This Project Grant award of $261,875 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research on Antarctic ice margin dynamics at the University of Delaware. The researchers will analyze sediment cores from the Indian Ocean to reconstruct a record of ice-rafted debris, which provides insights into changes in Antarctic glacial activity over time. The study aims to understand how variations in Earth's orbit and tilt (Milankovitch cycles) have...
The National Science Foundation awarded Macalester College a $116,859 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2026. The grant supports collaborative research examining the interactions of natural and social systems with climate change, globalization, and infrastructure development in the Arctic. The Geosciences program seeks to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $793,146 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. This 5-year grant, effective September 1, 2024, supports collaborative research to better understand how much and why the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets melted during the Last Interglacial period approximately 130,000 to 115,000 years ago, when global temperatures were naturally warmer than today. The project aims...
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 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a collaborative research project to investigate Arctic sea ice coverage and its biogeochemical impacts over the past 150,000 years. The $462,000 award, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028, will fund the analysis of ocean sediment cores to reconstruct historical Arctic sea ice extent and ocean conditions during two key warm periods - the Holocene Thermal Maximum (~8,000 years ago)...
This $683,266 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reconstruct global ice volume and bottom water temperature over the past 1-3 million years. The project at Brown University will analyze multiple climate proxies, including biomarkers and stable isotopes, using machine learning algorithms to resolve global ice volume and ocean temperature signals. The key objectives are to assess the role of CO2 and ice albedo in global...
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...
This $560,876 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will support collaborative research exploring interlinked physical, biological, and geochemical properties of seafloor sediments around Antarctica. Led by three early-career women principal investigators at the Colorado School of Mines, the research team will analyze archived marine sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to...
This $204,782 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to determine when and how quickly the Cordilleran Ice Sheet in western Canada disappeared since the end of the last ice age. The project will create a 3-D reconstruction of the ice sheet's collapse by collecting and dating rock samples across the region. This data will be used in computer models to simulate the ice sheet's past...
