- This $700,962 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a collaborative research study on how meltwater from surface channels affects the subglacial drainage system beneath Greenland's glaciers. The investigators will conduct a field study using seismic sensors, radar, and ice movement measurements to track the evolution of underground drainage cavities and how their connectivity impacts seasonal changes in ice velocity. The research builds...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), will support a collaborative research project to quantify the physics of ice-ocean interactions at the interface of marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland. The $372,486 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2029, will integrate direct measurements of submarine melt rates and near-ice boundary-layer dynamics with numerical simulations to improve next-generation climate...
- The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) has awarded a $160,021 Project Grant to the Trustees of Tufts College to conduct the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GREENFJORD-FIBER, OBSERVING THE ICE-OCEAN INTERFACE WITH EXCEPTIONAL RESOLUTION" scientific study. The project aims to use high-tech sensors and instruments to measure vibrations, temperature, and other data at the interface where Greenlandic glaciers meet the ocean. This will help researchers understand how...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a $408,486 study at the University of Washington to conduct a large-scale assessment of iceberg mélange (a mixture of sea ice and icebergs) and its impacts on glacier retreat in Greenland. The 3-year project will utilize satellite data to map the location and timing of mélange formation and breakup around the Greenland ice sheet, and then compare this to measurements of changing glacier...
- 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) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award of $497,704 to the University of Washington supports a collaborative research study called the "GREENFJORD-FIBER" project. The goal of this project is to use advanced instrumentation, including distributed temperature sensing (DTS) and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) systems, to better understand how Greenlandic glaciers interact with the ocean, particularly the processes by which icebergs detach...
- This federal Project Grant award of $451,779 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to measure the East Greenland Coastal Current on the Northeast Greenland Shelf. The project aims to determine how much fresh, low-salinity water is carried from the Arctic Ocean into the North Atlantic and how this transport may vary as the Greenland and Arctic ice sheets melt. To achieve this, the award will fund the deployment of an...
- This Project Grant award for $343,679 from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports collaborative research on the tectonic influence on the Greenland Ice Sheet (TIGRIS). The project aims to develop new models of the solid-earth structure beneath Greenland by combining geophysical observations from multiple seismic networks. These new solid-earth constraints will then be incorporated into advanced modeling to evaluate critical thresholds for ice-sheet recovery under...
- This $411,096 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University). The project aims to utilize machine learning and physics-based models to map and understand how surface meltwater on the Greenland ice sheet reaches the bedrock, which can impact ice sheet dynamics and response to climate change. Key products and services to be delivered include: Development of open-source deep...
- 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...
