- This $194,921 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund collaborative research to constrain and understand regional modes of variability in the Atlantic Arctic over the next two years. The overarching goal is to quantitatively study climate patterns and their long-term changes in the Atlantic Arctic and sub-Arctic regions using a variety of data sources, including meteorological measurements, historical observations, and climate...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $552,562 Project Grant to Columbia University under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of July 15, 2021 through June 30, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research between Columbia University researchers and the Natural Environment Research Council in the United Kingdom to enhance understanding of trans-hemispheric climate variability through analysis of a novel...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $396,216 project grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) for the period of February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "Interactions Between Arctic Cyclones, Atmospheric Rivers, and Sea Ice in a Warming Climate." The Polar Programs grant program aims to strengthen understanding of polar regions through basic research...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $646,193 will fund research into the impact of Arctic amplification on midlatitude circulation from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The award was made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research into the integrated Earth system. The grantee, Columbia University, will examine how Arctic sea ice loss and surface warming influence atmospheric circulation patterns and extreme weather events in the Northern Hemisphere. Researchers hypothesize the effects occur nonlinearly and are not additively related to regional changes. A hierarchy of models will be used to test these hypotheses and analyze the underlying dynamical mechanisms. The project also aims to train one graduate student and two undergraduate interns to promote workforce diversity in climate and dynamics research. Insights gained could improve predictability of high-impact weather extremes relevant to infrastructure planning.
