This $350,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to unravel the long-range predictability and environmental dependency of high-impact cyclones, such as hurricanes and nor'easters, using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The project aims to delineate the predictability limits of these dangerous storms, identify key atmospheric precursors, and probe the contributions of ocean, sea ice, and land...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $126,436 will fund research at Princeton University from September 2022 to August 2024 to assess climate and stochastic forcing of North Atlantic tropical cyclone activity over the past millennium. The researchers will generate tropical cyclone datasets from multiple model simulations of the last 1,000 years and investigate relationships between past modeled tropical cyclone responses and climatic...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $1,066,372 will fund research into the governing dynamics and predictability of recurving eastern North Pacific tropical cyclones under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The principal investigators and graduate students at the University at Albany will investigate why a small number of hurricanes in the eastern Pacific transition into extra-tropical cyclones and the atmospheric processes that cause...
This Project Grant award of $122,636 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to analyze hurricane vortices using a recently developed mathematical framework called LIUTEX. The primary goal is to better understand how small-scale vortices within hurricane eyewalls relate to the overall storm structure and intensity, with the potential to improve hurricane forecasting. The research team at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $372,445 provides funding from May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research on the intensity and size relationship of tropical cyclones. The University of Maryland, College Park will train two Ph.D. students and one postdoc in atmospheric dynamics, modeling, and data science while working with an undergraduate student to launch experimental forecasts for tropical cyclone...
This Project Grant award in the amount of $424,952 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to study the connections between tropical heating, planetary-scale stationary waves, and extratropical storm track activity. The study, to be conducted by two Ph.D. students at Stony Brook University, aims to demonstrate how tropical deep convection and variations in zonal mean temperature gradients influence the behavior of extratropical...
This Project Grant award of $215,146 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to investigate how the expansion rate of tropical cyclones (hurricanes) changes with global warming. The research aims to bridge the gap between theory and real-world observations to improve forecasting of tropical cyclone hazards, including wind, storm surge, inland flooding, and tornadoes. The project will systematically analyze historical data, climate model...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $180,000 from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2027 will support a postdoctoral research project using numerical modeling and synthetic stratigraphy generation to evaluate the impacts of extreme storms on delta channel mobility. The key objectives are to: 1) clarify expected rates and types of delta shoreline evolution over 100 to 10,000 years, informing coastal mitigation plans; 2) determine if...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $105,497 to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington for collaborative research titled "Reconstructing Tropical Cyclone Precipitation Throughout the Southeastern United States." The award period is from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which supports basic research in the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to transform the understanding of how coastlines respond to shifts in storm climate patterns. The $893,081 award to Duke University, with a project period from August 2024 to July 2027, will develop new approaches to downscale global climate model outputs to forecast the waves and winds affecting specific coastlines, such as the Carolina coastline. This...
