This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $360,000 to develop long tree-ring chronologies within and along the boundaries of the Great Plains region. The researchers, led by Columbia University, will use these tree-ring data to reconstruct past drought and moisture conditions over 500-1000 years, creating gridded reconstructions of spring/summer precipitation indices...
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...
This three-year, $379,702 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to develop long tree-ring chronologies within and along the boundaries of the Great Plains region. The chronologies will aid in the reconstruction of past drought and moisture conditions as part of the Great Plains Drought Atlas. Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, a regional primarily undergraduate institution, will work with students and partners in affected agricultural and tribal...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant under CFDA 47.050 (Geosciences) will advance understanding of global paleoclimate through the expansion of African dendrochronology (tree-ring analysis). The $319,165 award to Indiana State University, with a planned sub-award to Tall Timbers Research, Inc., aims to develop multi-century climate records from tree species in Zambia. The project will use tree ring width, wood anatomy, and radiocarbon measurements to create a gridded...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $800,670 will support research to extend tree-ring based reconstructions of Atlantic Gulf Basin hydroclimate over the Common Era. Led by the University of Arizona with completion expected by June 2025, the project aims to collect old-growth bald cypress and longleaf pine samples from trees harvested in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These extended tree-ring chronologies will be used to develop regional and seasonal hydroclimate...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences supports collaborative research to generate millennial-length reconstructions of sub-annual paleoclimate and extreme events in the Greater Yellowstone Ecoregion through tree-ring methodologies. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the $417,494 award to the University of Louisville runs from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. Key products include developing millennial-length...
This $211,743 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reduce uncertainties in tree-ring records of wet extremes to aid interpretations of past climate and plan for future changes. The primary objectives are to: Use dendrometers to measure how tree growth responds to changes in precipitation frequency, intensity, and timing at sites in the AmeriFlux network. Reconstruct wet extremes of precipitation from previously collected tree-ring...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $542,834 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research reconstructing Southern Rocky Mountains warm season temperatures over the past 2,000 years. The research aims to develop a temperature reconstruction using bristlecone pine from the Rio Grande headwaters region, augmented with updated hydroclimate reconstructions, to evaluate long-term regional temperature and hydroclimate...
This $377,096 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to assess current and future dust flux from the Northern Great Plains of the United States. The key objectives are to: 1) document drought and dust storm patterns in the Northern Great Plains during the 1930s Dust Bowl era, 2) measure the wind erosion potential of agricultural soils in the region using a portable wind tunnel, and 3) develop a modeling...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reduce uncertainties in tree-ring records of wet extremes to better interpret past climate and plan for future changes. The total funding amount is $324,677, with an award date of July 1, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2027. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Using dendrometers (instruments that record tree growth in real-time) to...
