This $599,998 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to estimate the emergence of anthropogenic climate change signals in snow water resource metrics in mountainous regions. Led by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, the project will use an innovative modeling framework including a large ensemble climate model and process-based hydrological modeling. It aims to strengthen understanding of when and how much climate change...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $675,290 to Cornell University to estimate the emergence of anthropogenic warming signals in snow water resource metrics in mountainous regions. Working in the headwaters of the Upper Colorado River Basin, the grantee will use an innovative modeling framework with a large ensemble climate model and process-based hydrological modeling to assess the...
This $518,425 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to develop a physics-informed graph neural network-based approach for forecasting snow water equivalent (SWE), which is critical for effective water resource management in the Western United States. The project will integrate artificial intelligence techniques, specifically physics-informed neural networks, to create more accurate and reliable SWE forecasts by capturing the detailed...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $899,544 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to leverage emergent climate model evaluation techniques to reduce uncertainty in regional climate change projections, particularly related to the water cycle. This 3-year project will focus on applying these methods to high-resolution climate model simulations of the western United...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $750,000 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado (UC Boulder) to study the groundwater connection between melting glaciers and mountain streams under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The project will characterize two glaciated watersheds in Colorado and Montana, analyze relevant environmental data, and conduct numerical modeling to understand how glacier meltwater affects aquifer...
This $199,242 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Colorado State University will develop and apply novel methodologies for the classification, characterization, and quantification of snowflakes and snowfall. The key products and services to be delivered include: A new AI/ML-enabled approach for automatic classification of precipitation particles based on multiview images from a novel Multicamera Snowflake Profiler (MSP)...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $454,673 to the California Institute of Technology to advance understanding of meltwater transport through snowpack. The award will support numerical modeling and controlled laboratory experiments to gain new insights into how meltwater percolates and interacts with snow's porous structure under varying environmental conditions. This combined computational and experimental effort...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $135,001 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado to support collaborative research on anthropogenic water management, climate change, and environmental sustainability in the Southwestern United States. The three-year award, made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research from September 2021 through August 2024 examining the interrelationships between human water usage, climate...
This $397,337 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the drivers and impacts of warm-season climate extremes in North America under a changing climate. The awardee, Northern Illinois University, will use high-resolution global climate modeling to examine how factors across various spatial scales influence extreme events like floods, heat waves and droughts. Researchers will simulate past and potential future warm seasons to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $581,673 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of New Hampshire, operating through its Office of Sponsored Research. The five-year grant aims to analyze the complex linkages between climate, hydrology, and social systems in the Kuskokwim and Selenge River basins of Alaska and Mongolia. The research will assess the combined impacts of climate and socioeconomic changes on human well-being and ecosystem...
