This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project on glacier resilience and climate change in the Trinity Alps region of northern California. The $409,202 award to the Humboldt State University Sponsored Programs Foundation, a minority-serving and Hispanic-serving institution, runs from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The key products and services to be delivered through this grant...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) provides $145,003.00 to the University of Illinois to conduct collaborative research on glaciers and climate change in the Klamath Mountains of Northern California. The primary objectives are to reconstruct past glacier changes over the last 20,000 years in this region and evaluate the mechanisms driving these climate changes. The study will use a multidisciplinary approach including geomorphic mapping,...
This $425,988 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reconstruct Holocene precipitation and snowpack patterns in the south-central Sierra Nevada region of California. The key research components involve geomorphic field investigations, luminescence geochronology, and hydrologic modeling to develop detailed water-level records and paleoclimate reconstructions for a system of connected lakes. This interdisciplinary approach will...
This $289,011 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) to the University of Wisconsin - Madison supports research to reconstruct Holocene glacier lengths across North and South America. The research objectives are to: 1) constrain glacier length changes using radiocarbon and beryllium-10 dating, 2) determine glacier length histories through statistical and glaciological modeling, and 3) identify plausible climate scenarios...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Purdue University a $216,566 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to reconstruct Holocene glacier lengths and their relationship to past climate changes. The three-year grant, effective July 1, 2023, aims to: 1) constrain glacier length changes over the past 12,000 years at six locations spanning North and South America using radiometric dating techniques, 2) determine glacier length histories at these sites through statistical...
This three-year, $291,344 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research investigating past, present, and future glaciated alpine landscapes using integrated data and modeling. Four early career principal investigators at Occidental College will develop detailed modern and paleo glaciological datasets from a well-constrained site in the Teton Range, Wyoming. They will integrate these datasets into a state-of-the-art glacier model,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to investigate the exhumation history and topographic development of the northern Sierra Nevada mountain range in California. The $190,957 award, effective August 15, 2024 through July 31, 2027, will fund the use of low-temperature thermochronology techniques and analyses of ancient river deposits to reconcile conflicting hypotheses about the timing and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $899,544 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to leverage emergent climate model evaluation techniques to reduce uncertainty in regional climate change projections, particularly related to the water cycle. This 3-year project will focus on applying these methods to high-resolution climate model simulations of the western United...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), funds a $548,224 research project to study rock glaciers in Colorado as probes of Holocene climate, weathering, hydrology, and landscape evolution. The project, awarded on August 1, 2024, with a completion date of July 31, 2027, will expand on a pilot study on Mount Sopris to examine two additional Colorado rock glaciers. The researchers will use a variety of techniques, including measuring...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $111,828 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to the University of Oregon to conduct collaborative research on frontal ablation processes on lake-terminating glaciers and their role in glacier change. The project aims to quantify the additional ice loss from glaciers due to their interaction with proglacial lakes, using a combination of field data collection, computer modeling, and partnerships with student programs. The research...
