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 $267,007 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant will fund a collaborative research project at Alabama A&M University to reconstruct a 250-300 year record of rainfall extremes and Amazon River water level fluctuations in the Eastern Amazon region. The project aims to use tree-ring data from Cedrela odorata and historical records to determine if recent flood and drought events are within the natural range of climate variability or attributable to...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $215,151 to develop records of hydroclimate variability in the southeastern United States from the middle Holocene to present day. The Research Foundation for the State University of New York at the University at Albany will lead collaborative research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth,...
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 University of Alabama was awarded a $580,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083). The grant will support the development of a graduate training program focused on improving hydrologic forecasting and decision-making through research translation and operational partnerships. The program aims to train 115 Masters and PhD students over five years, including 28 funded trainees, in...

The grant funds a collaborative proposal titled "Scaling Climate, Connectivity, and Communities in Streams" that will deliver research services to promote progress in the biological sciences. Specifically, the award supports work to increase scientific knowledge and enhance...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $151,442 Project Grant to the University of Alabama under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The grant funds collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MRA: CONFINES: CONTINENTAL-SCALE STUDY OF THE ROLE OF FINE PARTICLES IN RIVERINE MATERIAL FLUXES" to be conducted at the University of Alabama's location in Peterson, AL. The Biological Sciences...
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...
The University of Alabama was awarded a $290,214 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research towards establishing trait-based phenotypes for Symbiodiniaceae algae within reef corals using a low-cost, open-source instrument platform. Specifically, the University will develop methods to characterize and classify algal symbionts of corals, advancing understanding of...
The University of Maryland, College Park (prime recipient) received a $494,591 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences to develop, validate, and interpret new data models for tree-ring width using deep learning techniques. The grant supports the "DEEPGREEN" research project running from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026 under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050).
