- This $700,962 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a collaborative research study on how meltwater from surface channels affects the subglacial drainage system beneath Greenland's glaciers. The investigators will conduct a field study using seismic sensors, radar, and ice movement measurements to track the evolution of underground drainage cavities and how their connectivity impacts seasonal changes in ice velocity. The research builds...
- The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) has awarded a $160,021 Project Grant to the Trustees of Tufts College to conduct the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GREENFJORD-FIBER, OBSERVING THE ICE-OCEAN INTERFACE WITH EXCEPTIONAL RESOLUTION" scientific study. The project aims to use high-tech sensors and instruments to measure vibrations, temperature, and other data at the interface where Greenlandic glaciers meet the ocean. This will help researchers understand how...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), supports collaborative research to investigate how meltwater from surface channels called moulins affects the subglacial drainage system beneath Greenland's glaciers. The $469,008 award, effective from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2028, will enable the investigators to conduct a field study using seismic sensors, radar, and ice movement measurements to track the evolution of hydraulic...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $2.8 million project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University for the period of October 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026. The project aims to map changes in Greenland resulting from ice thinning and explore emerging landslide and hazard risks. Researchers will integrate local observations from Greenlandic communities with remote sensing data to understand how hazards evolve over time. Advanced...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), will support a collaborative research project to quantify the physics of ice-ocean interactions at the interface of marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland. The $372,486 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2029, will integrate direct measurements of submarine melt rates and near-ice boundary-layer dynamics with numerical simulations to improve next-generation climate...
- 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...
- 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...
- 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 award for $343,679 from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports collaborative research on the tectonic influence on the Greenland Ice Sheet (TIGRIS). The project aims to develop new models of the solid-earth structure beneath Greenland by combining geophysical observations from multiple seismic networks. These new solid-earth constraints will then be incorporated into advanced modeling to evaluate critical thresholds for ice-sheet recovery under different environmental scenarios. The research will test hypotheses on how solid-earth structure plays a first-order role in the long-term evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet, as well as its response to past and future climate conditions. The award has an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2029 and is led by the University of Massachusetts.
