This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $493,422 over 3 years to The Trustees of Columbia University for a collaborative research project to diagnose global climatic responses to large volcanic eruptions.
The key products or services to be delivered through this funding include:
- Providing proxy-based global estimates of spatiotemporal changes in temperature and hydroclimate following major volcanic eruptions, using new paleoclimate data assimilation products
- Assessing the temporal persistence of climate responses across multiple data sources and comparing proxy-based estimates to climate model simulations to characterize uncertainties
- Quantifying how volcanic eruptions influence changes in surface temperatures, hydroclimate, and climate dynamics to improve understanding of associated risks and societal preparedness
This research aims to generate new insights into the climatic impacts of volcanic activity and support improved climate modeling and preparedness efforts.
