- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $505,558 project grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to Oregon State University. The 3-year grant, which began on October 1, 2023, will support a collaborative research project to elucidate the ocean dynamics governing melt at glaciers using Lagrangian floats. The research aims to determine the physical processes causing melting at an Alaskan glacier that ends in a fjord, focusing on whether recirculating cells and waves below the...
- 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...
- Oregon State University received a $282,979 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to study submesoscale fjord variability and its influence on glacial melt from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023. The award supports research that aligns with the goals of the Polar Programs federal grant program authorized under the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number 47.078, which aims to strengthen fundamental understanding of polar regions through basic...
- The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded a $288,448 Project Grant to Oregon State University to conduct collaborative research on using X-ray tomography to characterize the microstructure of sea ice during stress tests. The goal is to develop multiscale numerical models that link the micromechanics of sea ice to its macroscopic behavior, which is critical for improving Arctic navigation, infrastructure design, and climate adaptation strategies. This research...
- 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...
- Oregon State University was awarded a $419,172 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities to conduct collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NNA RESEARCH: GLOBAL CHANGES, LOCAL IMPACTS: STUDY OF GLACIAL FJORDS, ECOSYSTEMS AND COMMUNITIES IN GREENLAND." The award period is from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2026. The research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic...
- The National Science Foundation's Polar Research (CFDA 47.078) program awarded the University of Washington a $327,580 project grant to elucidate the ocean dynamics governing melt at glaciers using Lagrangian floats. The 3-year grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, will develop instruments that drift in three dimensions to study the physical processes causing melting at an Alaskan glacier ending in a fjord. The project aims to determine whether recirculating cells and waves below the sea surface...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $379,007 Project Grant under its Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to Oregon State University (OSU). The 3-year grant, which runs from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2027, will fund collaborative research to study physical feedbacks in the coastal Alaskan Arctic during the landfast ice freeze-up period. The research aims to better understand how waves, storms, and sediment interact during the fall freeze-up in the region, which has experienced rapid...
- This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs ($489,233) supports research into the last deglaciation period in Greenland. Oregon State University is the primary awardee and will work with sub-awardee University of Washington to strengthen understanding of this "mystery interval" through basic scientific exploration best conducted in polar regions, as outlined in the NSF's CFDA #47.078 program. Specifically, the awardees will conduct...
