Project Grant 2040594
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $183,248 Project Grant under CFDA Program 47.050 - Geosciences to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF) at SUNY Oswego. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MESOSCALE PREDICTABILITY ACROSS CLIMATE REGIMES", aims to understand whether severe storms and associated weather hazards, such as tornadoes, hail, and flooding, can be better predicted as the Earth's climate warms. The research will involve...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $358,976 to Hobart & William Smith Colleges to conduct collaborative research on microplastic sources, transport, and environmental impact across the Finger Lakes watershed in New York. The 3-year project offers mentored research opportunities for college sophomores, who will learn to design research projects, collect field data, and analyze microplastic samples using advanced equipment....
- Hamilton College was awarded a $132,318 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant supports collaborative research to quantify seasonal variability in East African hydroclimate for humid intervals during the last 200,000 years in the Omo-Turkana Basin region. The research aims to strengthen fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, as outlined in the objectives of the...
- This is a National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $1,010,185 with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029. The award was made to Cornell University to conduct research that applies extreme event attribution methodologies to quantify the influence of stratospheric variability, such as sudden stratospheric warmings, on the likelihood and severity of subseasonal extreme weather events like cold air...
- This $254,882 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research investigating the sensitivity of reactive halogen abundance to glacial-interglacial climate change. Over a three-year period ending June 2025, the University of Rochester will examine how blowing snow on sea ice may explain increased sodium ion observations in ice cores over glacial-interglacial timescales. The project will also identify major drivers for reactive halogen...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded $199,997 to SUNY Broome Community College on July 15, 2025, under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to support a two-year research project extending through June 30, 2027. The project, titled "EMBRACE-EAR-SEED: Refining Paleotemperature Interpretations," delivers fundamental research products focused on understanding how fluid inclusions trapped in halite (salt) crystals...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $409,127 provides funding from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026 to support collaborative research on hurricane risk amplification and changing North Atlantic natural disasters. The award is made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the funding will support research examining hurricanes...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded $480,175 to Colby College on September 1, 2026, under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) for a collaborative research project examining the impacts of toxic dust emissions from the Great Salt Lake on agricultural and ecosystem health. The three-year project, scheduled for completion by August 31, 2029, will investigate how wind-blown dust containing heavy metals such as arsenic and...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $215,151 to develop records of hydroclimate variability in the southeastern United States from the middle Holocene to present day. The Research Foundation for the State University of New York at the University at Albany will lead collaborative research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth,...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary Cornell University received a $1.2M project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (Geosciences Program, CFDA 47.050) effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2030, to conduct fundamental research on extreme precipitation events and their impacts on critical infrastructure. The project addresses three core research questions: precipitation distribution dependencies across spatial and temporal scales,...
Hobart & William Smith Colleges was awarded a $514,733 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation to research multi-scale interactions influencing lake-effect systems from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2024. Under this award, the awardee will conduct basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, as outlined in the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Specifically, the awardee will analyze interactions across different scales that influence lake-effect snowstorm systems, providing new insights into atmospheric and hydrologic processes. The place of performance is Geneva, New York, where the awardee is located. The three-year period of performance will allow for in-depth analysis of lake-effect systems to further the goals of the Geosciences program.
