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 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...
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 $240,377 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) will fund the development and testing of a new capability to couple unreinforced single-mode optical fiber with melt probe technology. The goal is to greatly expand the number and distribution of temperature and geothermal flux observations from the Greenland and East Antarctic ice sheets. Specifically, the University of Washington will augment the capability of melt probes...
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 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...
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...
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded Rutgers, The State University a $106,348 Project Grant under the Polar Programs CFDA 47.078 to conduct collaborative research focused on quantifying the effects of sediment deposition on the stability and retreat rates of Greenland tidewater glaciers. Over the 2-year period of performance from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025, the project aims to collect observational data on sedimentation processes at the ice-ocean...
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 five-year, $565,180 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on the impacts of global changes on glacial fjords, ecosystems, and communities in Greenland. The awardee, Bigelow Laboratory For Ocean Sciences, will partner with Pinngortitaleriffik / Gronlands Naturinstitut to study glacial fjords, ecosystems, and local communities in Greenland through 2026. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge...
