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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award for $475,439 will fund research to develop and validate multiscale numerical models that link the micromechanics of sea ice to its macroscopic behavior under various environmental conditions. The primary objectives are to: (i) use high-resolution X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging to analyze the internal structure of sea ice and identify characteristic patterns and scales that influence its behavior; (ii)...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $379,007 Project Grant under its Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to Oregon State University (OSU). The 3-year grant, which runs from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2027, will fund collaborative research to study physical feedbacks in the coastal Alaskan Arctic during the landfast ice freeze-up period. The research aims to better understand how waves, storms, and sediment interact during the fall freeze-up in the region, which has experienced rapid...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $596,821 to the University of Washington to develop new mathematical models and simulation tools for studying the calving of icebergs from glaciers. The project aims to improve predictions of sea-level rise by advancing the understanding of glacier terminus evolution and iceberg calving, which is a critical but poorly modeled aspect of...
Oregon State University was awarded a $211,668 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop a computer model and conduct simulations quantifying the effects of Langmuir turbulence on sea ice and the Arctic Ocean. The model will be used to improve predictions of heat and salt transport in the ocean and shared publicly to aid other scientists and support education. The award will also support five...
Oregon State University was awarded a $388,716 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports the development of robust computational models and their mathematical analyses for coupled phenomena in the Arctic environment. Graduate and undergraduate students will be trained in computational mathematics and contribute to interdisciplinary efforts, with a...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $505,558 project grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to Oregon State University. The 3-year grant, which began on October 1, 2023, will support a collaborative research project to elucidate the ocean dynamics governing melt at glaciers using Lagrangian floats. The research aims to determine the physical processes causing melting at an Alaskan glacier that ends in a fjord, focusing on whether recirculating cells and waves below the...
This $1,076,196 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund research into the application of Stieltjes function and spectral analysis techniques to model sea ice physics. The University of Utah will conduct the three-year research project ending June 2025 to better understand how to represent sea ice properties in climate models. The research aims to develop effective homogenized parameters for sea ice composites...
Oregon State University received a $282,979 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to study submesoscale fjord variability and its influence on glacial melt from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023. The award supports research that aligns with the goals of the Polar Programs federal grant program authorized under the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number 47.078, which aims to strengthen fundamental understanding of polar regions through basic...
This $286,206 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research to explore the dynamics of ice shelf boundaries in Antarctica. The University of Maine System, through its University of Maine Division, will conduct on-site glaciological and geophysical field surveys near pressure ridges along the coast of Ross Island. This research aims to better understand how compressive forces at the boundaries of floating ice shelves influence ice...
