- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded $782,557 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York on August 1, 2025, for a CAREER project addressing dimensionality reduction of glacier and ice-sheet processes using deep learning. The primary deliverable is the development and evaluation of three high-efficiency artificial intelligence (AI)-based modules that represent complex glacier processes for integration...
- This $325,213 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York will investigate the role of meltwater in governing the geophysical properties of deforming icy systems. The project aims to create new flow laws that explicitly incorporate the effects of meltwater on ice flow, which is a key factor in modeling glacial mass loss and sea level rise. The research will employ...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded $287,230 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York at Binghamton effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2028. This collaborative research project investigates moisture-driven mechanisms of Antarctic ice sheet growth during the Miocene Climate Optimum (approximately 17 to 14.8 million years ago). The primary deliverables include advanced climate and ice...
- This $452,989 National Science Foundation (NSF) award, funded through the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) grant program, supports a collaborative research project to investigate the disappearance of the Laurentide Ice Sheet over the last 20,000+ years. The researchers at Columbia University will use a state-of-the-art ice sheet and sea-level model to simulate the complete retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, which once covered much of North America. This research aims to better understand the...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary Dartmouth College received a $922,103 CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2030. The award supports fundamental research to improve understanding of subglacial hydrology and its impact on glacier ice dynamics and sea-level rise projections. The primary deliverables include: (1) characterization of subglacial effective pressures and frozen fringe thicknesses...
- This $1.95 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), awarded September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2029, supports collaborative research to quantify ice-ocean interaction physics at Greenland's marine-terminating glaciers. Oregon State University serves as the prime recipient, with a collaborative sub-award to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The project integrates direct field measurements of submarine melt rates and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $180,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Dr. Marion McKenzie of Colorado School of Mines. The two-year award beginning September 2023 will support pairing onshore and offshore observations to better understand the dynamics of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet during the last deglaciation approximately 20,000 years ago. Dr. McKenzie will leverage sedimentology, geochronology, geophysics, and glaciology techniques to constrain the...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded Columbia University $561,300 on June 15, 2025, to conduct paleoceanographic research examining sea ice and freshwater dynamics in the East Greenland Current during the Younger Dryas period (11.7-12.9 thousand years ago). The project, which extends through May 31, 2028, will utilize existing marine sediment cores to reconstruct historical sea ice and freshwater changes and evaluate the...
- 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...
- This $204,782 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to determine when and how quickly the Cordilleran Ice Sheet in western Canada disappeared since the end of the last ice age. The project will create a 3-D reconstruction of the ice sheet's collapse by collecting and dating rock samples across the region. This data will be used in computer models to simulate the ice sheet's past...
