- This $270,754 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program supports collaborative research to investigate the impacts of the ongoing megadrought in the American West on soil moisture, ecosystem carbon-water cycling, and remote sensing capabilities. The research team, led by the Trustees of Indiana University, will synthesize hundreds of long-term soil moisture measurements with remotely-sensed data and eddy covariance tower observations to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $582,109 to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to research the role of land-atmosphere interactions in the development of flash droughts. The project aims to characterize flash droughts, investigate the impact of atmospheric conditions and land-surface feedback, and explore land-atmosphere interactions through climate modeling. The research seeks to improve forecasting of...
- This $185,453 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports collaborative research to quantify shifts in maize production in North America over the past 1,200 years. The research leverages paleoclimate data, weather modeling, and crop simulation techniques to understand the impacts of historical megadroughts and climate change on food production. Key activities include developing open-source software for climate field...
- This two-year, $188,177 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund the development of new techniques for mapping and monitoring plant drought stress using repeat hyperspectral data. The University of California, Santa Barbara will link detailed measurements of plant drought stress, water use, and water sources to remotely sensed data on plant water content. This will identify areas of drought resilience and vulnerability during an...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $480,484 supports research to understand drought and post-drought legacy effects in tropical forests. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of California, Los Angeles will leverage a large-scale drought experiment in an Amazon forest in Brazil. Researchers will integrate high-resolution tower-based radar data measuring vegetation water content at finer scales than satellites. This will be compared with plant...
- This $198,435 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project titled "P4CLIMATE--A Paleo Perspective on the Links Between Climate and Food Security." The project will quantitatively assess shifts in maize production in North America over the past 1,200 years by merging paleoclimate, weather generation, and crop modeling data. This research aims to understand the impacts of prolonged droughts,...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $472,614 to Cornell University from July 2022 through June 2026 to study the impacts of severe drought on tropical forest post-disturbance recovery. Specifically, the researchers are conducting a rainfall manipulation experiment in a forest in Puerto Rico that is recovering from Hurricane Maria in 2017. The project aims to characterize and predict forest resilience to climate change by...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a $216,562 collaborative research project between the University of Southern California (USC) and George Mason University to characterize hydroclimate changes over Western North America and Europe in response to the global warmth of the Middle Miocene period (around 15 million years ago). The project aims to understand how water availability may change in a warming climate by investigating...
- Federal Grant Award Summary Iowa State University of Science and Technology received a $214,790 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2028. The primary deliverable is a comprehensive 1,000-year paleoclimate reconstruction of the Austral-Asian monsoon system synthesizing existing proxy data from stalagmites, corals, and tree rings, supplemented...
- This National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $381,192 to the University of Missouri System from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The funding will support development of tree ring chronologies from juniper, pine, and taxodium trees within and near the Great Plains to reconstruct past seasonal precipitation, soil moisture balance, and drought over the region from the Medieval period to present. Researchers will produce five gridded reconstructions at...
