Project Grant 2442929
- This $594,726 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research to investigate historical sources of lead pollution in the northern hemisphere over the past 2,500 years. The research team, led by the Desert Research Institute (DRI), will use inverse modeling of lead isotopes in high-resolution Arctic ice cores to quantify emissions from specific historical sources such as mining, smelting, coal combustion, and oil/gasoline...
- The Ohio State University received a $171,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities to support research activities under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2026. The grant funding will support collaborative research examining the interactions of natural and social systems with climate change, globalization, and infrastructure development in the Arctic region. Specifically, researchers...
- The National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded a $423,761 Project Grant to The Ohio State University to advance atmosphere-ocean-sea ice modeling in the Southern Ocean. The project will enhance the representation of atmospheric cloud physics and heat exchange between the ocean and sea ice in state-of-the-art models, incorporating recent observations of high latitude clouds and aerosols. This will lead to improved weather forecasting on subseasonal to seasonal timescales...
- This $248,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a collaborative research project to investigate Arctic sea ice coverage and its biogeochemical impacts during past warm periods. The University of Massachusetts Boston, the grant recipient, will use advanced geochemical techniques to analyze ocean sediment cores and reconstruct historical Arctic sea ice extent and ocean conditions over the past 150,000 years, with a focus on...
- This three-year, $627,411 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will support research on recent changes in Arctic biogenic sulfur aerosols through analysis of a central Greenland ice core. The University of Washington, as prime awardee, will collaborate with the University of St. Andrews to measure the concentrations and sulfur isotope compositions of methane sulfonic acid and sulfate in...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded Colorado State University a $673,107 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program. The grant will support improved understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions during the Arctic sea ice melt period from May to June 2023. As part of the Swedish-led ARTOFMELT expedition aboard the icebreaker Oden in the Arctic Ocean, the university will conduct observations and modeling to characterize aerosol...
- This $1.5 million National Science Foundation project grant supports research into secondary marine aerosol precursors and their links to aerosol growth during Arctic sea ice melt onset. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the goal is to advance understanding of secondary marine aerosol formation in the atmosphere and its impact on cloud properties and climate. Colorado State University will conduct measurements of volatile organic compounds and reduced sulfur compounds aboard...
- This $109,690 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Research (CFDA 47.078) program will support a collaborative research project to obtain new ice cores from Antarctica and analyze them to improve understanding of galactic cosmic ray flux and the Holocene methane budget. The project will use measurements of in-situ cosmogenic carbon-14 in the ice cores to test the assumption of a constant galactic cosmic ray flux over time, which is crucial for studies of past solar...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $327,921 Project Grant to the Nevada System of Higher Education to support research being conducted at the Desert Research Institute from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023. Under the grant, the Desert Research Institute will investigate over 2,500 years of human history and atmospheric transport in Greenland ice using high-resolution lead isotopic records. The research is intended to strengthen fundamental scientific...
This federal Project Grant award of $780,358 from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support an 800-year reconstruction of the transport of air pollutants, such as dust and soot, between mid-latitudes and the polar regions. The primary objectives are to analyze an ice core from the Russian Arctic's Franz Joseph Land to develop high-resolution records of aerosol deposition, trace element concentrations, and sea ice proxies. This comprehensive research project aims to establish a baseline for future observations of pollutants entering the Arctic atmosphere and investigate the statistical relationship between aerosol transport and changes in sea ice cover. The project will also train the next generation of Arctic scientists and engage local communities in Ohio to collect air quality data. The award period is from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2030, and the principal investigator is from The Ohio State University, a prominent public research institution with extensive federal research and grant experience.
