This $198,591 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on understanding the formation and impacts of warm-season trans-Atlantic African dust extremes. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University of Kansas Center for Research will examine atmospheric circulation and land surface processes responsible for extreme dust events. Using satellite data, ground observations, and reanalysis, the researchers will identify causes of high dust loadings over the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $198,702 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Western Michigan University (WMU). The grant, entitled "EMBRACE-AGS-SEED: Unveiling the Role of Aerosols in Tropical Cyclone Precipitation in the Atlantic Basin," aims to enhance the understanding of how aerosols, such as Saharan dust, impact tropical cyclone rainfall and its environmental drivers in the Atlantic region. The project employs advanced machine learning...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $409,127 provides funding from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026 to support collaborative research on hurricane risk amplification and changing North Atlantic natural disasters. The award is made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the funding will support research examining hurricanes...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $367,399 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. (UGA Research Foundation) under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This 3-year project, starting in June 2024, will conduct a time-series study of aerosol trace elements in the North Atlantic Ocean near Bermuda. The key objectives are to: Analyze temporal variations in the size distribution of aerosol iron and other bioactive trace elements, and link these to...
This $800,565 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to explore the meteorological drivers of global mineral dust emissions. The project will leverage high-resolution climate model simulations to investigate the role of two key wind event types - downslope windstorms and haboobs - in generating atmospheric dust, and incorporate the...
This Project Grant award for $377,096, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research effort to assess current and future dust flux from the Northern Great Plains of the United States. The research team, led by the University of South Dakota, will collect historical weather data and analyze aerial photographs from the 1930s Dust Bowl era to document drought conditions and dust sources in the Northern Great Plains. They...
