This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $190,000 to leverage high-resolution modeling and dynamical theory to elucidate changes in extreme precipitation in a monsoonal regime. The funding will support basic research from October 2021 through September 2023 aimed at strengthening understanding of the integrated Earth system, as outlined in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) of enhancing fundamental knowledge and...
This $234,972 National Science Foundation project grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to develop new paleotemperature records for North America. The University of Michigan, in collaboration with the University of New Mexico, will analyze cave deposits known as speleothems collected from various caves across the continental U.S. Using clumped isotope and strontium isotope analyses on approximately 200 mg subsamples, the researchers aim to determine...
This $786,904 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to measure absolute paleo-surface temperatures for important past climate periods in the southwestern and northern United States. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will provide quantitative paleoclimate reconstructions using dual clumped isotope and strontium isotope analyses of speleothem samples from multiple caves. Researchers from the University of New Mexico and the University of Michigan...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will provide $417,242 to The Research Foundation for The State University of New York (RF-SUNY) from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026 to conduct collaborative research on the 50,000-year history of the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM). The research will focus on analyzing sediment cores from Loktak Lake in northeast India to reconstruct past changes in the...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $142,947 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on July 15, 2021 to support research investigating inter-hemispheric phasing of tropical Andean hydroclimate in response to Holocene orbital forcing. The grant will fund a collaborative research project through June 30, 2024 examining how changes in the Earth's orbit and axis have impacted tropical South American climate over the past 12,000 years....
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $322,038 will support research to generate temperature, precipitation and vegetation records spanning the past 13,600 years from Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan. The University of Massachusetts Amherst will conduct a multi-proxy organic geochemical study of the lake's sediment cores to test hypotheses about past climate variability in arid Central Asia. Specifically, the awardee will produce...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $277,175 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will fund the development of precipitation, evaporation and temperature records from tropical lake sediments and cave deposits for the last 700,000 years. This work supports the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth,...
The University of Arizona was awarded a two-year, $416,602 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences. The grant falls under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen the national scientific enterprise. Specifically, the University will conduct a collaborative research project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--SUBDECADAL PLEISTOCENE INDIAN...
The University of New Mexico received a $148,836 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund collaborative research to test hypotheses of Mesoamerican hydroclimate over the last several glacial cycles through analysis of stable oxygen isotope ratios in stalagmites from caves in southwest Mexico and Sistema Huatla. The research aims to examine whether...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $526,171 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) to develop an isotope-enabled data assimilation system for studying the South American summer monsoon over the last millennium. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify the spatiotemporal characteristics of the South American summer monsoon and its relationship with the Atlantic Intertropical Convergence Zone...
