This $440,785 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Miami to model how El Niño-Southern Oscillation patterns may change under future climate conditions and how those changes could alter related terrestrial impacts across North America. Over a three-year period ending in October 2025, the grantee will use sophisticated computer simulations to systematically test scenarios of potential ENSO variability and...
The National Science Foundation awarded Rowan University a $166,722 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to characterize stratigraphy and paleotemperature estimates from the Last Interglacial period in the tropical Pacific Ocean. The university will analyze sediment cores from the eastern equatorial Pacific to reconstruct El Niño Southern Oscillation behavior during the warm period known as Marine Isotope Stage 5e, which occurred approximately 119,000 to 126,000 years ago....
This $341,117 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to improve understanding of potential changes to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) impacts from climate change. The awardee, North Carolina State University, will use sophisticated computer modeling to systematically test scenarios of how different possible future changes to ENSO could alter temperature and precipitation patterns over North America. The research seeks to...
The University of California Irvine received a three-year, $814,240 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research understanding the multi-year dynamics of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), including its El Niño and La Niña asymmetries and climate impacts from September 2021 through August 2024. As part of the Geosciences program's goal of expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) EAGER grant award of $256,539 to the Florida Institute of Technology Inc. (Florida TECH) supports a project to investigate the history of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events over the past 5,000 years. The research team aims to create a composite ENSO record from multiple sedimentary records in the lowland Neotropics of northern South America. This will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the frequency and...
This $711,586 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at North Carolina State University to analyze thirty years of foraminiferal assemblages from the Santa Barbara Basin. The grantee will create a record of planktic foraminifera abundances from stored samples collected in the basin and connect the results to modern oceanographic measurements and older seafloor sediments. This will improve understanding of how climate change has...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $717,604 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Wisconsin System to study the seasonal evolution of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. The project aims to advance understanding of how different seasonally varying processes lead to the seasonal evolution of individual ENSO events, which have significant societal impacts globally. The research...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $556,334 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. This grant is funded under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research investigating the "distance effect" on Earth's climate, specifically how the annual cycle in Earth's distance from the Sun impacts the Pacific Ocean's warm pool and cold tongue...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to explore the dynamics and predictability of coastal El Niño events and their relationship to the broader El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. The $644,460 award, which commenced on June 1, 2024, will be led by the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The research investigates the underlying mechanisms driving coastal El Niño events, which can cause heavy...
This three-year, $834,774 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into further studies of dynamics for El Niño-Southern Oscillation diversity and complexity under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The University of Hawaii at Manoa will conduct a systematic investigation of spatiotemporal complexity in the El Niño-Southern Oscillation phenomenon. Researchers will develop new theoretical approaches and use a range of models together with observations and climate model...

This $332,944 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Rowan University from September 2022 through August 2025 to study how the spatial patterns of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability changed during colder background climate conditions approximately 20,000 years ago. The grantee will analyze geochemistry from planktic foraminifera shells collected from sediment cores at key locations in the central and eastern tropical Pacific to reconstruct surface and subsurface ocean variability. This will provide estimates of how ENSO's spatial expression, or "flavors," differed during the Last Glacial Maximum. The results aim to advance understanding of climate system processes and ocean-atmosphere interactions under different climate states, with implications for predicting future ENSO behavior. The project also incorporates undergraduate and graduate student research opportunities and will produce online content for public education about ENSO-related climate variability.
