- 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 $370,228, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), supports collaborative research on the mechanisms of moisture-driven ice growth during the Miocene Climate Optimum, a past period of global warming. The interdisciplinary research team will use advanced Earth system models and geologic data to investigate how increased high-latitude snowfall may have offset Antarctic ice sheet melt during this warmer climate interval....
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) is for $423,761 and will be executed from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028. The grant will support collaborative research to advance coupled atmosphere-ocean-sea ice modeling of the Antarctic region. The project aims to enhance the representation of atmospheric cloud physics and ocean-sea ice heat exchange in state-of-the-science models. This will enable more realistic simulations of the marine...
- This $561,300 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports research to reconstruct sea ice and freshwater changes in the East Greenland Current during the Younger Dryas, a cold period that interrupted the Earth's warming climate 11,700-12,900 years ago. The project aims to provide quantitative data to understand what triggered an abrupt slowdown of ocean circulation that caused prominent cooling in the Northern Hemisphere during this...
- This Project Grant award of $231,050 from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research to investigate the mechanisms that relate ocean circulation in the open ocean to ice sheet melt in Antarctica. The primary objectives are to: 1) Quantify the pathways of Circumpolar Deep Water from its origin in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to the Antarctic continental slope, and 2) Determine the physical mechanisms that govern the variability of these pathways. The...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $225,001 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, to conduct "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: BACK TO THE FUTURE: ASSIMILATING PALEO THINNING RATES AND GROUNDING LINE POSITIONS TO CONSTRAIN FUTURE ANTARCTIC SEA LEVEL CONTRIBUTIONS" under CFDA 47.078 - Polar Programs. The project aims to merge archived constraints on past ice-sheet behavior from around, above,...
- This $770,209 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will create the first comprehensive map of basal temperatures across the entire Antarctic continent. The project will combine decades of airborne radar data with cutting-edge artificial intelligence techniques to infer basal temperatures, a critical gap in current Antarctic ice sheet models. This data will then be integrated into the Ice Sheet and Sea-Level System Model (ISSM) to improve...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $184,798 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (Stony Brook University) to conduct collaborative research on temporal variations in glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The research aims to better understand how seismic properties within and beneath the Antarctic ice sheets change over time, which can provide insights into ice sheet dynamics and responses to...
- This $392,618 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support collaborative research to investigate the combined impact of atmospheric rivers and foehn warming on surface warming and melting over West Antarctica. The research will utilize high-resolution numerical weather prediction simulations and existing satellite/ground observations to examine the physical mechanisms behind these extreme weather events and their contribution to ice...
