Description
Arête Frontier Grants support bold, innovative ideas that advance Arête Glacier Initiative’s mission of understanding and mitigating catastrophic sea-level-rise risks driven by ice-sheet instability. The nonprofit initiative welcomes proposals across a broad range of disciplines, approaches, and methods, with the challenge itself defining the program’s priorities.
The program encourages creative, independent thinking rather than prescribing research topics or favoring particular methodologies. Projects should contribute to understanding ice-sheet instability or addressing the associated risks of catastrophic sea-level rise. A required pre-application allows Arête to assess mission alignment and identify projects to invite for full submission.
