This $304,007 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in using the Ice Sheet and Sea-level System Model (ISSM) to investigate the disappearance of the Laurentide Ice Sheet over the last 20,000+ years. The research aims to provide quantitative estimates of how the percentage of dynamic mass loss versus surface mass balance evolved over the course of the Laurentide Ice Sheet's...
This $204,782 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to determine when and how quickly the Cordilleran Ice Sheet in western Canada disappeared since the end of the last ice age. The project will create a 3-D reconstruction of the ice sheet's collapse by collecting and dating rock samples across the region. This data will be used in computer models to simulate the ice sheet's past...
This $397,492 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to study the melting of ice sheets during the last interglacial period approximately 130,000 to 115,000 years ago. The project, led by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, aims to better understand when and how much the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets melted, as well as the climate conditions and ice dynamics that drove their...
This federal Project Grant award of $355,024 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort to reconstruct the collapse of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet in western Canada since the last ice age. The project aims to determine the timing and rate of the ice sheet's disappearance over the past 10-20 thousand years through geologic dating of rock samples and computer modeling. By improving understanding of past ice sheet changes, the...
This $325,213 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York will investigate the role of meltwater in governing the geophysical properties of deforming icy systems. The project aims to create new flow laws that explicitly incorporate the effects of meltwater on ice flow, which is a key factor in modeling glacial mass loss and sea level rise. The research will employ...
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 $1,263,530 National Science Foundation award through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund research into the dynamics of melting ice. New York University will investigate ice melting through laboratory experiments, numerical simulations, mathematical modeling, and analysis. Researchers will study melting in idealized settings and increasingly complex situations involving changing geometry, temperature, and salinity. Experiments will precisely measure...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $990,272 project grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in New York City to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GRATE - INTEGRATING DATA AND MODELING TO QUANTIFY RATES OF GREENLAND ICE SHEET CHANGE, HOLOCENE TO FUTURE." The period of performance for this research is from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2025. The research aims to strengthen understanding of the Greenland Ice Sheet and its response to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $356,512 Project Grant under its Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to develop a new modeling framework for evaluating the impact of groundwater processes on Antarctic ice sheet dynamics and sea level rise. The project aims to incorporate novel hydromechanical couplings between ice sheets, subglacial drainage systems, and groundwater aquifers to test hypotheses about how aquifers may...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $596,821 to the University of Washington to develop new mathematical models and simulation tools for studying the calving of icebergs from glaciers. The project aims to improve predictions of sea-level rise by advancing the understanding of glacier terminus evolution and iceberg calving, which is a critical but poorly modeled aspect of...
