The project...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $505,558 project grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to Oregon State University. The 3-year grant, which began on October 1, 2023, will support a collaborative research project to elucidate the ocean dynamics governing melt at glaciers using Lagrangian floats. The research aims to determine the physical processes causing melting at an Alaskan glacier that ends in a fjord, focusing on whether recirculating cells and waves below the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $335,701 to the University of Alaska Fairbanks to study how the ocean affects landfast sea ice, especially during the spring and autumn seasonal transitions, in Alaska's Arctic coastal communities. The research aims to improve forecasting and understanding of landfast ice breakup and freeze-up events, which are critical for safe hunting and travel activities. The project will collect ocean...
- The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded a $288,448 Project Grant to Oregon State University to conduct collaborative research on using X-ray tomography to characterize the microstructure of sea ice during stress tests. The goal is to develop multiscale numerical models that link the micromechanics of sea ice to its macroscopic behavior, which is critical for improving Arctic navigation, infrastructure design, and climate adaptation strategies. This research...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded a $1,946,497 Project Grant to Oregon State University to conduct collaborative research on quantifying real-world ice-ocean interaction physics. The research aims to directly measure submarine melt rates and near-ice boundary-layer dynamics at Greenland's marine-terminating glaciers to improve next-generation climate models. The project will integrate field measurements with numerical simulations to develop a robust,...
- 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 $211,412 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs award under the Polar Programs (47.078) federal grant program will fund a collaborative research project between Oregon State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill examining Arctic shelf sediment pathways and morphodynamic feedbacks. The award period is from December 15, 2022 through August 31, 2023. Specifically, the researchers will conduct field measurements of sediment fluxes and seabed properties...
- Oregon State University was awarded a $587,463 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will fund the EHR-POLAR DCL: AUTHENTIC RESEARCH THROUGH COLLABORATIVE LEARNING (ARC-LEARN): UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH EXPERIENCES IN DATA RICH ARCTIC SCIENCE project from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024. The project aims to strengthen fundamental knowledge and understanding of the polar regions through...
- 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) awarded a $379,007 Project Grant under its Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to Oregon State University (OSU). The 3-year grant, which runs from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2027, will fund collaborative research to study physical feedbacks in the coastal Alaskan Arctic during the landfast ice freeze-up period. The research aims to better understand how waves, storms, and sediment interact during the fall freeze-up in the region, which has experienced rapid declines in landfast ice. The project will use a combination of seafloor instruments, autonomous systems, and seafloor cables to capture the spatial and temporal variability in the freeze-up processes. The findings are expected to enable improved predictions of seasonal and decadal changes in landfast ice formation. The grant will also support educational outreach efforts to engage middle and high school students, both locally in the Arctic and across the continental U.S., in learning about coastal oceanography and building small instruments for deployment.
