This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a $216,562 collaborative research project between the University of Southern California (USC) and George Mason University to characterize hydroclimate changes over Western North America and Europe in response to the global warmth of the Middle Miocene period (around 15 million years ago). The project aims to understand how water availability may change in a warming climate by investigating...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $135,001 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado to support collaborative research on anthropogenic water management, climate change, and environmental sustainability in the Southwestern United States. The three-year award, made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research from September 2021 through August 2024 examining the interrelationships between human water usage, climate...
This $359,809 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort between a U.S. modeling expert and a Swiss geochemistry expert to reconcile climate models and proxy data interpretations for the Miocene period (23-5 million years ago), a time of much warmer global temperatures and higher greenhouse gas levels. The project aims to develop novel proxy system models to better understand how paleoclimate proxies...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $119,293 to James Madison University for collaborative research on quantitative paleoclimatology of the East African monsoon from August 15, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The grant supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through expanded knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the university will conduct collaborative research to...
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...
The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $449,535 project grant to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The grant, funded under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a research project examining potential feedback mechanisms that may explain past observations of warm mid-latitude upwelling regions and wet conditions in southwestern North America during the early Pliocene epoch, relative...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $272,434 Project Grant to Brown University to reconstruct the hydroclimate of Glacial Lake Mojave from the Last Glacial Maximum through the Early Holocene (approximately 24,000 to 8,000 years ago). The project will use a combined approach of basin analysis, isotopic analysis, and hydrologic modeling to quantify changes in lake depth, volume, and the climatic drivers of these changes over this period. The research will...
This three-year, $1,135,926 National Science Foundation project grant funds research to reconcile hydroclimate model projections and geologic data from a warmer period in the past to improve understanding of future water availability in the Southwestern United States. The awardee, Colorado State University, will collect new stable isotope data from sedimentary carbonates in New Mexico spanning the Middle Miocene Climate Optimum. Analysis of existing climate model simulations will differentiate...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $314,999 Project Grant to Michigan State University on September 1, 2021 for collaborative research titled "Anthropogenic Water Management, Climate Change, and Environmental Sustainability in the Southwestern US (ACCESS)." The three-year grant will fund research under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and...
This $397,337 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the drivers and impacts of warm-season climate extremes in North America under a changing climate. The awardee, Northern Illinois University, will use high-resolution global climate modeling to examine how factors across various spatial scales influence extreme events like floods, heat waves and droughts. Researchers will simulate past and potential future warm seasons to...
