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 $140,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities will fund research under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) at the University of Delaware from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024. The grant will support the development of a research agenda on sustainable redevelopment goals for post-industrial extractive sites in the Arctic. A team of scholars will study five case sites across the U.S., Canada, Finland, Greenland, and Sweden to...
This $248,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a collaborative research project to investigate past Arctic sea ice coverage and its impacts on marine ecosystems. The research team at the University of Massachusetts Boston will analyze ocean sediment cores to reconstruct Arctic sea ice extent and ocean conditions over the past 150,000 years, focusing on the Holocene Thermal Maximum and Last Interglacial warm periods....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will provide $462,000 to the University of Washington to investigate Arctic sea ice coverage and ocean conditions over the past 150,000 years. The research team will use advanced geochemical techniques, including helium and thorium isotopes and nitrogen isotope analyses, to reconstruct historical sea ice extent and ocean nutrient levels. This data will be collected from sediment cores spanning a range of...
This $436,468 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a research initiative by Brown University to develop future scenarios for Arctic maritime accessibility. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Using numerical weather prediction and machine learning techniques to model the probability of hazardous icing conditions and dangerous sea ice convergence along Arctic maritime shipping routes. 2)...
The Colorado School of Mines received a $317,470 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs on August 15, 2021 to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: INVESTIGATING FOUR DECADES OF ROSS ICE SHELF SUBSURFACE CHANGE WITH HISTORICAL AND MODERN RADAR SOUNDING DATA."
