This $602,967 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program. The grant supports a multiscale research project to enhance understanding of permafrost and frozen soil properties, and how they respond to climate change over time. The research team from Montana State University will employ advanced imaging techniques, laboratory experiments, and computer simulations to investigate how microstructural features of frozen soil affect...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $295,705 to Appalachian State University from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The funding supports collaborative research titled "Zero-Order to First-Order: Hydrologic Drivers of Surface-Subsurface Storage Dynamics in Thawing Permafrost Landscapes." The research aims to improve understanding of hydrologic processes in areas with thawing permafrost. Specifically, the university...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $414,744 to Colorado State University from September 2022 through August 2025 to investigate past, present, and future glaciated alpine landscapes using integrated data and modeling. The award supports developing detailed modern and paleo glaciological datasets from the Teton Range in Wyoming and integrating them into a state-of-the-art glacier model (PyG2D) to simulate past and ongoing glacier...
This Project Grant award, valued at $409,306.00 and provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), aims to develop a new theoretical framework and measurement approaches for quantifying unfrozen water content in frozen soil. The research seeks to improve the fundamental understanding of soil water freezing and thawing behavior, which is crucial for mitigating hazards associated with climate change-driven melting of Arctic ice and permafrost thawing. The...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs provides $439,938 to Michigan State University from July 2021 through June 2025 for collaborative research on microbial processes and carbon transformation in thawing permafrost. The research funded under this award aligns with the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) goal of advancing understanding of major problems confronting the nation through basic biological science. Specifically, the award will support...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to advance understanding of rock glaciers as probes of Holocene climate history, weathering, hydrology, and landscape evolution in Colorado's Rocky Mountains. The $548,224 award to the University of Colorado, Boulder will fund field measurements, data analysis, and numerical modeling to investigate the formation, movement, and environmental impacts of rock glaciers - a critical...
This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $832,098 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on September 15, 2023. The award will fund a 4-year collaborative research project to investigate the impacts of climate change-driven glacier retreat on Andean volcanoes in the inner tropics, including effects on water supply, vegetation, elemental cycling, and local indigenous Kichwa communities. The...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $180,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Dr. Marion McKenzie of Colorado School of Mines. The two-year award beginning September 2023 will support pairing onshore and offshore observations to better understand the dynamics of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet during the last deglaciation approximately 20,000 years ago. Dr. McKenzie will leverage sedimentology, geochronology, geophysics, and glaciology techniques to constrain the...
This $289,011 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) to the University of Wisconsin - Madison supports research to reconstruct Holocene glacier lengths across North and South America. The research objectives are to: 1) constrain glacier length changes using radiocarbon and beryllium-10 dating, 2) determine glacier length histories through statistical and glaciological modeling, and 3) identify plausible climate scenarios...
