This $690,233 five-year Project Grant award was issued by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to President and Fellows of Harvard College. The project aims to develop a basic scientific understanding of soil moisture and its changes under a warming climate, addressing two key questions: (1) what are the key controls on the spatial variability of soil moisture in the present-day climate, and (2) how will soil moisture change in a warming world? To address these...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences provides $247,800 to President and Fellows of Harvard College from August 2021 through July 2024 for research titled "CSEDI COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: THE NATURE AND TIMING OF EARTH'S ACCRETION." The research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $449,535 project grant to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The grant, funded under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a research project examining potential feedback mechanisms that may explain past observations of warm mid-latitude upwelling regions and wet conditions in southwestern North America during the early Pliocene epoch, relative...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $523,416 to support the REU Site: Summer Program at Harvard in Earth and Environmental Research (SPHEER): Investigating a Changing Planet Across Multiple Timescales. The funding supports a 10-week intensive research experience for undergraduate students working closely with Harvard University faculty and graduate students on projects involving atmospheric chemistry and physics,...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $313,105 to President and Fellows of Harvard College to develop a new paleoclimate proxy. Specifically, the award will fund research to quantify the reliability of speleothem magnetization as an indicator of past rainfall by investigating the physical mechanism linking rainfall and deposition of magnetic particles....
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $384,286 to President And Fellows Of Harvard College for collaborative research titled "ILLUMINATING THE CENOZOIC ALKENONE PCO2 RECORD." The research aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, as outlined in the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Specifically, the funding will support...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $336,517 to President and Fellows of Harvard College from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The funding supports collaborative research analyzing 150 years of sea surface and subsurface observations to map whole-ocean temperature and detect circulation changes. This work aligns with the goals of the Geosciences program under the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number 47.050. This CFDA...
This $225,566 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to characterize oceanic storm systems using microseism data. The awardee, President and Fellows of Harvard College doing business as Harvard University, will establish relationships between ground motion signals recorded by seismic stations and buoys and tropical cyclone parameters like wind speed and location. This work is the first step toward developing a seismic-based...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is focused on studying the short-term and long-term impacts of the 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption on the Earth's stratosphere. The $199,479 grant, awarded on June 1, 2024, will provide critical information on how the eruption has affected stratospheric chemistry, temperatures, and dynamics, including potential damage to the ozone layer. The research aims to address key...
