The National Science Foundation awarded a $440,059 project grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for research activities under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support improved understanding of the moist dynamics of extratropical storm tracks and their response to climate change from February 2021 through January 2024. As part of its mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system, the Geosciences program aims to increase understanding of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences through basic research support. MIT will leverage the three-year funding period to advance knowledge of extratropical storm behavior and sensitivity to climate fluctuations through its work performed in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
