This five-year, $224,915 project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities' Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will fund research exploring combined climate intervention strategies for stakeholder use. A team of experts from climate science, engineering, behavioral science and ecology at Louisiana State University will advance the state of science on climate intervention scenarios that keep warming within 1.5 degrees Celsius. The researchers will...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Arizona State University a $239,288 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083) to conduct collaborative research exploring combined climate intervention strategies. Over a five-year period ending in September 2027, the university will advance state-of-the-science climate intervention studies through modeling various portfolios of mitigation, carbon dioxide removal, and solar radiation...
The University of Colorado Denver received a five-year, $135,491 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GCR: CO-DEFINING CLIMATE REFUGIA TO INFORM THE MANAGEMENT OF MOUNTAIN HEADWATER SYSTEMS." The grant will support research from October 2021 through September 2026 to co-define climate refugia and inform management of mountain headwater systems. The Integrative Activities...
The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), received a five-year, $102,313 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities. The grant supports the "Collaborative Research: GCR: Co-Defining Climate Refugia to Inform the Management of Mountain Headwater Systems" project under the NSF's Integrative Activities program (CFDA #47.083). The project aims to enhance...
This three-year, $511,918 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research to develop a new framework for advancing climate model representations of cloud and convective processes. The grantee, Columbia University, will conduct fully-coupled, isotope-enabled climate simulations for the Last Glacial Maximum, Mid-Holocene, and Pre-Industrial periods using an ensemble of cloud and convective parameter sets. Paleoclimate data assimilation will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA #47.075) program awarded Northwestern University a $100,000 Project Grant to plan for the creation of an interdisciplinary center that would study the social and behavioral aspects of climate change. The planning will involve meetings of experts from disciplines including psychology, sociology, and environmental science to explore how people receive, process, and respond to information about climate change....
This $696,515 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research and outreach on variations in the pace of surface temperature change. The awardee, University of California Santa Cruz, will conduct statistical analysis of global climate observations to identify regions and periods with accelerated warming rates over the past two centuries. Model simulations will determine the causes of detected changes and quantify future warming rates...
This Project Grant award for $561,110, granted by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports research examining the role of aerosols in driving multivariate climate hazards, such as concurrent extreme events of fire weather, humid-heat, and drought. The project aims to: Develop methodologies to uncover the influence of aerosols on multivariate climate extremes using climate models, and 2) Educate the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under CFDA 47.075 (Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). This planning project aims to develop the "Center for Climate Leadership and AI-Driven Integrity and Mitigation", which will investigate the societal, regulatory, and governance implications of private sector climate commitments in the realm of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) under CFDA Number 47.079, has awarded a $294,103 Project Grant to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) for the "Climate Collaboratorium: Co-Creation of Decision Labs for Exploring Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation." This 3-year project, which commenced on June 1, 2024, addresses risks to water security in vulnerable communities across the U.S., Canada, Germany, and the U.K....
