- 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 Office of International Science and Engineering awarded the University of California Irvine $412,004 on September 15, 2026, under the Office of International Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.079) to assess decadal variability of sea ice at both poles through the NSF/GEO-UKRI/NERC Lead Agency Opportunity. This joint US/UK project will improve understanding of why polar sea ice changes over decades and how future changes can be projected more reliably. The...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded $749,828 to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego to advance coupled atmosphere-ocean-sea ice modeling for the Antarctic region. The project, which commenced September 1, 2025, and concludes August 31, 2028, will deliver enhanced numerical models and scientific analyses that improve the representation of atmospheric cloud physics,...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $269,022 to support research aimed at improving ice shelf instability and breakup modeling. Specifically, the University of California, Los Angeles will develop a new component for the continental-scale Ice Sheet and Sea Level System Model to simulate surface meltwater-induced flexure, fracture, and large-scale ice shelf breakup. To achieve...
- 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...
- 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 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'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...
- The University of California Santa Cruz received a three-year, $679,267 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078).
