- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded $372,486.00 to Trustees of Tufts College for a collaborative research project addressing ice-ocean interaction physics at marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland. The four-year project, initiated September 1, 2025 and concluding August 31, 2029, integrates direct field measurements of submarine melt rates and near-ice boundary-layer dynamics with numerical modeling to improve...
- 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...
- Oregon State University was awarded a $419,172 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities to conduct collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NNA RESEARCH: GLOBAL CHANGES, LOCAL IMPACTS: STUDY OF GLACIAL FJORDS, ECOSYSTEMS AND COMMUNITIES IN GREENLAND." The award period is from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2026. The research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $1,159,178 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to establish a year-round long-term observational program studying phytoplankton populations, hydrography, and nutrient concentrations in the waters around Kotzebue, Alaska. This community-based research effort will measure water column characteristics and phytoplankton at six sites during the ice-free season and...
- This $473,058 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, funded through the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) program, supports research investigating the fate of freshwater and heat in Baffin Bay and the processes influencing shelf and slope circulation. Led by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the project will analyze hydrographic and velocity data collected during a 2021 survey of Baffin Bay by the US Coast Guard Cutter Healy. Researchers from six foreign institutions will collaborate to...
- Oregon State University received a $282,979 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to study submesoscale fjord variability and its influence on glacial melt from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023. The award supports research that aligns with the goals of the Polar Programs federal grant program authorized under the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number 47.078, which aims to strengthen fundamental understanding of polar regions through basic...
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 mechanisms and ecological dynamics in these critical Arctic coastal systems. The research team, led by early-career scientists, will partner with the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources to enhance scientific understanding and inform sustainable management of fishery resources that local communities depend upon. The project will also provide training opportunities for postdoctoral fellows and engage the public in the U.S. and Greenland through outreach events.
