This Project Grant award of $560,589, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a research project titled "CAREER: MECHANISMS OF HOLOCENE RAINFALL CHANGE IN THE NORTHERN TROPICAL AMERICAS". The primary goals are to: 1) Reconstruct Holocene hydroclimate and vegetation change in Central America and Northern South America using leaf wax data from sediment cores; 2) Synthesize multiple proxy records to identify spatial and temporal patterns...
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....
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences totals $471,434 to support research entitled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--FINGERPRINTING FORCED AND UNFORCED VARIABILITY IN HOLOCENE PALEOCLIMATE RECORD." The funding assists the Geosciences program, which aims to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the University of...

This Project Grant will support research aimed at developing a physical model to assess the sensitivity of mountain river channels to shifts in climate and associated hazards. Specifically, the grant will fund 1) analysis of high-resolution topography and sediment transport data to establish baseline...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a $287,144 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will fund a collaborative research project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: AN INTEGRATED MODEL-PROXY APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING WESTERN US HYDROCLIMATE CHANGE SINCE THE LAST GLACIAL PERIOD" from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $274,166 Project Grant to Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the linkages between glacio-climatic, hydrothermal, and volcanic processes in the central Andes from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2025. Specifically, the research aims to establish spatial and temporal relationships between glacier fluctuations including deglaciation and the onset of hydrothermal and/or volcanic activity through...
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...
