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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded $627,744 under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to The Washington University from July 2022 to June 2025. This Project Grant will support research aimed at developing a physical model to assess the sensitivity of mountain river channels to shifts in climate and associated hazards. Specifically, the grant will fund 1) analysis of high-resolution topography and sediment transport data to establish baseline...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project titled "CAREER: Quantifying Climate Induced Landscape Evolution During Early Eocene Hyperthermals". The $498,733 award, which commenced on October 1, 2024, will fund a project to reconstruct paleoclimate and landscape response in three sedimentary basins in the western U.S. during the early Eocene hyperthermal events. The research will use a multi-proxy...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $590,428 will fund research at Utah State University from July 2022 to June 2025 to develop a physical model characterizing the response of mountain river channels to climate change perturbations. The research aims to separate river response signals from inherent natural variability through three components: establishing a baseline variability model using high-resolution topography and sediment data; developing a physical linkage between...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant, awarded to Amherst College for $137,314, aims to deepen understanding of how floodplains have responded to past climate changes. The primary goal is to determine the timing of river terrace formation and compare it to known climate shifts over the last 14,000 years, to better predict how floodplains will change under future climate warming. The research will be conducted in Eastern Scotland, an ideal location due to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $343,807 to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The project will test whether quantitative paleohydrologic reconstruction methods are consistent with existing detrital provenance data interpretations of drainage network changes across the western United States during the Laramide orogeny from the late Cretaceous to early Eocene...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences totals $407,205 to fund research titled "FLOODPLAIN ECOGEOMORPHIC PROCESSES: INTERACTIONS BETWEEN FLOODPLAIN FOREST CHARACTERISTICS, WOOD ACCUMULATIONS, AND HYDROGEOMORPHOLOGY." Awarded August 1, 2021 to the University of Colorado with completion by July 31, 2024, the funding supports the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic...
This three-year, $234,084 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on the geomorphic legacy of megaflood deposits in the Eastern Himalaya. The grantee, the University of Washington, will investigate how catastrophic flood events contributed to the evolution of steep, high-relief mountain landscapes through unique flood deposits in the region. The project team will determine the source, depositional age, and grain...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a two-year, $174,000 Project Grant to researchers at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. The grant aims to experimentally study the dynamics of frozen, cohesive river banks to bridge pore-scale properties with channel-scale dynamics under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system, including the atmospheric,...
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...
