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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA #47.079) seeks to advance knowledge and inform solutions to social and environmental challenges related to climate change. The $651,000 grant, awarded to Michigan State University (MSU) on June 1, 2024, focuses on mapping the impacts of the energy transition on the health and livelihoods of traditional peoples, identifying indigenous innovations for enhancing...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $129,436 Project Grant to the University of Illinois to convene an international summit in Fall 2024 to discuss the feasibility of creating a special-purpose computational system for frontier Earth system science and climate projection. The scientific objectives of this project are to bring together international leaders from academia, industry, government, and non-profit organizations to examine...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $286,415 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the impacts of climate change on tropical glacierized volcanoes in the Andes of Ecuador. The overarching objective is to determine how glacier retreat on culturally and ecologically critical Andean volcanoes is triggering impacts on water supply, vegetation, land-use, and elemental...
This $1,100,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program supports an innovative research collaboration between New Mexico State University (NMSU) and local stakeholders in northern New Mexico. The goal is to enhance the resilience of traditional acequia irrigation systems and associated socio-environmental systems to climate change and other emerging challenges. The project employs a convergence research approach that integrates...
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...
The University of New Mexico received a $148,836 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund collaborative research to test hypotheses of Mesoamerican hydroclimate over the last several glacial cycles through analysis of stable oxygen isotope ratios in stalagmites from caves in southwest Mexico and Sistema Huatla. The research aims to examine whether...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) provides $145,003.00 to the University of Illinois to conduct collaborative research on glaciers and climate change in the Klamath Mountains of Northern California. The primary objectives are to reconstruct past glacier changes over the last 20,000 years in this region and evaluate the mechanisms driving these climate changes. The study will use a multidisciplinary approach including geomorphic mapping,...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program awarded a $100,000 Project Grant to the University of Massachusetts Boston.
