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...
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 $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...
The University of Arizona was awarded a $471,704 project grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--HIGH-RESOLUTION RECONSTRUCTION OF LAST MILLENNIUM NORTH AMERICAN ARCTIC TEMPERATURES USING QUANTITATIVE WOOD ANATOMY." The grant was awarded on August 1, 2021 under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050) and will be completed by July 31, 2024. Through this funding, researchers at the University of Arizona will work to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $192,386 Project Grant through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Arizona for a 3-year collaborative research project to reconstruct tropical rainfall patterns over the last 200 years. The project aims to use stable oxygen isotopes measured in tree ring cellulose from sites across Central and South America to study variations in the position and width of the Intertropical Convergence Zone and understand how these changes...
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 $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 three-year, $1,135,926 National Science Foundation project grant funds research to reconcile hydroclimate model projections and geologic data from a warmer period in the past to improve understanding of future water availability in the Southwestern United States. The awardee, Colorado State University, will collect new stable isotope data from sedimentary carbonates in New Mexico spanning the Middle Miocene Climate Optimum. Analysis of existing climate model simulations will differentiate...
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 $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...
