This Project Grant award of $148,032 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project at Macalester College to investigate Antarctic ice margin dynamics. The project aims to reconstruct a record of ice-rafted debris accumulation in sediment cores from the Southern Indian Ocean to understand how changes in Earth's orbital parameters, such as obliquity and precession, have affected the growth and melt of the Antarctic ice...
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...
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 $286,206 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research project on "Ice-Shelf Rumpling and Its Influence on Ice-Shelf Buttressing Processes" at the University of Maine System. The research aims to explore the dynamics of boundaries where Antarctic ice shelves flow against obstructions, which generate resistive forces that impede the flow of inland ice into the ocean and impact sea-level rise. Key research...
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 Project Grant award of $859,378 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research project exploring the dynamics of ice shelf boundaries in Antarctica. The research aims to investigate areas where floating ice shelves compressively flow against obstructions, as these "crash-zones" generate resistive forces that impact ice sheet contributions to sea-level rise. The project will feature on-site glaciological and geophysical...
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 $776,963 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will fund collaborative research analyzing marine sediment cores from around Antarctica. Led by three early-career women principal investigators at the University of Virginia, the project team will leverage archived sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to examine physical, biological, and geochemical properties indicating past...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $100,956.00 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York to conduct collaborative research investigating southern ocean sea surface temperatures and freshening during the late Pliocene and Pleistocene along the Antarctic margin. The objective is to generate multi-proxy paleoclimate records of sea surface temperature and meltwater during deglacial and...
This three-year, $1.2 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences aims to test the role of seasonality in abrupt climate change through reconstructing fluctuations of a late-glacial ice mass in eastern North America. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the University of Maine will collaborate with researchers to determine the signature of summer warming-driven ice retreat...
