- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a collaborative research project to investigate moisture-driven mechanisms of ice growth in Antarctica during the Miocene climate optimum, approximately 17-14.8 million years ago. The $237,667 award, with a performance period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, will support an interdisciplinary team of researchers across three institutions, led by George Mason University. The project...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $287,230.00 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY) to investigate mechanisms of moisture-driven ice growth in Antarctica during the warmer Miocene climate period. The project uses a combination of climate and ice sheet models along with new geologic data to evaluate how increased precipitation may have led to ice sheet growth despite overall warmer global...
- This federal Project Grant award of $355,024 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort to reconstruct the collapse of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet in western Canada since the last ice age. The project aims to determine the timing and rate of the ice sheet's disappearance over the past 10-20 thousand years through geologic dating of rock samples and computer modeling. By improving understanding of past ice sheet changes, the...
- 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 over the past 150,000 years. The research team at the University of Massachusetts Boston will analyze ocean sediment cores to reconstruct historical Arctic sea ice extent and ocean conditions during past warm periods, including the Holocene Thermal Maximum and the Last...
- This $261,875 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research study on Antarctic ice margin dynamics at the University of Delaware. The research aims to reconstruct a record of changes in the Antarctic ice sheet over time by analyzing ice rafted debris preserved in ocean sediment cores. The project will leverage sediment core data from an Ocean Drilling Program site in the southern Indian Ocean to investigate...
- 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...
- 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 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 $870,804 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a 5-year research project at the University of Washington focused on improving the representation of small-scale sea ice processes in climate models. The key objectives are to refine the modeling of sea ice deformation and fractures at the floe scale, and establish connections between these small-scale dynamics and larger-scale sea ice behavior. This will involve a...
- 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...
