Professor Neil Humphrey Receives $1 Million in Grants for Greenland Research

Sept. 10, 2009 -- Professor Neil Humphrey recently received two $500,000 grants: One, from the National Science Foundation (NSF); and the second, from a consortium of northern countries (Canada, Sweden and Finland) to fund research in Greenland that will help investigate basal conditions on the ice sheet. This will be the first ever major drilling effort to directly measure water flow and ice sliding underneath the Greenland ice sheet.
