Project Grant 0943346

This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431) provides $960,000 to develop a prototype climate service system that will deliver information on climate-related risks to decision-makers across various sectors. The award period is from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2028. The proposed system will leverage existing infrastructure and new cloud-based platforms to provide climate...

The Southeast Climate & Energy Network Inc. was awarded a $100,000 cooperative agreement from the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431) to capture local climate knowledge for future research in the Southeastern United States. The two-year award running from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2023 will support efforts to develop the knowledge required to establish a predictive capability for short...

This $696,515 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research and outreach on variations in the pace of surface temperature change. The awardee, University of California Santa Cruz, will conduct statistical analysis of global climate observations to identify regions and periods with accelerated warming rates over the past two centuries. Model simulations will determine the causes of detected changes and quantify future warming rates...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to understand tropical rainfall patterns in northern South America during the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs. The $349,971 award to Brown University will fund measurements of chemical signals in a sediment core to reconstruct past rainfall, which will provide insights into the hydrological cycle during times of sustained global warmth similar to projected...

This federal Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) provides $164,158 to North Carolina State University to advance the utility of regional climate modeling for understanding the impacts of extreme temperatures on human and ecosystem health in the U.S. Caribbean and Southeast U.S. The primary activities include developing regional climate data to fill gaps and better support climate adaptation decisions, leveraging...

This three-year, $830,233 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research examining the impact of greenhouse gas-induced global warming on tropical cyclones in the Pacific region. The Columbia University research team, in collaboration with sub-awardee The Trustees of Columbia University, will utilize flux adjustment techniques and high-resolution atmospheric modeling to simulate the response of key ocean temperature patterns to...

Federal Cooperative Agreement Summary The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $150,664 Cooperative Agreement under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, operating as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), for the period May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2028. Under this award, NCAR will develop and deliver a set of Process-Oriented Diagnostics (PODs) designed to evaluate African...

This $172,778 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to test climate model predictions of hydrologic change in the tropical Atlantic during a past warm period. Specifically, the awardee, Utah State University, will geochemically analyze oxygen isotopes and magnesium-to-calcium ratios in planktonic foraminifera from deep-sea sediment cores at several sites, including Ocean Drilling Project Site...

This is a 2-year, $369,330 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program. The project aims to develop a geospatial land change model that can accurately simulate future urbanization patterns in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, despite population decline driven by economic and climate stressors in these regions. The key activities and deliverables under this award include: (1)...

This $440,785 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Miami to model how El Niño-Southern Oscillation patterns may change under future climate conditions and how those changes could alter related terrestrial impacts across North America. Over a three-year period ending in October 2025, the grantee will use sophisticated computer simulations to systematically test scenarios of potential ENSO variability and...
