| E014042- variability of the northern north atlantic sea surface salinity and the role of arctic freshwater transport. | Science | June 3, 2022 | $504,500 |
| Rationale: the antarctic ice sheet loses meteoric ice by basal melting and production of large tabular and smaller sliver icebergs from its ice shelves. Averaged over several decades the calving flux is about 50% of total ice sheet loss but is high | Science | July 13, 2021 | $503,541 |

| Objective: antarctic sea ice extent (SIE) has experienced a small but significant positive trend over the era for which measurements of sea ice concentration are available (1979-PRESENT). This trend is contrary to most global indicators of ice extent and mass change and is also contrary to predictio | Science | November 5, 2020 | $224,398 |

| Near-surface salinity stratification has been a topic of ongoing research particularly for the calibration and validation of aquarius/ sac-d and smap satellite data.
