The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $608,923 Project Grant to the University of Washington to conduct collaborative research on identifying biases in climate models' representation of poleward heat transport, a critical physical process governing global temperature patterns and variability. The research will focus on evaluating three key aspects: 1) how climate models partition poleward heat transport between the atmosphere and ocean compared...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $516,085 will fund research to constrain variability in North Pacific marine heatwaves during the late Pliocene epoch from 2.6 to 3.6 million years ago. The award was made on July 15, 2022 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support basic research in earth sciences. Specifically, the University of Washington will use element-to-calcium ratios in individual foraminifera to generate sea surface temperature distributions and extract...
The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Oregon $335,652 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the project "Constraining the Physics that Regulate Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity through Simulation of Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and Eocene Paleoclimates." The one-year project beginning October 1, 2022 seeks to investigate causes and magnitude of Earth's equilibrium climate sensitivity through developing new simulations of the Last Glacial Maximum and Eocene...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $213,571 will support research to constrain variability in North Pacific marine heatwaves during the late Pliocene epoch from 2.6 to 3.6 million years ago. Funded under the Geosciences program, which aims to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research, key products include reconstructed distributions of sea surface temperature and characterization of marine heatwave behavior in the North Pacific during the...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $562,097 to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. to advance understanding of atmospheric energetics and the vertical variation of energy dissipation near the surface. Specifically, the awardee will conduct field experiments to directly observe non-hydrostatic energy transfer and dissipation processes. They will also investigate hydrostatic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $312,259 to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to conduct collaborative research on the last interglacial period approximately 130,000 to 115,000 years ago, when temperatures were naturally warmer than today. The project aims to better understand when and how much the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets melted during this period, as well as the climate conditions and ice dynamical...
This three-year, $520,660 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to constrain cloud and convective parameterizations in climate models using paleoclimate data assimilation. Specifically, the awardee, the University of Arizona, will conduct fully coupled, isotope-enabled climate simulations for the Last Glacial Maximum, Mid-Holocene, and pre-industrial periods using an ensemble of cloud and convective parameter sets. Paleoclimate...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences totals $471,434 to support research entitled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--FINGERPRINTING FORCED AND UNFORCED VARIABILITY IN HOLOCENE PALEOCLIMATE RECORD." The funding assists the Geosciences program, which aims to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the University of...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $267,901 will fund research into the response of the upper tropical Pacific Ocean to greenhouse gas forcing from August 15, 2022 through July 31, 2025. The award was made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grant will support a collaborative research effort examining how the temperature, currents, and thermal structure of the upper tropical...
