The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a 3-year, $461,546 Project Grant to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct collaborative research on a 50,000-year continuous record of the Indian Summer Monsoon from Loktak Lake in northeast India. The project aims to improve understanding of the relative importance of factors like greenhouse gas concentrations, ocean circulation patterns, and climate variability in driving gradual and abrupt changes in the Indian...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $274,028 Project Grant to The Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri to conduct "Collaborative Research: A 50,000-Year Continuous Record of the Indian Summer Monsoon from Loktak Lake, NE India" under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This three-year project aims to study the paleo-lake system of Loktak Lake in northeastern India to improve understanding of past, present, and projected changes in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $526,171 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) to develop an isotope-enabled data assimilation system for studying the South American summer monsoon over the last millennium. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify the spatiotemporal characteristics of the South American summer monsoon and its relationship with the Atlantic Intertropical Convergence Zone...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $327,974 provides funding from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025 to Purdue University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award will support collaborative research between US and UK researchers to reconstruct a high-resolution record of the South Asian monsoon over the past 20 million years. Modeling studies will help interpret the records to better understand variability and future changes in the crucial monsoon...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $190,000 to leverage high-resolution modeling and dynamical theory to elucidate changes in extreme precipitation in a monsoonal regime. The funding will support basic research from October 2021 through September 2023 aimed at strengthening understanding of the integrated Earth system, as outlined in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) of enhancing fundamental knowledge and...
The National Science Foundation awarded Cornell College a $141,930 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2024. The grant will support collaborative research to evaluate the origins of multidecadal variability in late Holocene Indian summer monsoon rainfall in Nepal. As part of its mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system, the Geosciences...
