- The University of Pittsburgh received a $397,549 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on July 15, 2021 to develop a 700,000-year record of tropical precipitation, evaporation, and temperature from Lake Junin sediments and regional speleothems. The funding supports basic research under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences research....
- 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 $289,672 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to reconstruct rainfall intensity and variability in mainland Southeast Asia over the past 200,000 years. The research team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will analyze geochemical data from cave deposits in Laos and Vietnam, along with climate model simulations, to understand the mechanisms driving changes in the Asian Summer...
- The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a three-year, $149,067 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research to evaluate the origins of multidecadal variability in late Holocene Indian summer monsoon rainfall in Nepal. The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $476,878, granted under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program, will fund collaborative research to reconstruct rainfall intensity in mainland Southeast Asia over the last 200,000 years. The project will use geochemical measurements of cave deposits from Laos and Vietnam, along with climate model simulations, to improve understanding of the mechanisms driving variability in the Asian Summer Monsoon and Asian Winter Monsoon. The...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research on the behavior of the Austral-Asian monsoon over the last 1,000 years. The $214,790 award to Iowa State University will compile data from cave deposits, corals, and tree rings, as well as develop new records from the Philippines and northern Australia, to produce a reconstruction of the monsoon's variability. This reconstruction will guide climate model...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $120,364 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Occidental College to reconstruct the Austral-Asian monsoon over the last 1,000 years. The project will compile data from cave deposits, corals, and tree rings, including new records from the Philippines and northern Australia, to develop a comprehensive multi-proxy reconstruction of the monsoon's behavior. This reconstruction will guide climate model simulations to identify...
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 Summer Monsoon at different timescales. The research will analyze sediment cores from Loktak Lake, a sensitive recorder of regional precipitation-evaporation balance, using techniques like geochemical analysis, isotope analysis, and climate modeling. This work is funded under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system.
