Project Grant 2529886
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $505,036 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Trustees of Dartmouth College to improve predictions of sea level rise driven by ice mass loss from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The project aims to combine physical understanding of ice dynamics with artificial intelligence techniques applied to satellite imagery datasets, in order to develop physics-informed models of basal sliding and ice calving processes. This...
- The National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs awarded a $899,856 project grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, on August 15, 2023. The funding supports a collaborative U.S./U.K. research project investigating the direct influence of meltwater on the dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheet. The key activities include a field campaign on Flade Glacier and a continent-wide remote sensing survey to test hypotheses related to how surface meltwater reaching...

The NSF's Polar Programs aim to strengthen fundamental understanding of the polar regions through support of basic research best conducted in or unique to the polar environments according to the...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation supports collaborative research titled "Global Changes, Local Impacts: Study of Glacial Fjords, Ecosystems and Communities in Greenland" from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026 with funding of $326,947. The research is conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Trustees of...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will provide $922,103 to Dartmouth College to characterize the thermomechanics of subglacial systems and improve understanding of how water moves beneath glaciers and ice sheets. The research aims to resolve discrepancies between observations and existing subglacial hydrology models by incorporating subglacial thermomechanics, particularly the process of ice infiltration into sediments. The project...
- This $261,875 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research study on Antarctic ice margin dynamics at the University of Delaware. The research aims to reconstruct a record of changes in the Antarctic ice sheet over time by analyzing ice rafted debris preserved in ocean sediment cores. The project will leverage sediment core data from an Ocean Drilling Program site in the southern Indian Ocean to investigate...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $528,369.00 to the Trustees of Dartmouth College to conduct collaborative research on the relationship between firn microstructure and creep in polar firn. The research aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of the compaction and microstructural evolution of polar firn through mechanical testing and microstructure characterization of firn cores from four locations in Antarctica. The...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded Dartmouth College a $175,229 Project Grant under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GRATE - INTEGRATING DATA AND MODELING TO QUANTIFY RATES OF GREENLAND ICE SHEET CHANGE, HOLOCENE TO FUTURE" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2025. Under this award, Dartmouth College will integrate data and modeling to quantify historical and future rates...
- This three-year, $175,382 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs will fund research investigating the role of coastal polynyas in modulating Antarctic marine-terminating glacier drawdown. The grantee, Dartmouth College, will analyze observational data, derived datasets, and model simulations to examine the interaction between polynya circulation and ice shelves across seven preliminary Antarctic sites. The research aims to establish a framework for interpreting...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded Macalester College a $148,032 Project Grant to conduct collaborative research on the effects of obliquity and precession on Antarctic ice margin dynamics, as inferred from ice-rafted debris in Southern Indian Ocean sediments. The investigators will analyze sediment cores to reconstruct a record of glacial activity in the Antarctic ice sheet over time, which will help elucidate how changes in the Earth's orbit and axis...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Geosciences (NSF/GEO) and the National Environment Research Council (NERC) of the United Kingdom awarded a $259,978 Project Grant to Trustees of Dartmouth College under the NSF/GEO-NERC Lead Agency Opportunity (CFDA 47.079 - Office of International Science and Engineering). The award, effective August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2028, will address critical knowledge gaps regarding 21st century ice loss from Antarctica. The project will combine satellite observations, glacier modeling, and high-resolution ocean simulations to better capture the interactions between Antarctica's glaciers and the surrounding ocean, with the goal of delivering the most reliable projections yet of ice loss in the Amundsen Sea sector. By improving ice sheet data assimilation and advancing Earth system downscaling, this collaborative U.S.-U.K. research effort aims to reduce uncertainty in forecasting Antarctic ice mass loss.
