SYNOPSIS
The Antarctic Glaciology Program(AG) program supports field, laboratory, remote sensing and modeling projects to understand the history and dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves. Work on previously collected data and ice-core samples is encouraged. Proposers should investigate the utility of existing samples available from individual researchers and repositories such as the National Ice Core Laboratory (NICL) and the Antarctic and Arctic Data Consortium (A2DC).
Emphasis areas include but are not limited to:
- Analyzing newly drilled or existing Antarctic ice-cores to advance knowledge of global environmental change;
- Using ground-based measurements, remotely sensed data, and numerical modeling of ice sheets, glaciers, and ice streams to advance understanding of ice-sheet dynamics and subglacial hydrology;
- Studying the evolution of glacial activity over the last few million years, as preserved in land-based sediments and exposed in outcrops;
- Organizing planning activities for future ice-core drilling programs.
