The grant supports collaborative research between Columbia University researchers and the Natural Environment Research Council in the United Kingdom to enhance understanding of trans-hemispheric climate variability through analysis of a novel...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $2,010,368 Project Grant to Columbia University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2026. The grant funds collaborative research on the impacts of severe drought on tropical forest recovery after hurricanes. Researchers are conducting a large-scale rainfall manipulation experiment in a forest in Puerto Rico recovering from Hurricane Maria to characterize forest resilience to climate change. Nine...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $588,786 project grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) to develop replicated coral geochemical reconstructions to understand dynamics of the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) in the context of climate change. The project aims to analyze temperature-sensitive elements preserved in coral cores from American Samoa, Fiji, and Tonga to reconstruct...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support a research project titled "CAREER: MECHANISMS OF HOLOCENE RAINFALL CHANGE IN THE NORTHERN TROPICAL AMERICAS". The $560,589 award, effective June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2030, will enable the awardee, Washington University, to reconstruct past rainfall patterns in Central America and Northern South America using sediment core data. The research aims to identify...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $142,947 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on July 15, 2021 to support research investigating inter-hemispheric phasing of tropical Andean hydroclimate in response to Holocene orbital forcing. The grant will fund a collaborative research project through June 30, 2024 examining how changes in the Earth's orbit and axis have impacted tropical South American climate over the past 12,000 years....
This $211,743 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reduce uncertainties in tree-ring records of wet extremes to aid interpretations of past climate and plan for future changes. The primary objectives are to: Use dendrometers to measure how tree growth responds to changes in precipitation frequency, intensity, and timing at sites in the AmeriFlux network. Reconstruct wet extremes of precipitation from previously collected tree-ring...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $276,385 to the University of Arkansas will support a collaborative research effort to reconstruct and analyze precipitation and streamflow in the Amazon River Basin over the past 250-300 years. The key products and services to be delivered include: Creating a long-term record of rainfall extremes in the eastern Amazon using tree-ring data from the Cedrela odorata species, which demonstrates...
This $103,171 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research effort to advance the understanding of global paleoclimate through the expansion of African dendrochronology. The project aims to measure radiocarbon, tree ring width, and wood anatomy from dominant tree species in Zambia to develop multi-century climate records. These data will be used to create a gridded precipitation reconstruction for the region and...
