This $452,989 National Science Foundation (NSF) award, funded through the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) grant program, supports a collaborative research project to investigate the disappearance of the Laurentide Ice Sheet over the last 20,000+ years. The researchers at Columbia University will use a state-of-the-art ice sheet and sea-level model to simulate the complete retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, which once covered much of North America. This research aims to better understand the...
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 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 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $269,022 to support research aimed at improving ice shelf instability and breakup modeling. Specifically, the University of California, Los Angeles will develop a new component for the continental-scale Ice Sheet and Sea Level System Model to simulate surface meltwater-induced flexure, fracture, and large-scale ice shelf breakup. To achieve...
This $362,718 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs Project Grant will support research to improve model representations of Antarctic ice-shelf instability and break-up due to surface meltwater processes. The Regents of the University of Colorado will receive funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to develop a new component for the continental-scale Ice-Sheet and Sea-Level System Model (ISSM) capable of simulating surface meltwater-induced flexure, fracture,...
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 $793,146 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project titled "How Much and Why Did Ice Sheets Melt During the Last Interglacial (HISEAS)". The project aims to better understand how Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets responded to past periods of natural warming, in order to improve predictions of future ice sheet behavior under climate change. The research will involve a combination of...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $1.89 million Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York to support the collaborative research project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GRATE - INTEGRATING DATA AND MODELING TO QUANTIFY RATES OF GREENLAND ICE SHEET CHANGE, HOLOCENE TO FUTURE" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2025. This award will fund research under the official federal grant program titled "Polar...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $371,742 to the University of Washington from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The funding will support development of a new modeling component for the continental-scale Ice Sheet and Sea Level System Model (ISSM). This new component aims to simulate surface meltwater-induced flexure, fracture, and large-scale ice shelf break-up in...
This $200,000 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Michigan from September 2022 to August 2025 to investigate the importance of sea-level feedbacks in stabilizing marine-based ice sheets during retreat. The research will combine new late Pleistocene/Holocene relative sea-level data from Scotland with glacial isostatic adjustment models to understand sensitivity of the former Minch Ice Stream to local...
