- This $369,854 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will support research to further understanding of Arctic sea ice variability in the 20th century. Specifically, the University of Washington will produce a new, physically realistic reconstruction of Arctic sea ice and sea surface temperatures during the 20th century. This reconstruction will be used to study Arctic sea ice during the early 20th century warming period from 1915 to 1940, when the Arctic warmed...
