This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) project grant of $286,206 awarded to the University of Maine System will explore the dynamics of areas where Antarctica's floating ice shelves compress against obstructions such as islands and grounded ice. The research aims to better understand how these compressive boundaries generate resistive forces that slow the flow of inland ice into the ocean, which is critical for predicting sea level rise. The 3-year project will...
This $578,675 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support collaborative research by the University of Chicago to investigate the dynamics of compressive boundaries where Antarctic ice shelves flow against obstructions. The research will feature on-site glaciological and geophysical field measurements near pressure ridges along the coast of Ross Island, an area critical for logistical access by the U.S. and New Zealand Antarctic programs....
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, titled "Collaborative Research: Site Survey for Subglacial Bedrock Exposure Dating at the Margin of the Wilkes Basin in Northern Victoria Land," provides $116,342 to support basic research activities that are best conducted in Antarctica's polar regions. Funded under the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to expand fundamental polar knowledge and understanding, the award will allow the...
The National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs awarded a $899,856 project grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, on August 15, 2023. The funding supports a collaborative U.S./U.K. research project investigating the direct influence of meltwater on the dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheet. The key activities include a field campaign on Flade Glacier and a continent-wide remote sensing survey to test hypotheses related to how surface meltwater reaching...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $368,061 to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU), doing business as the University of Colorado, to explore the dynamics of boundaries where Antarctic ice shelves flow against obstructions such as islands and grounded ice. The research aims to understand how these compressive ice shelf boundaries generate forces that impede the flow of inland ice into the ocean, which is...
This three-year, $1.2 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences aims to test the role of seasonality in abrupt climate change through reconstructing fluctuations of a late-glacial ice mass in eastern North America. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the University of Maine will collaborate with researchers to determine the signature of summer warming-driven ice retreat...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $184,798 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (Stony Brook University) to conduct collaborative research on temporal variations in glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The research aims to better understand how seismic properties within and beneath the Antarctic ice sheets change over time, which can provide insights into ice sheet dynamics and responses to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $225,001 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, to conduct "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: BACK TO THE FUTURE: ASSIMILATING PALEO THINNING RATES AND GROUNDING LINE POSITIONS TO CONSTRAIN FUTURE ANTARCTIC SEA LEVEL CONTRIBUTIONS" under CFDA 47.078 - Polar Programs. The project aims to merge archived constraints on past ice-sheet behavior from around, above,...
This Project Grant award, valued at $359,487, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Trustees of Princeton University. The funding will be used to develop advanced analytical methods for high-resolution chemical imaging and dating of ancient ice cores from Antarctica's Blue Ice Areas, which contain climate records spanning over 1 million years. Specifically, the project will utilize cryo-cell laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $126,121 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) for a 3-year collaborative research project to study temporal variations in glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The project aims to leverage existing seismic data to better understand how the physical properties of the Antarctic ice sheet change over time, including seasonal variations in subglacial hydrological systems....
