This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award of $497,704 to the University of Washington supports a collaborative research study called the "GREENFJORD-FIBER" project. The goal of this project is to use advanced instrumentation, including distributed temperature sensing (DTS) and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) systems, to better understand how Greenlandic glaciers interact with the ocean, particularly the processes by which icebergs detach...
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 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 of $208,083 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research project to investigate the melting of tidewater glaciers and its impact on sea-level rise. The primary objective is to use specialized underwater robots and sensors to directly measure the velocity, salinity, and temperature of the turbulent boundary layer at a near-vertical glacier face and relate these to observations of the subsurface ice morphology....
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...
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 $240,377 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) will fund the development and testing of a new capability to couple unreinforced single-mode optical fiber with melt probe technology. The goal is to greatly expand the number and distribution of temperature and geothermal flux observations from the Greenland and East Antarctic ice sheets. Specifically, the University of Washington will augment the capability of melt probes...
The Trustees of Dartmouth College were awarded a two-year, $258,525 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs to conduct the research experiment "EAGER: AN ON-ICE GNSS RESEARCH EXPERIMENTAL NETWORK FOR GREENLAND" from March 1, 2021 through February 28, 2023. 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 five-year, $565,180 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on the impacts of global changes on glacial fjords, ecosystems, and communities in Greenland. The awardee, Bigelow Laboratory For Ocean Sciences, will partner with Pinngortitaleriffik / Gronlands Naturinstitut to study glacial fjords, ecosystems, and local communities in Greenland through 2026. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge...
