The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $484,930 Project Grant to Columbia University to develop a novel multi-camera system for continuous, real-time monitoring of active volcanoes. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this two-year project aims to create an integrated system that can autonomously observe volcanoes across visible, thermal, and ultraviolet wavelengths to extract critical monitoring data. The system will automatically analyze the video...

The National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $282,980 project grant to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) at the University at Albany. The grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, supports collaborative research to diagnose global climatic responses to large volcanic eruptions.

The key research effort involves providing proxy-based global estimates of spatiotemporal changes in temperature and hydroclimate after major volcanic events. The project aims to quantify risks and improve societal preparedness for climate variations influenced by volcanic eruptions. The research team will assess the persistence of climate responses across multiple paleoclimate data assimilation products, validate the estimates against other proxy reconstructions and documentary evidence, and characterize the dynamical responses in reconstructed sea-surface temperatures, atmospheric pressures, and the positioning of the Intertropical Convergence Zone. This work is expected to provide new insights into how volcanoes influence surface temperatures, hydroclimate, and climate dynamics.
