Key Information: Applicants working outside their home country must include a team member from the project country.
Description
Arête Glacier Initiative seeks bold, creative early-stage research into technologies that could slow or stabilize vulnerable glaciers. This RFP focuses on interventions at the base of glaciers, including water extraction, thermosyphon cooling, and other basal approaches. It does not prescribe a single technology.
The Initiative is a nonprofit research initiative concerned with the risks of catastrophic sea-level rise driven by ice-sheet instability. Its funding principles emphasize measurable outcomes, scientific rigor, innovation, and potential for broader application. Proposed work should explain its research question, methods, expected outcomes, and relevance to glacier stabilization.
