- This $560,876 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will support collaborative research exploring interlinked physical, biological, and geochemical properties of seafloor sediments around Antarctica. Led by three early-career women principal investigators at the Colorado School of Mines, the research team will analyze archived marine sediment cores housed at Oregon State University to...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $132,303 project grant to Columbia University under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will support collaborative research to improve understanding of past variability in glaciation in the Weddell Embayment and Antarctic Peninsula regions. Eleven investigators from seven U.S. institutions and Argentine collaborators will study sediment cores from the International Ocean Discovery Program as well...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded the University of Texas at Austin $299,263 on September 1, 2026, under the Polar Programs assistance listing (CFDA 47.078) to develop integrated physical models of glacial isostatic adjustment in Antarctica that account for non-Newtonian mantle convection. The project addresses fundamental uncertainties in how the solid Earth deforms as large ice sheets change, investigating the coupling between mantle flow, ice sheet dynamics,...
- 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 Division of Polar Programs awarded the University of Washington $666,998 on September 1, 2026, under the Polar Programs assistance listing (CFDA 47.078) to investigate the causes, predictability, and implications of the recent decline in Antarctic sea ice and Southern Ocean warming. The project applies modeling approaches to understand why Antarctic sea ice cover reversed from a steady increase during 1979–2015 to rapid decline since 2015, and why the Southern...
- 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 University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography will receive $363,261 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs. The grant will fund collaborative research titled "Peripheral East Antarctic Ice as a Unique Recorder of Climate Variability During the Last Interglacial" from August 2021 through July 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of polar regions by expanding knowledge of climate...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $356,436 Project Grant to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to study the temperature history of Antarctica during the last ice age. The project aims to calibrate the water isotope thermometer in East Antarctica using an improved gas thermometer based on nitrogen and argon isotopes from air bubbles in ice cores. This will help predict the magnitude of future warming in...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $176,184 Project Grant to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, doing business as the Colorado School of Mines, to conduct collaborative research on improving projections of future Antarctic sea level rise. The key products and services under this CFDA 47.078 Polar Programs grant include: Integrating paleoglaciological observations from the Holocene period into an advanced ice sheet model (BISICLES) to establish the...
- 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...
