- The National Science Foundation awarded a $269,223 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin from the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) to support research titled "Collaborative Research: Machine-Enabled Modeling of Terminus Ablation for Greenland's Outlet Glaciers." The research aims to improve projections of sea-level rise from Greenland through developing physics-based modeling of ice-ocean interactions at outlet glaciers using machine learning analysis...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,281,805 Project Grant under its Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to the University of Texas at Austin. The grant, effective January 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026, aims to collect observations from the fronts of three Greenland outlet glaciers to determine if sediment deposition at the ice-ocean boundary is responsible for observed variability in glacier retreat. The project will measure sedimentation rates and processes, as well as monitor...
- 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 The Regents of the University of Colorado $503,299 on September 1, 2026, under the Polar Programs assistance listing (CFDA 47.078) to digitize and analyze historical aerial photographs of Greenland outlet glaciers held by the U.S. National Archives and reconstruct past glacier surface elevations using structure-from-motion photogrammetry and high-resolution satellite ground control data. The project will process film negatives...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded $372,486.00 to Trustees of Tufts College for a collaborative research project addressing ice-ocean interaction physics at marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland. The four-year project, initiated September 1, 2025 and concluding August 31, 2029, integrates direct field measurements of submarine melt rates and near-ice boundary-layer dynamics with numerical modeling to improve...
- 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...
- 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...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The University of Texas at Austin received a $370,228 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) beginning September 1, 2025 and concluding August 31, 2028. This collaborative research initiative investigates moisture-driven ice sheet growth mechanisms during the Miocene Climate Optimum (17-14.8 million years ago) to improve understanding of how increased high-latitude snowfall may offset Antarctic ice sheet...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award of $497,704 to the University of Washington supports a collaborative research study called the "GREENFJORD-FIBER" project. The goal of this project is to use advanced instrumentation, including distributed temperature sensing (DTS) and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) systems, to better understand how Greenlandic glaciers interact with the ocean, particularly the processes by which icebergs detach...
- 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...
