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 Project Grant award of $552,632 provides funding from August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025 to support the research project "Defining the Paleoclimate-Fire Relationship in CA Across Temporal Scales Through Integrated Monitoring, Stalagmite Studies, and Proxy System Modeling." The award is made under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support basic research expanding understanding of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, the University of...
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...
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 (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 $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...
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...
Vanderbilt University was awarded a three-year, $291,862 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--WESTERN UNITED STATES HYDROCLIMATE DURING THE LAST INTERGLACIAL: DEVELOPING PROXY RECORDS AND USING MODEL INTERCOMPARISON TO GLIMPSE THE FUTURE." The grant will support collaborative research between Vanderbilt University and other institutions to develop proxy records of hydroclimate...
This $202,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a postdoctoral research project to examine the large-scale climate dynamics associated with compound heat wave and wildfire events in the western United States. The goal is to gain a better understanding of these co-occurring events and how they may evolve under different climate regimes, with the expected outcome being a unified framework for studying these events...
This $836,720 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology will support research integrating modern and paleoecological perspectives to disentangle grazer and climate controls on fire activity. Over a three-year period from January 2023 through December 2025, the awardee Yale University will combine data from nine present-day herbivore exclusion experiments, observational records from remote sensing and field monitoring, and five paleoecological archives...

This National Science Foundation project grant of $444,727 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 2022 to July 2025.

First, the grantee will develop a process-based understanding of hydroclimate and fire tracers through cave monitoring. Second, they will build a multi-proxy karst system model linking related proxies to environmental drivers. Third, comparable proxy records including novel hydrologic and fire indicators will be developed from ten stalagmites across California transects. Fourth, site-specific and regional proxy-model comparisons will produce quantitative reconstructions of hydroclimate and fire activity in California over the past 70,000 years.

The research conducted under this award at Vanderbilt University will provide a basis for future climate modeling efforts focused on constraining the drivers of hydroclimate change and fire activity in the western United States. It aims to further the Geosciences program's goal of expanding understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research.
