Project Grant 2124838

This two-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Multidisciplinary Activities, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $200,000 to the University of California, Berkeley to study explanations for ambitious climate policy. The research will compare updated national climate targets and COVID-19 economic recovery packages across several countries to analyze the political and economic drivers of differences in climate...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA #47.075) program awarded Northwestern University a $100,000 Project Grant to plan for the creation of an interdisciplinary center that would study the social and behavioral aspects of climate change. The planning will involve meetings of experts from disciplines including psychology, sociology, and environmental science to explore how people receive, process, and respond to information about climate change....

This five-year, $622,775 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports research by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research's National Center for Atmospheric Research to generate actionable climate intervention scenarios. The research team will advance the scientific understanding of portfolio approaches combining mitigation, carbon dioxide removal, and solar radiation management strategies to limit global warming to 1.5...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $297,513 to George Mason University to conduct collaborative research on how scientific messages about environmental adaptation shape people's decisions, especially when their beliefs about the environment, politics, and other issues are closely connected. The project aims to clarify how some individuals embrace adaptation measures, such as flood-proofing homes...

This $301,719 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund research to develop flexible regression methods that can better measure the economic impacts of climate change. The research will focus on improving statistical techniques to accurately capture the effects of extreme temperature exposure on economic outcomes, which is critical for informing effective climate policy. The work will include...

This National Science Foundation Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant, awarded to the University of California, Davis on September 1, 2025 for $570,041, aims to develop a theoretical framework for assessing the value of climate model information to support decision-making for weather and climate risk management and adaptation. The researchers will apply an economic framework to quantify how different types of synthetic weather and climate information would lead to better or worse...

This five-year, $224,915 project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities' Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will fund research exploring combined climate intervention strategies for stakeholder use. A team of experts from climate science, engineering, behavioral science and ecology at Louisiana State University will advance the state of science on climate intervention scenarios that keep warming within 1.5 degrees Celsius. The researchers will...

This $599,998 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to estimate the emergence of anthropogenic climate change signals in snow water resource metrics in mountainous regions. Led by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, the project will use an innovative modeling framework including a large ensemble climate model and process-based hydrological modeling. It aims to strengthen understanding of when and how much climate change...

This three-year, $846,782 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the effect of future climate change on severe convective storms. The awardee, the University of Washington, will combine self-organized maps and idealized storm-scale simulations to examine how severe thunderstorms and tornadoes may change in a warmer climate. Researchers will first use data-based methods with climate model simulations to understand...

This $577,535 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports collaborative research to develop a theoretical framework for assessing the value of using climate model output to inform decision-making for weather and climate risk management and adaptation. The research applies an economic framework to quantify how different types of weather and climate information would lead to better or worse decisions across various sectors, such as...
