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 $425,988 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to reconstruct precipitation and snowpack patterns in the south-central Sierra Nevada, California during the Holocene epoch. The project aims to use an interdisciplinary approach involving geomorphic field investigations, luminescence geochronology, and hydrologic modeling to develop detailed water-level records and understand long-term climate variability in...
Brown University was awarded a three-year, $298,664 project grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--WESTERN UNITED STATES HYDROCLIMATE DURING THE LAST INTERGLACIAL: DEVELOPING PROXY RECORDS AND USING MODEL INTERCOMPARISON TO GLIMPSE THE FUTURE." The grant was awarded on September 1, 2021 under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen...
This $180,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research quantifying evaporation in the Mono Basin watershed of eastern California. The grantee will combine isotopic geochemistry, hydrologic modeling, and sediment core analysis to better estimate historic and current evaporative water loss from Mono Lake. This will improve hydrologic models and understanding of how climate variability has impacted the critical Sierra Nevada water...
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 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a $287,144 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will fund a collaborative research project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: AN INTEGRATED MODEL-PROXY APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING WESTERN US HYDROCLIMATE CHANGE SINCE THE LAST GLACIAL PERIOD" from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $187,835 to The University Corporation, a non-profit organization in Northridge, California, for a collaborative research project titled "Glacier Resilience During the Holocene and Late Pleistocene in Northern California". The project aims to reconstruct past glacier changes in the Trinity Alps region of the Klamath Mountains over the past 20,000 years using methods such as...
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...
