- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $332,586 to Montana State University to study North American ice patches located in the Northern Rocky Mountains and Alaska. The project aims to develop detailed, multifaceted records of environmental and ecological change in high-elevation regions across a range of geographic areas where long-term historical records are scarce. Key objectives include understanding how these small...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $327,921 Project Grant to the Nevada System of Higher Education to support research being conducted at the Desert Research Institute from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023. Under the grant, the Desert Research Institute will investigate over 2,500 years of human history and atmospheric transport in Greenland ice using high-resolution lead isotopic records. The research is intended to strengthen fundamental scientific...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $187,835 to The University Corporation, a non-profit organization in Northridge, California, for a collaborative research project titled "Glacier Resilience During the Holocene and Late Pleistocene in Northern California". The project aims to reconstruct past glacier changes in the Trinity Alps region of the Klamath Mountains over the past 20,000 years using methods such as...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $349,754 to Montana State University (MSU) to quantify how century to millennial-scale hillslope geomorphic processes influence the storage of ice and carbon in Arctic permafrost soils. The research aims to shed light on fundamental geological processes that control the resilience and vulnerability of ground-ice and carbon in permafrost landscapes, which is critical for understanding future...
- 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 three-year, $291,344 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research investigating past, present, and future glaciated alpine landscapes using integrated data and modeling. Four early career principal investigators at Occidental College will develop detailed modern and paleo glaciological datasets from a well-constrained site in the Teton Range, Wyoming. They will integrate these datasets into a state-of-the-art glacier model,...
- This three-year, $109,644 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences aims to advance understanding of abrupt climate change through reconstructing fluctuations of a late-glacial ice mass in eastern North America. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University of Arizona will lead efforts to determine the role of seasonality in abrupt climate shifts by mapping glacial landforms and dating the pattern and timing of recession for an ice cap...
- 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....
