The $749,828 award to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography will incorporate recent observations of high latitude clouds and aerosols to improve weather...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $551,480 to the University of Oklahoma from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The grant supports research services focusing on advancing knowledge of Arctic sea ice interactions with tropospheric polar vortices and Arctic cyclones. Specifically, the university will investigate the coupling of these atmospheric phenomena with underlying sea...
- 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 $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...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $283,923 project grant under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation from June 1, 2021 to 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 new comprehensive model of the interactions between glaciers, ocean waters, and ice mélanges. The model will provide a...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a collaborative research project to investigate moisture-driven mechanisms of ice growth in Antarctica during the Miocene climate optimum, approximately 17-14.8 million years ago. The $237,667 award, with a performance period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, will support an interdisciplinary team of researchers across three institutions, led by George Mason University. The project...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) is for $423,761 and will be executed from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028. The grant will support collaborative research to advance coupled atmosphere-ocean-sea ice modeling of the Antarctic region. The project aims to enhance the representation of atmospheric cloud physics and ocean-sea ice heat exchange in state-of-the-science models. This will enable more realistic simulations of the marine environment, improving weather forecasting and Earth system models for the Southern Ocean. The research will be conducted by The Ohio State University, a prominent public research institution with extensive federal grant and contract experience across scientific and technological domains.
