The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $142,090 Project Grant to James Madison University (JMU) under the Geosciences CFDA program. The grant supports a collaborative research project to "Uncover the Role of Land-Atmosphere Feedbacks on Flash Drought Intensification, Severity, and Expansion." The project aims to better understand the conditions under which land-atmosphere interactions contribute to rapid drought intensification and...
This $582,109 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to understand the role of land surface feedback in the development of flash droughts in the contiguous United States. The research team at the University of Nebraska will characterize flash droughts, investigate the influence of atmospheric conditions and land-surface interactions, and evaluate flash droughts in climate modeling. The project aims to improve...
This $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to develop community-driven tools for monitoring and predicting flash droughts in the agricultural sector. The grant was awarded to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees) and will run from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The project seeks to engage farmers, industry representatives, and county extension agents to better understand the direct impacts of flash...
This $270,754 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program supports collaborative research to investigate the impacts of the ongoing megadrought in the American West on soil moisture, ecosystem carbon-water cycling, and remote sensing capabilities. The research team, led by the Trustees of Indiana University, will synthesize hundreds of long-term soil moisture measurements with remotely-sensed data and eddy covariance tower observations to...
This $1,482,996 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of California, Los Angeles to diagnose and understand the mechanisms behind warm season extreme weather over central and intermountain United States. The grant is funded through the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences support. Specifically, the UCLA researchers will apply statistical...
The University of Wisconsin-Madison has been awarded a $336,926 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on the coupling mechanism of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and Quasi-Biennial Oscillation through cloud-radiative feedback. Over a three-year period from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026, the University will analyze satellite and reanalysis dataset observations,...
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...
This $200,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Wake Forest University from January 2023 through December 2024 to develop a modeling framework integrating vegetation phenology and dynamic water storage under drought conditions. Funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research aims to better understand land-atmosphere interactions characterizing drought events in mountainous regions of Colorado. Specifically, the university will couple a land surface...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $220,480 to the University of Iowa to quantify the impacts of anthropogenic climate change on drought effects from 2022-2024. The University will analyze how much past climate change has exacerbated drought impacts on plant productivity during the 2012-2015 California drought and 2012 Midwest drought. Using remote sensing and climate modeling, the researchers will attribute changes...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $175,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Arizona State University to develop a geostatistical framework for modeling spatiotemporal extremes, such as heat waves, drought, and intense precipitation. The research aims to better understand the distributions of extreme weather events and develop statistical tools to model the associated spatial and temporal trends and uncertainties. The project will...
