- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded Morgan State University $187,975 on September 1, 2026, to conduct collaborative research constraining Greenland glacier dynamics using 1940s historical aerial photography. The project will digitize and analyze unprocessed aerial photographs taken by the U.S. military over Greenland in the 1940s and 1950s, currently held as film negatives by the U.S. National Archives. Of hundreds of thousands of historical photographs collected...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of Colorado $414,127 on April 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate the interactions of glacial isostatic adjustment and plate tectonic processes. The research will develop a mantle viscosity model consistent with observations of sea level, glacial-isostatic-adjustment-induced crustal motion and gravity change, subducted slab structures, and geoid anomalies above subduction zones. The...
- The University of Colorado Boulder was awarded a two-year, $272,225 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to synthesize historical records to constrain and understand great sea ice anomalies. The grant was awarded on November 1, 2021 under the NSF's Polar Programs, which aims to strengthen fundamental polar research conducted in or requiring work in polar regions (CFDA #47.078). Specifically, the University will leverage historical observations and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $990,272 project grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in New York City to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GRATE - INTEGRATING DATA AND MODELING TO QUANTIFY RATES OF GREENLAND ICE SHEET CHANGE, HOLOCENE TO FUTURE." The period of performance for this research is from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2025. The research aims to strengthen understanding of the Greenland Ice Sheet and its response to...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded $343,679 to the University of Massachusetts under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to conduct collaborative research examining tectonic influences on Greenland Ice Sheet (GRIS) stability. The award, effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2029, supports the development of advanced integrated modeling frameworks that combine ice-sheet, atmospheric, and geologic constraints to evaluate...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded $846,287 to the Research Foundation of The City University of New York (doing business as RFCUNY - Queens College) on September 1, 2026, under the Polar Programs assistance listing (CFDA 47.078) to investigate controls on marine-terminating outlet glacier stability in Southwest Alaska. The research will use geologic mapping, cosmogenic nuclide surface exposure dating, and ice sheet modeling to determine how the Cordilleran Ice...
- This $1,237,840 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under CFDA Program 47.078, will fund research by the University of Colorado to quantify climate variability and extremes over the past 100,000 years. The research team will use high-resolution measurements from ancient polar ice cores to statistically analyze changes in climate variability and the frequency of extreme events as the Earth's average climate has fluctuated over...
- This $155,602 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will fund research to improve understanding of outlet glacier dynamics in Greenland. The University of Alaska Southeast will collaborate with other researchers to analyze new field observations and satellite data on runoff-driven and terminus-driven velocity variations at a large marine-terminating outlet glacier. Multivariate statistical...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $2.8 million project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University for the period of October 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026. The project aims to map changes in Greenland resulting from ice thinning and explore emerging landslide and hazard risks. Researchers will integrate local observations from Greenlandic communities with remote sensing data to understand how hazards evolve over time. Advanced...
