Northern Arizona University will receive $390,528 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to reconstruct temperature and hydroclimate trends in the Southern Rocky Mountains over the past 2,000 years. The university will develop new temperature reconstructions using bristlecone pine samples from the Rio Grande Headwaters region, augmented with updated hydroclimate reconstructions. Researchers will address how temperature influences runoff efficiency during droughts and wet periods over time. Engagement with Rio Grande water stakeholders will aim to apply paleoclimate findings to water resource management concerns. The grant supports a postdoctoral researcher and interactions between scientists and managers in the Southwest region important to the foundation's mission of expanding earth science knowledge.
