The University of Pittsburgh received a $437,358 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to conduct collaborative research titled "A CONTINUOUS 60,000 YEAR SEDIMENT RECORD DOCUMENTING ABRUPT TO PRECESSION-SCALE CLIMATE CHANGE AND ECOSYSTEM RESPONSE AT FISH LAKE UT, UPPER CO RIVER BASIN." The research will be performed from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024 under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a 3-year, $461,546 Project Grant to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct collaborative research on a 50,000-year continuous record of the Indian Summer Monsoon from Loktak Lake in northeast India. The project aims to improve understanding of the relative importance of factors like greenhouse gas concentrations, ocean circulation patterns, and climate variability in driving gradual and abrupt changes in the Indian...
The University of Michigan will receive $331,413 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to develop precipitation, evaporation and temperature records from tropical lake sediments and cave deposits for the last 700,000 years. The grant will support basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $277,175 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will fund the development of precipitation, evaporation and temperature records from tropical lake sediments and cave deposits for the last 700,000 years. This work supports the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth,...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $142,947 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on July 15, 2021 to support research investigating inter-hemispheric phasing of tropical Andean hydroclimate in response to Holocene orbital forcing. The grant will fund a collaborative research project through June 30, 2024 examining how changes in the Earth's orbit and axis have impacted tropical South American climate over the past 12,000 years....
The Trustees of Union College in Schenectady, New York will receive $541,186 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will support the development of precipitation, evaporation and temperature records from tropical lake sediments and cave deposits for the last 700,000 years. This work directly aligns with the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $192,386 Project Grant through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Arizona for a 3-year collaborative research project to reconstruct tropical rainfall patterns over the last 200 years. The project aims to use stable oxygen isotopes measured in tree ring cellulose from sites across Central and South America to study variations in the position and width of the Intertropical Convergence Zone and understand how these changes...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $198,753 project grant to Carnegie Mellon University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct interdisciplinary research on tropical glacierized volcanoes as sentinels of global change. The project aims to determine how climate change is driving glacier retreat on Andean volcanoes in the inner tropics, and how this is triggering impacts on water supply, vegetation, and elemental cycling in these ecologically...
This Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research on reconstructing past climate variability in the Southern Caribbean region. The $146,581 award to Princeton University will fund a project that uses coral and speleothem (cave) carbonates as climate proxies to generate long-term records of local temperature and hydroclimate changes since the Last Glacial Maximum. The...
