- 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,...
- 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 $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...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs Project Grant, awarded to the Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc., a non-profit organization, provides $343,925 over three years from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027. The project will investigate the drivers and impacts of saltwater intrusion into Arctic coastal ecosystems along Alaska's Beaufort Sea coast. Key research activities include characterizing subsurface temperature, water levels, thaw depth, and porewater salinity...
- 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 Division of Polar Programs awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to the Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc. under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The award will fund research from September 2022 through August 2025 to study the mobilization, microbial transformation, and uptake of carbon and mercury from thawing permafrost soils into aquatic food webs in Arctic Alaska. Specifically, the grantee will conduct field studies using metagenomics and...
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 data broadly, and conduct analyses to explore potential causes of changes in Arctic river chemistry over the past 20 years. The research team will also collaborate with Yukon River communities to address local water quality concerns. The award runs from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028, continuing the long-term monitoring and research on these critical Arctic land-ocean linkages.
