This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), supports research to explore the dynamics of boundaries where Antarctic ice shelves flow against obstructions such as islands and grounded ice. The $859,378 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund glaciological and geophysical field surveys, remote sensing, numerical modeling, and theory development to better understand how these compressive ice shelf boundaries...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), will support collaborative research to develop and maintain geospace instrumentation at the U.S. Antarctic research stations of South Pole, McMurdo, and Palmer. The $199,162 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2029, will enable studies of interrelated geospace phenomena observed at southern high latitudes. The project will integrate a suite of ground-based instruments,...
This $286,206 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research on the dynamics of boundaries where Antarctic ice shelves flow against obstructions such as islands and grounded ice. The research will feature on-site glaciological and geophysical field measurements near pressure ridges along the coast of Ross Island, an area affecting access to major U.S. and New Zealand Antarctic logistical hubs. The field data will be combined with...
This NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Project Grant award under CFDA Program 43.001 (Science) aims to enhance the management and conservation of the Ross Sea Region Marine Protected Area (RSRMPA) through the implementation of the "Big Blue Cloud", a cloud-based data science platform developed by Ocean Motion Technologies Inc. The $249,105 award will integrate NASA Earth observation data with in-situ datasets to provide critical support for evidence-based decision-making,...
This Project Grant award of $703,638, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program, aims to advance the understanding of the dynamic interaction between mantle flow, crustal deformation, and topography beneath Antarctica. The research objectives include addressing the evolution and uplift of the Marie Byrd Land hotspot, investigating the interplay of mantle processes and tectonic forces during rift evolution in the West...
This $753,858 federal project grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support collaborative research at the U.S. Antarctic research stations of South Pole, McMurdo, and Palmer. The grant aims to enhance understanding of the Earth's geospace environment and its interactions with the solar wind through simultaneous observations and integrated instrumentation deployed at these locations. Key activities include studying magnetospheric and ionospheric...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $359,717 Project Grant to Bowling Green State University to conduct collaborative research on "Heat Source and Flux Distributions in the Western Ross Sea Seafloor." The goal of this 3-year project is to identify and document the distribution of heat sources and heat flux within the seafloor of the southwestern Ross Sea in Antarctica. The research will involve a shipboard survey to collect seafloor heat...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $126,121 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) for a 3-year collaborative research project to study temporal variations in glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The project aims to leverage existing seismic data to better understand how the physical properties of the Antarctic ice sheet change over time, including seasonal variations in subglacial hydrological systems....
