- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded Texas A&M University $299,284 on September 1, 2026, under the Polar Programs grant program to investigate how Southern Ocean hotspots control the movement of heat and carbon using Earth system computer modeling. The research team will develop new capabilities to track virtual water parcels as they move through simulated ocean environments, revealing their origin, travel pathways, and how their physical and biogeochemical...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded $1,011,669 to The Regents of the University of Colorado on October 1, 2025, under the Polar Programs grant program (CFDA 47.078) to conduct a five-year field research and modeling program on coastal Antarctic snow algae and light-absorbing particles in the western Antarctic Peninsula. The project will establish a time-series investigation of how temperature, light-absorbing particles such as black carbon, and snow algae growth...
- This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs, totaling $107,969, will fund research at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography to quantify the impacts of mesoscale eddy processes on ocean carbon content and air-sea carbon dioxide fluxes in the Southern Ocean. The researchers will use the 1/6-degree resolution Southern Ocean State Estimate bioogeochemical model to explore relationships between eddies, ocean carbon content, and air-sea CO2 fluxes....
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded $200,000 to The Regents of the University of Colorado on August 15, 2026, under the Polar Programs assistance listing (CFDA 47.078) for research on snow and glacial algae bioalbedo feedbacks in Greenland. The project studies how snow and glacial algae (SGA) growing on melting ice surfaces darken the ice, increase solar heat absorption, and accelerate melting through a positive feedback loop. The research aims to develop an...
- This Project Grant award of $231,050 from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research to investigate the mechanisms that relate ocean circulation in the open ocean to ice sheet melt in Antarctica. The primary objectives are to: 1) Quantify the pathways of Circumpolar Deep Water from its origin in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to the Antarctic continental slope, and 2) Determine the physical mechanisms that govern the variability of these pathways. The...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded the University of California Irvine $797,727 on September 1, 2026, under the Polar Programs assistance listing (CFDA 47.078) to develop an advanced Earth system model that couples interactive Antarctic ice sheets with global ocean dynamics. The recipient will create a new version of the Community Earth System Model incorporating a dynamic representation of the Antarctic ice sheet—the first such implementation—to enable...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded Old Dominion University Research Foundation $125,105 on December 1, 2025, under the Polar Programs assistance listing (CFDA 47.078) to investigate linkages among sea ice, phytoplankton, and carbon cycling in the West Antarctic Peninsula marginal ice zone. The research examines how seasonal timing, magnitude, and type of phytoplankton change as the West Antarctic Peninsula warms and experiences sea ice loss. The project...
- This $156,128 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs will fund research at Oregon State University to understand massive phytoplankton blooms over the Australian-Antarctic Ridge. Over three years, the university will conduct collaborative research with satellite and ship-based measurements to study a poorly understood phytoplankton bloom in the northwestern Ross Sea sector of the Southern Ocean. Researchers will implement numerical models and target shipboard...
