This $194,921 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund collaborative research to constrain and understand regional modes of variability in the Atlantic Arctic over the next two years. The overarching goal is to quantitatively study climate patterns and their long-term changes in the Atlantic Arctic and sub-Arctic regions using a variety of data sources, including meteorological measurements, historical observations, and climate...
This $248,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a collaborative research project to investigate past Arctic sea ice coverage and its impacts on marine ecosystems. The research team at the University of Massachusetts Boston will analyze ocean sediment cores to reconstruct Arctic sea ice extent and ocean conditions over the past 150,000 years, focusing on the Holocene Thermal Maximum and Last Interglacial warm periods....
The University of Massachusetts was awarded a two-year, $285,631 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to assess the relationship among fire, temperature, and precipitation in the Arctic during the Pleistocene period. The grant will fund research best conducted under the NSF's Polar Programs, which provides support to strengthen understanding of polar regions through expanded fundamental knowledge. The University will analyze how fire, temperature, and...
This $1,822,863 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to measure the East Greenland Coastal Current on the Northeast Greenland Shelf. The project seeks to quantify the volume, heat, and freshwater transports of this current and compare them to the neighboring East Greenland Current. Key activities include deploying an array of six moorings to collect continuous measurements of temperature, salinity, and...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation will fund research from September 1, 2021 to October 31, 2022 totaling $110,001. The grant was awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, the grant will support research investigating the impacts of hemispheric moisture transport and atmospheric dynamics on millennial-scale Arctic hydroclimate during the Holocene. The grantee,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will provide $462,000 to the University of Washington to investigate Arctic sea ice coverage and ocean conditions over the past 150,000 years. The research team will use advanced geochemical techniques, including helium and thorium isotopes and nitrogen isotope analyses, to reconstruct historical sea ice extent and ocean nutrient levels. This data will be collected from sediment cores spanning a range of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $312,259 to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to conduct collaborative research on the last interglacial period approximately 130,000 to 115,000 years ago, when temperatures were naturally warmer than today. The project aims to better understand when and how much the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets melted during this period, as well as the climate conditions and ice dynamical...
This Project Grant award of $261,675.00 from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research project to advance predictive understanding of summertime Arctic sea ice cover. The project aims to develop new forecasting methods using advanced machine learning techniques to improve predictions of Arctic sea ice extent, which is crucial for understanding the impacts of climate change on Arctic environments, economies, and societies. The research will...
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 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...
