- 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 Texas A&M University $196,552 on August 1, 2026, under the Polar Programs assistance listing (CFDA 47.078) to support collaborative research on the sensitivity of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to 2 degrees Celsius warming (SWAIS 2C). The award funds collection and analysis of geological, glaciological, and geophysical data from West Antarctica to develop improved climate and ice sheet numerical models that predict the ice...
- This $377,603 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research by the University of Colorado to investigate the effects of transient and non-Newtonian mantle viscosity on glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) processes and their implications for GPS observations in Antarctica. The project aims to build an accurate and efficient computer model to study the displacement and deformation of the Antarctic crust and mantle in response to...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded the University of South Florida $549,921 on September 1, 2026, under the Polar Programs assistance listing (CFDA 47.078) to reconstruct ocean temperatures and glacier variability in East Antarctica over the past four million years. Researchers will analyze sediment cores from the seafloor offshore the Sabrina and Knox coasts of Wilkes Land to develop chemical records revealing past ocean temperature and glacier...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $184,798 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (Stony Brook University) to conduct collaborative research on temporal variations in glacial and subglacial structures of Antarctica. The research aims to better understand how seismic properties within and beneath the Antarctic ice sheets change over time, which can provide insights into ice sheet dynamics and responses to...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $218,256 Project Grant to Texas A&M University to support collaborative research linking marine and terrestrial sedimentary evidence for variability in glaciation of the Weddell Embayment and Antarctic Peninsula regions. The three-year award beginning September 1, 2021 will fund analysis of sediment cores to strengthen understanding of Pliocene-Pleistocene climate dynamics in Antarctica under the NSF's Polar Programs...
- 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...
