This $248,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a collaborative research project to investigate past Arctic sea ice coverage and its biogeochemical impacts. The research team, led by the University of Massachusetts Boston, will analyze ocean sediment cores to reconstruct Arctic sea ice extent and ocean conditions over the past 150,000 years, focusing on the Holocene Thermal Maximum and Last Interglacial periods. The...
This $155,583 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support research to advance knowledge of iceberg size distributions and their climate impacts. The project aims to: (i) use process models and observational data to quantify present-day calving characteristics of glaciers and ice shelves in Greenland and Antarctica; and (ii) integrate climate models and ice sheet model outputs to estimate future evolution of iceberg size...
This three-year, $177,799 National Science Foundation Project Grant through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to advance understanding of glacial-age western North Atlantic hydrography. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution will synthesize existing sediment property data from 30% more deep-sea sediment cores collected between 1994 and 2021. Isotopic and radiocarbon analyses of microfossils from cores spanning the upper 2 km of the region will provide new insights into...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $449,645 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The funding will support development of a numerical model to simulate the pathways of glacial meltwater introduced into the North Atlantic Ocean from the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the last ice age. Specifically, the coupled ocean circulation-sea ice model will be configured and tested to...
This $194,921 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund collaborative research to constrain and understand regional modes of variability in the Atlantic Arctic over the next two years. The overarching goal is to quantitatively study climate patterns and their long-term changes in the Atlantic Arctic and sub-Arctic regions using a variety of data sources, including meteorological measurements, historical observations, and climate...
This $477,793 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) funds a research project at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to investigate the impacts of climate change on the biological carbon pump in the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) region. The goal of the project is to develop a novel hybrid modeling framework that integrates observational data from long-term research programs with advanced artificial intelligence and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a collaborative research project to investigate Arctic sea ice coverage and its biogeochemical impacts over the past 150,000 years. The $462,000 award, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028, will fund the analysis of ocean sediment cores to reconstruct historical Arctic sea ice extent and ocean conditions during two key warm periods - the Holocene Thermal Maximum (~8,000 years ago)...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a $705,115 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA #47.078) to conduct collaborative research quantifying seasonal and interannual changes in shelf-derived material inputs to the Arctic Ocean. The research, titled "The Arctic Radium Isotope Observing Network (ARION)," will strengthen understanding of fundamental polar science by expanding knowledge of Arctic...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $177,641 to Alfred University to conduct research investigating the role of icebergs in contributing fresh water that disrupted Atlantic Ocean circulation during the Younger Dryas climate event approximately 12,000 years ago. The research will use high-resolution computer simulations of iceberg paths to test this hypothesis and compare the results to proxy records from Arctic lakes. This...
This $870,804 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a 5-year research project at the University of Washington focused on improving the representation of small-scale sea ice processes in climate models. The key objectives are to refine the modeling of sea ice deformation and fractures at the floe scale, and establish connections between these small-scale dynamics and larger-scale sea ice behavior. This will involve a...
