Brown University was awarded a three-year, $298,664 project grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--WESTERN UNITED STATES HYDROCLIMATE DURING THE LAST INTERGLACIAL: DEVELOPING PROXY RECORDS AND USING MODEL INTERCOMPARISON TO GLIMPSE THE FUTURE." The grant was awarded on September 1, 2021 under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen the national scientific enterprise.
Specifically, Brown University will use the funding to develop proxy records of hydroclimate in the western U.S. during the last interglacial period and compare those records through modeling to better understand potential future hydroclimate changes. The research aims to provide insight into hydroclimate under different forcing scenarios to support scientific understanding and planning for climate change impacts. The three-year project period will allow for collection and analysis of proxy data, as well as model intercomparison, to glean lessons from ancient analogs of a warming world.
