- 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...
- This $780,179 Project Grant award by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to the University of Wisconsin System will fund a research project to investigate the movement of water at the ice-bed interface of glaciers and ice sheets. The project will utilize a combination of laboratory and theoretical approaches to (1) develop a model of distributed water flow in the bed-till aperture and within the till, (2) analyze the conditions that determine whether...
- The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) awarded a $922,103 Project Grant to Trustees of Dartmouth College to conduct research aimed at improving understanding of how water moves beneath glaciers and ice sheets. The five-year project, running from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2030, will focus on three main research objectives: 1) characterizing subglacial effective pressures and frozen fringe thicknesses, 2) modeling the impact of frozen fringe growth and...
- This $304,007 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in using the Ice Sheet and Sea-level System Model (ISSM) to investigate the disappearance of the Laurentide Ice Sheet over the last 20,000+ years. The research aims to provide quantitative estimates of how the percentage of dynamic mass loss versus surface mass balance evolved over the course of the Laurentide Ice Sheet's...
- 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...
- This $354,576 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a postdoctoral research project at Cornell University to investigate the potential impacts of brine firn aquifers on the stability of Antarctic ice shelves. The project aims to: (1) map the extent of brine aquifers across Antarctic ice shelves using airborne ice-penetrating radar data; (2) estimate the liquid water volume in these aquifers; (3) determine how seawater infiltrates the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant, awarded on January 1, 2026 for $343,679.00, aims to evaluate the stability of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GRIS) under different environmental conditions. The project will develop new, self-consistent models of the solid-earth structure beneath Greenland by combining geophysical observations from multiple networks, including a new seismic deployment in central-eastern Greenland. The new solid-earth constraints will...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $371,742 to the University of Washington from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. The funding will support development of a new modeling component for the continental-scale Ice Sheet and Sea Level System Model (ISSM). This new component aims to simulate surface meltwater-induced flexure, fracture, and large-scale ice shelf break-up in...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $899,544 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to leverage emergent climate model evaluation techniques to reduce uncertainty in regional climate change projections, particularly related to the water cycle. This 3-year project will focus on applying these methods to high-resolution climate model simulations of the western United...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports collaborative research on the influence of tectonic forces on the Greenland Ice Sheet (GRIS). The $174,352 award to Central Washington University (CWU) will develop new models of the solid-earth structure beneath Greenland by integrating geophysical data from multiple seismic networks. These improved solid-earth constraints will then be incorporated into a coupled...
