This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs Project Grant award to Northern Arizona University totals $319,829 over 5 years from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2028. The project, titled "The Arctic Carbon and Climate (ACClimate) Observatory: Tundra Ecosystem Carbon Balance and Old Carbon Loss as a Consequence of Permafrost Degradation," will examine the dynamics of permafrost carbon, which stores substantial quantities of carbon in Arctic soils, and the impact of...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) totaling $469,559 provides funding to Northern Arizona University (NAU) to assess the impacts of increasing wildfire severity on permafrost carbon loss and carbon cycling in boreal forest and Arctic tundra ecosystems. The research aims to integrate long-term field observations, radiocarbon dating, and Earth system modeling to determine how wildfire-induced permafrost thaw affects the carbon balance in...
This Project Grant award of $325,875.00 from the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to assess the contribution of permafrost-derived greenhouse gases to global warming since the last glacial maximum. The project combines data on permafrost thaw records, paleoclimate evidence, and ice core-based greenhouse gas concentrations to better understand the effects of warming and permafrost instability on...
This $321,184 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs Project Grant will support research into carbon levels in the Arctic Ocean through the "Carbon Levels at the Arctic Salinity-Stratified Sea Ice Edge" project. The University of Hawaii will measure key carbon parameters in the marginal ice zone of the Beaufort Sea in collaboration with scientists funded through the NASA Physical Oceanography Program's "Salinity and Stratification at the Sea Ice Edge" project....
This $193,418 National Science Foundation project grant through the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) will fund research at the University of Alaska Fairbanks to map the capillary hydrologic system across Arctic tundra regions and assess its role in freshwater and carbon flows to major rivers. The three-year research project will use graph analysis techniques and deep learning algorithms applied to high-resolution satellite imagery to map ice wedges and the expanding capillary...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $959,997 Project Grant to The University Corporation located in Northridge, California. The grant period is from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2025 to support collaborative research on microbial processes and carbon transformation in thawing permafrost under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The University Corporation will deliver research services exploring major biological and environmental issues associated with...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $216,597 Project Grant to the University of Wisconsin - Madison under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to conduct collaborative research on predicting micro to macro-scale hot-spot and hot-moment dynamics in Arctic tundra ecosystems. The overarching objective is to determine the micro-scale mechanisms driving carbon dynamics in thawing Arctic permafrost in order to improve predictions of macro-scale carbon...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $293,820 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the methane release from the flooding of Arctic permafrost and its impact on the carbon cycle, ocean chemistry, and climate change. The project aims to develop a systematic understanding of the coupled thermal, physical, chemical, and microbial evolution of the Arctic permafrost system in response to warming. It will compile relevant data and...
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...
