The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $380,445 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. The grant supports collaborative research to characterize the drivers of hydroclimate change over Western North America and Europe in response to the global warmth of the Middle Miocene, approximately 15 million years ago. The research aims to understand how water availability may change as the Earth's...
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 (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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $225,073 Project Grant to the CSU Fullerton Auxiliary Services Corporation Sponsored Programs Office (CSU Fullerton ASC) to support a collaborative research project focused on reconstructing the late glacial to early Holocene hydroclimate for Glacial Lake Mojave in California. The project will use a combined basin analysis, isotopic, and modeling approach to quantify past changes in water availability and assess the...
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...
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 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...
The University of Southern California will receive $240,634 from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The research aims to illuminate fundamental climate processes that influenced terrestrial ecology in western Pangea during Earth's previous icehouse period between 304-280 million years ago. Researchers will identify the stratigraphic position of the Carboniferous-Permian boundary in...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a $180,000 postdoctoral fellowship to apply the "triple oxygen isotope" method to study changes in aridity across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) in the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming. The goal is to test whether this new analytical approach can detect shifts in water availability during this past period of global warming, which could improve models for predicting future...
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,...
