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...
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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $660,800 project grant to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation to develop new models of glacier-ocean boundary layer interactions through laboratory experiments and numerical modeling. The award falls under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA #47.078), which supports basic research in the polar regions. Specifically, the grantee will conduct comprehensive laboratory experiments using laser-based techniques to gather...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $160,021 to Trustees of Tufts College to conduct a collaborative research study titled "GreenFjord-Fiber: Observing the Ice-Ocean Interface with Exceptional Resolution." The project aims to use advanced measurement techniques, including distributed temperature sensing (DTS) and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), to better understand how Greenlandic glaciers are changing...
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...
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded Rutgers, The State University a $106,348 Project Grant under the Polar Programs CFDA 47.078 to conduct collaborative research focused on quantifying the effects of sediment deposition on the stability and retreat rates of Greenland tidewater glaciers. Over the 2-year period of performance from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025, the project aims to collect observational data on sedimentation processes at the ice-ocean...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award to the University of Washington is valued at $575,572 and supports research to understand the response of two of East Antarctica's most vulnerable glaciers, Totten and Denman, to ocean warming and the resulting impact on sea level rise. The project will use numerical models constrained by oceanographic and remote sensing observations to determine how these glaciers will respond to increased melting. This...
This Project Grant award of $859,378 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research project exploring the dynamics of ice shelf boundaries in Antarctica. The research aims to investigate areas where floating ice shelves compressively flow against obstructions, as these "crash-zones" generate resistive forces that impact ice sheet contributions to sea-level rise. The project will feature on-site glaciological and geophysical...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $133,492 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF), through its Division of Sponsored Research, to conduct collaborative research on quantifying the effect of moraine building on the stability of Greenland tidewater glaciers. The project aims to collect observations from the fronts of three Greenland outlet glaciers to determine if the deposition of sediment at the ice-ocean boundary is responsible for the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $596,821 to the University of Washington to develop new mathematical models and simulation tools for studying the calving of icebergs from glaciers. The project aims to improve predictions of sea-level rise by advancing the understanding of glacier terminus evolution and iceberg calving, which is a critical but poorly modeled aspect of...
