The award period runs from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. Under the NSF's Polar Programs CFDA #47.078, which aims to strengthen fundamental polar research conducted in or requiring polar...
This $560,876 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will support collaborative research exploring interlinked physical, biological, and geochemical properties of seafloor sediments around Antarctica. Led by three early-career women principal investigators at the Colorado School of Mines, the research team will analyze archived marine sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to...
This $126,121 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports collaborative research to analyze temporal variations in the glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The research aims to improve understanding of how continental-scale ice sheets respond to climate change, which is critical for predicting future sea level rise. Key activities include: Leveraging existing seismic data to examine changes over time in...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $895,843 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for the project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: HEAT SOURCE AND FLUX DISTRIBUTIONS IN THE WESTERN ROSS SEA SEAFLOOR". This grant, funded under CFDA 47.078 Polar Programs, will support a shipboard survey of the western Ross Sea seafloor to collect data on seafloor heat flow, conductivity, hydrothermal activity, and rock samples. The goal is to identify and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $218,256 Project Grant to Texas A&M University to support collaborative research linking marine and terrestrial sedimentary evidence for variability in glaciation of the Weddell Embayment and Antarctic Peninsula regions. The three-year award beginning September 1, 2021 will fund analysis of sediment cores to strengthen understanding of Pliocene-Pleistocene climate dynamics in Antarctica under the NSF's Polar Programs...
This $578,675 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research project led by the University of Chicago that will explore the dynamics of ice shelf boundaries in Antarctica. The research will feature on-site glaciological and geophysical field surveys near pressure ridges along the Ross Island coast, an area critical for Antarctic logistics and operations. The project aims to better understand the processes that generate...
This $840,173 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support research to investigate the characteristics of dense shelf water formed within Terra Nova Bay in the Ross Sea, Antarctica, and its subsequent transformation, modification, and northward spreading. The project aims to provide a coordinated, synchronous observational study of this seaward spreading from formation to export across the continental shelf edge and descent...
This four-year, $532,649 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs supports research titled "Collaborative Research: Circum-Antarctic Processes from Archived Marine Sediment Cores." Funded through the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA #47.078), the grant aims to analyze marine sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to examine glacial and oceanographic processes around Antarctica over the past 20,000 years. Led by three early-career women principal...
