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 $261,675 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) is supporting a collaborative research effort to advance predictive understanding of summertime Arctic sea ice cover. The research project aims to develop new machine learning-based models to improve forecasting of Arctic sea ice extent and behavior, which is crucial for understanding the impacts of climate change on local and global economies and societies. The award will fund a 2-year...
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 $561,300 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support research by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to reconstruct sea ice and freshwater changes during the Younger Dryas cooling period. The project aims to provide quantitative data to understand what triggered a slowdown in ocean circulation that resulted in prominent cooling of the Northern Hemisphere during this abrupt climate event. Leveraging...
This $513,000 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The grant supports collaborative research by the University of Colorado to assess the causal influence of atmospheric opacity (clouds) and sea ice thickness on Arctic warming over the past 40 years and into the near future. Key deliverables include quantifying the impact of these factors on Arctic warming rates using a novel modeling approach,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $312,259 to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to conduct collaborative research on the last interglacial period approximately 130,000 to 115,000 years ago, when temperatures were naturally warmer than today. The project aims to better understand when and how much the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets melted during this period, as well as the climate conditions and ice dynamical...
This $369,854 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will support research to further understanding of Arctic sea ice variability in the 20th century. Specifically, the University of Washington will produce a new, physically realistic reconstruction of Arctic sea ice and sea surface temperatures during the 20th century. This reconstruction will be used to study Arctic sea ice during the early 20th century warming period from 1915 to 1940, when the Arctic warmed...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $560,052 to Colorado State University to improve seasonal sea ice extent predictability in the Arctic Ocean. The research aims to use ocean heat patterns and the timing of autumn sea ice freeze up from reanalysis data and the CESM2 Large Ensemble to evaluate which environmental variables most significantly contribute to sea ice loss. The grant...
This $204,278 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support research by the University of Chicago to investigate how Arctic sea ice attenuation affects ocean swell, microseisms, and the potential to use seismology as a method for observing sea ice conditions. The key activities include: Analyzing seismic data from stations along the northern coasts of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland to detect seasonal and annual changes in microseisms as a...
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...
