This $341,117 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to improve understanding of potential changes to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) impacts from climate change. The awardee, North Carolina State University, will use sophisticated computer modeling to systematically test scenarios of how different possible future changes to ENSO could alter temperature and precipitation patterns over North America. The research seeks to...
The University of Miami received a $708,450 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences to conduct collaborative research on El Niño/Southern Oscillation predictability from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2027. Through numerical simulations using the Community Earth System Model, the University will analyze the role of initial ocean conditions and atmospheric noise in limiting the predictability of ENSO events. Software and relevant datasets...
This $440,785 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Miami to model how El Niño-Southern Oscillation patterns may change under future climate conditions and how those changes could alter related terrestrial impacts across North America. Over a three-year period ending in October 2025, the grantee will use sophisticated computer simulations to systematically test scenarios of potential ENSO variability and...
North Carolina State University will receive $207,801 from the National Science Foundation under the agency's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to determine the role of ocean dynamics in Atlantic sea surface temperature variations using coupled climate models. Through a three-year project grant awarded September 1, 2022, the university will develop a hierarchy of coupled climate models within the Community Earth System Model version 2 platform to quantitatively assess how one-dimensional ocean...
The University of California Irvine received a three-year, $814,240 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research understanding the multi-year dynamics of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), including its El Niño and La Niña asymmetries and climate impacts from September 2021 through August 2024. As part of the Geosciences program's goal of expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth,...
This $332,944 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Rowan University from September 2022 through August 2025 to study how the spatial patterns of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability changed during colder background climate conditions approximately 20,000 years ago. The grantee will analyze geochemistry from planktic foraminifera shells collected from sediment cores at key locations in the central and eastern...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to explore the dynamics and predictability of coastal El Niño events and their relationship to the broader El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. The $644,460 award, which commenced on June 1, 2024, will be led by the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The research investigates the underlying mechanisms driving coastal El Niño events, which can cause heavy...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) EAGER grant award of $256,539 to the Florida Institute of Technology Inc. (Florida TECH) supports a project to investigate the history of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events over the past 5,000 years. The research team aims to create a composite ENSO record from multiple sedimentary records in the lowland Neotropics of northern South America. This will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the frequency and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $717,604 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Wisconsin System to study the seasonal evolution of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. The project aims to advance understanding of how different seasonally varying processes lead to the seasonal evolution of individual ENSO events, which have significant societal impacts globally. The research...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $409,185 will support research to assess the predictability of annual to decadal sea level variability on global scales. Funded through the Geosciences program under the CFDA number 47.050, this research aims to quantify the ability of community Earth system models to simulate and predict sea level changes over timeframes relevant for coastal planning. Specifically, the awardee Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc. will determine the...
