- This $1,039,772 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research by the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to study the impacts of warming saline permafrost in the Arctic. The key research objectives are to: 1) Analyze the spatial distribution and properties of saline permafrost, 2) Assess how ice wedge formation and thaw have influenced near-surface saline permafrost, and 3) Determine the response of warming saline permafrost...
- 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 federal Project Grant award, valued at $313,686.00 and issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), aims to build resilience along permafrost river corridors in Alaska. The interdisciplinary project team, led by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), will integrate advanced research techniques with community needs to document and forecast ongoing landscape and river changes, and enable the development of pragmatic solutions to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,448.00 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The George Washington University on December 1, 2024. The grant, titled "CO-CREATING RESEARCH FOR JUST ARCTIC FUTURE INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSFORMATIONS, RESILIENCE, AND ADAPTATION (CRAFT)", aims to bring together researchers and indigenous community members to collaboratively identify challenges and good practices in co-producing place-specific and theoretically grounded...
- This Project Grant award of $325,875.00 from the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to assess the contribution of permafrost-derived greenhouse gases to global warming since the last glacial maximum. The project combines data on permafrost thaw records, paleoclimate evidence, and ice core-based greenhouse gas concentrations to better understand the effects of warming and permafrost instability on...
- This $193,418 National Science Foundation project grant through the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) will fund research at the University of Alaska Fairbanks to map the capillary hydrologic system across Arctic tundra regions and assess its role in freshwater and carbon flows to major rivers. The three-year research project will use graph analysis techniques and deep learning algorithms applied to high-resolution satellite imagery to map ice wedges and the expanding capillary...
- This $121,069 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund a collaborative research project to understand and forecast long-term variations in the geophysical and geomechanical characteristics of degrading permafrost in Arctic Alaska due to climate change. The project will embed a 1.5-kilometer fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing array in Utqiaġvik, Alaska to monitor permafrost conditions over time. The research team will develop...
- This $602,967 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program. The grant supports a multiscale research project to enhance understanding of permafrost and frozen soil properties, and how they respond to climate change over time. The research team from Montana State University will employ advanced imaging techniques, laboratory experiments, and computer simulations to investigate how microstructural features of frozen soil affect...
This $549,097 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund the "Collaborative Research: The Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring Network-CALM VI (2025-2028): Long-Term Observations on Arctic Permafrost" project. The project will provide long-term standardized measurements of active-layer thickness and dynamics in the Arctic to enhance understanding of this critical permafrost region. The data collected will support infrastructure planning, ecosystem modeling, and workforce development through student training. The project is jointly funded by the Arctic Observing Network (AON) Program and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR). George Washington University is the prime awardee for this 3-year project running from October 2025 to September 2028.
