water, air and UV light. This work aims to delineate the critical physics...
The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) will receive $119,311 through a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Columbia University will conduct research to monitor the decomposition of microplastic particles in soils and quantify their assimilation and mineralization by soil microbes. Researchers will exploit isotopic tags inherent to or introduced into...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs supports collaborative research on sea ice-ocean exchange of microplastics in the Arctic. The $111k award runs from March 2022 through February 2026. The researchers are developing new laboratory techniques and numerical models to understand the uptake and release of microplastics between Arctic sea ice and the ocean, including the effect of marine gels. Laboratory studies are measuring the optical properties of...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $302,445 Project Grant to Columbia University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2023. The grant funding supports Columbia University's research project "Investigating the Influence of Ocean Temperature on Antarctic Ice Sheet Evolution During the Early to Middle Pleistocene." The project aims to strengthen understanding of the polar...
This Project Grant award of $561,300.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will be used by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to reconstruct sea ice and freshwater changes in the East Greenland Current during the Younger Dryas period. The research aims to provide quantitative data to understand what triggered an abrupt slowdown of ocean circulation that resulted in prominent cooling of the Northern Hemisphere during this deglacial...
This Project Grant award, valued at $359,487, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Trustees of Princeton University. The funding will be used to develop advanced analytical methods for high-resolution chemical imaging and dating of ancient ice cores from Antarctica's Blue Ice Areas, which contain climate records spanning over 1 million years. Specifically, the project will utilize cryo-cell laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass...
