- This $234,658 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports continued sampling and water chemistry analysis of the Yukon and Mackenzie Rivers as part of the Arctic Great Rivers Observatory (ArcticGRO) project. The award will extend crucial time-series data collection on river discharge and water chemistry, which informs understanding of Arctic land-ocean dynamics that impact U.S. interests in the region, including economic development,...
- This $345,087 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports the continued operation of the Arctic Great Rivers Observatory (ArcticGRO) by the Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc. ArcticGRO provides essential time-series data on water discharge and chemistry for the six largest Arctic rivers, including the Yukon in the USA and the Mackenzie in Canada. The project will extend these crucial water quality data records, curate and disseminate the...
- This $422,121 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports the continued sampling and analysis of water chemistry in the Yukon and Mackenzie Rivers through the Arctic Great Rivers Observatory (ArcticGRO) research project. The grant will extend critical long-term data records on watershed dynamics and ocean processes in the North American Arctic region. Key activities include: Ongoing collection and analysis of water samples from the...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $393,692 project grant to The Marine Biological Laboratory under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to support the Arctic Great Rivers Observatory (ArcticGRO) from June 1, 2022 through August 31, 2024. ArcticGRO will investigate changes in water chemistry and discharge from the six largest Arctic rivers - the Yukon and Mackenzie in North America and Ob, Yenisey, Lena, and Kolyma in Siberia. Water samples...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), is mapping the distribution of freshwater and dissolved organic matter in the Arctic Ocean over a 20-year period. The $648,455 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028, will combine data on organic matter composition, salinity, temperature, and water isotope composition to identify sources and variability of freshwater in the Arctic. This research aims to advance...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $400,000 to the University of Arkansas to develop a low-cost approach to monitor the Qanirtuuq River on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta in Alaska. The award, with an effective date of October 1, 2025 and a completion date of September 30, 2026, involves a university-community partnership to study the river's ecosystem stability and create efficient,...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award of $139,073 supports collaborative research to map the extent of the Arctic capillary hydrological system and advance understanding of how it has changed over time. The project aims to produce a pan-Arctic map of the capillary drainage network, which serves as an indicator of ice-rich permafrost thaw, and make the geospatial data publicly accessible. Field observations have shown increased Arctic river runoff...
- This $266,168 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to investigate the geological history and evolution of the Mackenzie River system in the North American Arctic. The primary objectives are to 1) decipher the sedimentary provenance history of the Beaufort-Mackenzie Basin through detrital zircon analysis, and 2) establish a chronostratigraphic framework using strontium isotopes to...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 project grant to support research examining the impact of varying sediment supply on Arctic delta-front transport processes. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support research from April 2021 to March 2023 exploring fundamental knowledge and increased understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grant will fund analysis of how...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Polar Programs grant program (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research effort to investigate how physical oceanographic processes, such as water circulation and mixing, shape the productivity of fjord ecosystems in Greenland. The $1,038,209 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund field observations, computer modeling, and analysis to elucidate the linkages between physical transport...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support the continued operation of the Arctic Great Rivers Observatory (ArcticGRO) to study water discharge and chemistry in the six largest Arctic rivers. The $229,654 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028, will fund the collection and curation of essential time-series data on the Yukon and Mackenzie Rivers, as well as the analysis of archived samples to understand changes in Arctic river water chemistry over the past 20 years. The research team will also collaborate with communities in the Yukon River watershed to address local water quality concerns. The data generated will be disseminated broadly to support scientific understanding of watershed dynamics and ocean processes at local, regional, and global scales.
