The National Science Foundation's Polar Research (CFDA 47.078) program awarded the University of Washington a $327,580 project grant to elucidate the ocean dynamics governing melt at glaciers using Lagrangian floats. The 3-year grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, will develop instruments that drift in three dimensions to study the physical processes causing melting at an Alaskan glacier ending in a fjord. The project aims to determine whether recirculating cells and waves below the sea surface...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award of $497,704 to the University of Washington supports a collaborative research study called the "GREENFJORD-FIBER" project. The goal of this project is to use advanced instrumentation, including distributed temperature sensing (DTS) and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) systems, to better understand how Greenlandic glaciers interact with the ocean, particularly the processes by which icebergs...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $133,492 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF), through its Division of Sponsored Research, to conduct collaborative research on quantifying the effect of moraine building on the stability of Greenland tidewater glaciers. The project aims to collect observations from the fronts of three Greenland outlet glaciers to determine if the deposition of sediment at the ice-ocean boundary is responsible for the...
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 $160,021 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078 Polar Programs) to Rutgers, The State University's Research Financial Services Division. The funding will support a collaborative research project called "GREENFJORD-FIBER, Observing the Ice-Ocean Interface with Exceptional Resolution" that aims to better understand how Greenlandic glaciers flowing into the ocean change between winter and summer. The project will...
This $325,213 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to investigate the role of meltwater in governing the geophysical properties of deforming icy systems. The project aims to create new flow laws that explicitly incorporate meltwater effects, improving existing deformation simulation models for ice flow. This research will provide timely inputs for models of...
This $411,096 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University). The project aims to utilize machine learning and physics-based models to map and understand how surface meltwater on the Greenland ice sheet reaches the bedrock, which can impact ice sheet dynamics and response to climate change. Key products and services to be delivered include:
Development of open-source...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs ($489,233) supports research into the last deglaciation period in Greenland. Oregon State University is the primary awardee and will work with sub-awardee University of Washington to strengthen understanding of this "mystery interval" through basic scientific exploration best conducted in polar regions, as outlined in the NSF's CFDA #47.078 program. Specifically, the awardees will conduct...
