This $372,154 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research on the bioavailability of organic matter released from retreating glaciers. The research, conducted by Florida State University, aims to investigate the sources and cycling of this glacial organic matter and its implications for downstream aquatic ecosystems and global carbon cycling. Key activities include using advanced analytical techniques such as...
This $199,879 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of Alaska Southeast to evaluate how changing glaciers influence the movement of freshwater, nutrients, and minerals from coastal watersheds in Southeast Alaska to nearshore waters in the Gulf of Alaska. Under the award, set to run from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024, project personnel will sample rivers with glaciers throughout the year and intensely...
This $155,602 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will fund research to improve understanding of outlet glacier dynamics in Greenland. The University of Alaska Southeast will collaborate with other researchers to analyze new field observations and satellite data on runoff-driven and terminus-driven velocity variations at a large marine-terminating outlet glacier. Multivariate statistical...
This $346,823 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs, CFDA 47.078, supports research to advance understanding of meltwater flow through glacial firn on the Juneau Icefield in Alaska. The research team at the University of Colorado will: (1) measure changes in surface melt and firn properties critical to firn hydrology, and (2) apply novel water-isotope stratigraphy techniques to determine timing and variability of meltwater infiltration. This...
This $300,785 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to characterize the chemical composition and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter released by marine nitrifying microorganisms. The project aims to determine how this material contributes to carbon cycling in the deep ocean, which may help improve biogeochemical models and inform potential marine carbon dioxide removal activities. The research will...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $495,219 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Alaska Southeast (UAS) to develop and apply computer models to assess glacier outburst flood hazards across northwest North America. The key focus is on studying the Ɂakʷ Tʻoʻwak Glacier (Mendenhall Glacier) in Juneau, Alaska, which poses an annual flood risk to the local community. The research will use field and remote sensing data to inform physically-based...
This four-year, $565,121 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will fund collaborative research at the University of Alaska Fairbanks to improve understanding of outlet glacier dynamics in Greenland. The researchers will combine new field observations at a large marine-terminating outlet glacier with satellite data analysis and numerical modeling to disentangle the relative influence of...
The University of Alaska Southeast received a $566,927 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs on July 15, 2021 for research titled "Collaborative Research: Glacier-Sediment Interactions During Onset of Tidewater Glacier Retreat." Under the award, the University will conduct research through June 30, 2025 to strengthen understanding of polar regions, as outlined in the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) grantmaking...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $138,000 Project Grant to the Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc. under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The award will fund research from September 2022 through August 2025 to study the mobilization, microbial transformation, and uptake of carbon and mercury from thawing permafrost soils into aquatic food webs in Arctic Alaska. Specifically, the grantee will conduct field studies using metagenomics and...
This five-year, $565,180 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on the impacts of global changes on glacial fjords, ecosystems, and communities in Greenland. The awardee, Bigelow Laboratory For Ocean Sciences, will partner with Pinngortitaleriffik / Gronlands Naturinstitut to study glacial fjords, ecosystems, and local communities in Greenland through 2026. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge...
