This $343,332 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research at the University of Washington to study the impact of increasing boreal forest fires on the Arctic climate and sea ice. The research aims to: Examine how the increased transport of smoke and black carbon from boreal forest fires to the Arctic affects the region's climate and sea ice through warming and cooling effects. This will involve running climate model simulations...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded Western Washington University a $236,854 Project Grant under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to develop an integrated unmanned aerial system capable of autonomously retrieving impurity-laden Arctic sea ice samples and collecting hyperspectral surface property data. The award period is from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2024. Through this funding, the University will transform field sampling of snow and ice...
This $513,000 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The grant supports collaborative research by the University of Colorado to assess the causal influence of atmospheric opacity (clouds) and sea ice thickness on Arctic warming over the past 40 years and into the near future. Key deliverables include quantifying the impact of these factors on Arctic warming rates using a novel modeling approach,...
This $417,518 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support research on the impacts of high latitude dust on the Arctic cryosphere, with a focus on Svalbard. The key objectives are to: 1) determine the spatial and temporal variability of dust deposition onto Svalbard glaciers and factors driving it; 2) discern the sources of the dust; 3) assess the contribution of dust and black carbon to snow and glacier melt processes; 4) investigate...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a $408,486 study at the University of Washington to conduct a large-scale assessment of iceberg mélange (a mixture of sea ice and icebergs) and its impacts on glacier retreat in Greenland. The 3-year project will utilize satellite data to map the location and timing of mélange formation and breakup around the Greenland ice sheet, and then compare this to measurements of changing glacier...
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...
The University of Washington was awarded a $983,607 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GRATE ? INTEGRATING DATA AND MODELING TO QUANTIFY RATES OF GREENLAND ICE SHEET CHANGE, HOLOCENE TO FUTURE." The period of performance for this research is from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2025. The grant was awarded under the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to strengthen understanding of polar...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $486,913 to the University of Washington for collaborative research investigating glacial-interglacial variability in tropospheric reactive halogens. Specifically, the research will examine how blowing snow on sea ice can explain increases in sodium ions observed in Greenland and Antarctic ice cores over glacial-interglacial timescales. It...
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 $469,559 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research to assess the interactive effects of increasing wildfire severity and permafrost thaw on the carbon balance of high-latitude boreal forest and Arctic tundra ecosystems. The 4-year project, starting August 1, 2024, integrates long-term field observations, radiocarbon dating, and Earth system modeling to understand how fire-induced permafrost carbon loss...
