This three-year, $396,260 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of tree-ring chronologies and climate reconstructions for the Great Plains region. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the researchers from the University of Arkansas will construct five gridded reconstructions spanning the Great Plains at 0.5 degree resolution, including the Standardized Precipitation Index for spring and summer seasons, precipitation totals for spring and summer, and...
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 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 $195,606 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project titled "The North American Temperature Atlas - A Climate Field Reconstruction for Investigating Effects of Temperature on Past Droughts." The primary objective is to compile new and existing tree-ring temperature reconstruction data into a gridded "North American Temperature Atlas" (NATA) to analyze the relationship...
This $147,279 Project Grant award by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the collaborative research project titled "The North American Temperature Atlas - A Climate Field Reconstruction for Investigating Effects of Temperature on Past Droughts." The primary goal is to compile new and existing tree-ring temperature reconstruction data from across North America into a gridded "North American Temperature Atlas" (NATA). This...
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...
This $377,096 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research initiative to assess current and future dust flux from the Northern Great Plains in the United States. The research team will leverage historical weather data, aerial photography, and wind tunnel experiments to document drought conditions and wind erosion potential in the Northern Great Plains, an area devastated by the 1930s Dust Bowl. The goal is to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $424,095 provides funding to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct collaborative research on drought patterns in West Africa. The primary objectives are to: Collect paleoclimate samples from tree species in Ghana and Senegal through yearly field schools to reconstruct past hydroclimate variability and drought patterns. This will help characterize natural drought...
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...
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...
