Project Grant SNO60013GR042

This $184,750 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will support the Interdisciplinary Antarctic Earth Science Conference in 2022 and 2024. The Conference and associated planning workshop will bring together U.S. researchers from bio-, cryo-, geo- and atmospheric sciences conducting Antarctic research. Over a 2.5 day hybrid format, the Conference will facilitate collaboration and data sharing...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $1,250,000 Project Grant under the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469) to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) to develop and launch a climate impact initiative. This initiative aims to drive action, education, and scientific research focused on addressing the climate crisis and its environmental, economic, ethical, social, and psychological dimensions. The project will leverage...

This Project Grant award of $327,242 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the NOAA Mission-Related Education Awards (CFDA 11.008) program will support the following key products and services: Provide 32 hours of professional development to 15 teachers in three low-income, majority-minority school districts to increase student climate literacy, student-led decision making, and student-determined climate action projects. Deliver an 8-hour eco-art adventure to the...

This Project Grant award, worth $905,118, was provided by the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under CFDA Program 47.078 to the University of Rhode Island Research Office. The funding will support a collaborative research project examining how the chemistry of fossil diatoms (a type of plankton) can be used as proxies to reconstruct past changes in ocean nutrients and biological productivity, which are linked to global climate change. The research will involve field...

This $204,278 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support research by the University of Chicago to investigate how Arctic sea ice attenuation affects ocean swell, microseisms, and the potential to use seismology as a method for observing sea ice conditions. The key activities include: Analyzing seismic data from stations along the northern coasts of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland to detect seasonal and annual changes in microseisms as a...

The Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) received a three-year, $738,511 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct collaborative research on climate change impacts to marine bird and mammal populations in South Georgia during winter months. This award will support research under the NSF's Polar Programs, which aims to expand fundamental knowledge of polar regions through basic scientific research conducted on-site or...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $100,956.00 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York to conduct collaborative research investigating southern ocean sea surface temperatures and freshening during the late Pliocene and Pleistocene along the Antarctic margin. The objective is to generate multi-proxy paleoclimate records of sea surface temperature and meltwater during deglacial and...

This $477,793 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) funds a research project at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to investigate the impacts of climate change on the biological carbon pump in the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) region. The goal of the project is to develop a novel hybrid modeling framework that integrates observational data from long-term research programs with advanced artificial intelligence and...

This federal Cooperative Agreement award for $228,133.00, provided by the National Park Service (NPS) under the Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System (CFDA 15.945) program, will support several key objectives: Integrate climate change considerations into the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Program (IMD) to provide climate exposure metrics and impact analyses to inform the Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment (CCVA) and adaptation planning across the...

This $374,473 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Park Service under the Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System (CFDA 15.945) program to Conservation Science Partners, Inc. supports a collaborative research project to investigate the impacts of climate change on aquatic ecosystems in National Park units. The key activities under this project include assessing trends and drivers of climate impacts on stream temperatures, estimating thermal...
