The Regents of the University of Colorado received a three-year, $388,538 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation to support the research project "P2C2: Bayesian Detection of Holocene Abrupt Transitions in Proxy Records and Climate Model Simulations." The grant was awarded on September 1, 2021 with a completion date of August 31, 2024.
Under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research, the University of Colorado will utilize Bayesian statistical methods to detect abrupt climate changes over the past 12,000 years by analyzing proxy climate records and comparing them to climate model simulations. The research seeks to advance knowledge of abrupt transitions in Earth's climate both prior to and since major human activities began contributing to current warming trends.
