This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $177,641 to Alfred University to conduct research investigating the role of icebergs in contributing fresh water that disrupted Atlantic Ocean circulation during the Younger Dryas climate event approximately 12,000 years ago. The research will use high-resolution computer simulations of iceberg paths to test this hypothesis and compare the results to proxy records from Arctic lakes. This...
This $397,492 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to study the melting of ice sheets during the last interglacial period approximately 130,000 to 115,000 years ago. The project, led by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, aims to better understand when and how much the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets melted, as well as the climate conditions and ice dynamics that drove their...
This $142,542 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) funds a collaborative research project to measure the East Greenland Coastal Current on the Northeast Greenland Shelf. The project aims to quantify the volume, heat, and freshwater transports of this current, compare them to the nearby East Greenland Current, and assess the current's role in the Arctic freshwater budget. Key activities include deploying an array of six moorings to make...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $252,372 two-year Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in New York, New York to support the research project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: A FOSSIL ECOSYSTEM UNDER THE ICE: DECIPHERING THE GLACIAL AND VEGETATION HISTORY OF NORTHWEST GREENLAND USING LONG-LOST CAMP CENTURY BASAL SEDIMENT." The grant is funded through the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program, which supports basic research in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Polar Programs grant program (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research effort to investigate how physical oceanographic processes, such as water circulation and mixing, shape the productivity of fjord ecosystems in Greenland. The $1,038,209 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund field observations, computer modeling, and analysis to elucidate the linkages between physical transport...
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 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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $990,272 project grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in New York City to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GRATE - INTEGRATING DATA AND MODELING TO QUANTIFY RATES OF GREENLAND ICE SHEET CHANGE, HOLOCENE TO FUTURE." The period of performance for this research is from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2025. The research aims to strengthen understanding of the Greenland Ice Sheet and its response to...
This $1,822,863 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to measure the East Greenland Coastal Current on the Northeast Greenland Shelf. The project aims to quantify the volume, heat, and freshwater transports of this current and compare them to the nearby East Greenland Current. Key products include deploying an array of six oceanographic moorings to continuously measure temperature, salinity, and...
This $325,213 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York will investigate the role of meltwater in governing the geophysical properties of deforming icy systems. The project aims to create new flow laws that explicitly incorporate the effects of meltwater on ice flow, which is a key factor in modeling glacial mass loss and sea level rise. The research will employ...
