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 detach...
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 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 (NSF), under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $492,989 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, operating through its Office of Contracts and Grants, to develop QGreenland-Net - a cloud-based geospatial data infrastructure for Greenland-focused research and education. This 3-year grant will build capacity for open data sharing, shared data services, and consistent standards across U.S., Greenland, and Denmark-based data producers...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $292,854 project grant to Rutgers, The State University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) for the period of June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2024. The grant funds the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GLACIOME: DEVELOPING A COMPREHENSIVE MODEL OF THE COUPLED GLACIER-OCEAN-MELANGE SYSTEM" project. This project will develop a comprehensive model of the interactions between glaciers, surrounding ocean waters, and ice mélange to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) project grant provides $157,585 to Morgan State University to study the factors affecting the flow and ice loss of outlet glaciers from the Greenland ice sheet. The research aims to determine how runoff and ocean conditions influence the velocity variations of these fast-flowing glaciers, which is essential for improving climate models and forecasting future sea level rise. The project combines new field observations at a...
This $155,602 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will fund research to improve understanding of outlet glacier dynamics in Greenland. The University of Alaska Southeast will collaborate with other researchers to analyze new field observations and satellite data on runoff-driven and terminus-driven velocity variations at a large marine-terminating outlet glacier. Multivariate statistical...
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...
