This $178,567 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research defining the paleoclimate-fire relationship in California across temporal scales. The Ohio State University will conduct integrated monitoring of karst systems, develop stalagmite proxy records, and build a karst system model linking hydroclimate and fire proxies to environmental drivers. Researchers will analyze ten stalagmites defining latitudinal and coastal-Sierra Nevada transects...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $627,539 will fund research to define the paleoclimate-fire relationship in California across temporal scales through integrated monitoring, stalagmite studies, and proxy system modeling. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support four key objectives from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. First, the researchers will develop a process-based understanding of hydroclimate and fire tracers through cave monitoring....

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $270,278 to the University of Rhode Island will support research to better understand the long-term relationship between climate and fire activity in the eastern United States. The project aims to analyze sediment records spanning the Holocene (last ~12,000 years) to compare historical fire and climate patterns prior to significant human impacts. This empirical data will be used to quantify...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $201,625 Project Grant to Bates College under the agency's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to research the relationship between fire and climate in the Eastern United States. The project aims to better understand long-term fire-climate dynamics in the region and inform climate adaptation efforts related to wildfire risk. Key activities include developing and analyzing Holocene-era paleoclimate data to characterize regional fire patterns prior...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $556,655 Project Grant under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Auburn University for the research project "Collaborative Research: Resolving Past Fire-Climate Relationships to Understand Future Fire Potential in the Eastern United States." The project aims to better understand the long-term fire-climate relationships in the Eastern United States through the analysis of paleofire records spanning the Holocene period (last ~12,000...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) provides $145,003.00 to the University of Illinois to conduct collaborative research on glaciers and climate change in the Klamath Mountains of Northern California. The primary objectives are to reconstruct past glacier changes over the last 20,000 years in this region and evaluate the mechanisms driving these climate changes. The study will use a multidisciplinary approach including geomorphic mapping,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a $216,562 collaborative research project between the University of Southern California (USC) and George Mason University to characterize hydroclimate changes over Western North America and Europe in response to the global warmth of the Middle Miocene period (around 15 million years ago). The project aims to understand how water availability may change in a warming climate by investigating...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $267,389 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of June 15, 2021 through May 31, 2024. The grant funds collaborative research to validate and calibrate trace elements in pyrite as a novel proxy for paleoenvironmental reconstruction. The Geosciences program supports basic research in the earth sciences to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system....

This three-year, $473,885 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research defining the paleoclimate-fire relationship in California across temporal scales. The award supports four objectives: 1) Monitoring three karst systems to develop process-based understanding of hydroclimate and fire tracers; 2) Building a multi-proxy karst system model linking said proxies to environmental drivers; 3) Developing comparable proxy records from ten stalagmites across California; and 4) Producing quantitative reconstructions of hydroclimate and fire activity over the past 70,000 years via proxy-model comparisons. Deliverables include an open-access, standardized database and community software. The University of Utah will oversee training of early career scientists and students in climate change topics through a vertically and laterally integrated program. Overall, this research aims to further understanding of regional hydroclimate change and fire activity drivers in the western U.S.
