The University of Washington was awarded a three-year, $689,979 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research to enhance understanding of mesoscale climate responses through use of a regional climate model ensemble. Specifically, the University will leverage a suite of regional climate models to simulate mesoscale climate processes and better understand how they may change...
This $304,752 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs award will fund research to improve climate model simulations of sea ice physics and feedbacks through analysis of observations from the Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate field campaign. The University of Washington will integrate spatially and temporally coordinated field observations with single column and global climate modeling to develop parameterizations that more accurately...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $480,579 will fund research at the University of Washington from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025 to reconstruct Earth's energy imbalance over the past 1,000 years. The research will use paleoclimate data assimilation methods to combine proxy climate records with physical constraints from climate models to reconstruct fields like outgoing shortwave and longwave radiation at the top of the atmosphere. This will provide a proxy-constrained...
This $870,804 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support a 5-year research project at the University of Washington focused on improving the representation of small-scale sea ice processes in climate models. The key objectives are to refine the modeling of sea ice deformation and fractures at the floe scale, and establish connections between these small-scale dynamics and larger-scale sea ice behavior. This will involve a...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $516,085 will fund research to constrain variability in North Pacific marine heatwaves during the late Pliocene epoch from 2.6 to 3.6 million years ago. The award was made on July 15, 2022 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support basic research in earth sciences. Specifically, the University of Washington will use element-to-calcium ratios in individual foraminifera to generate sea surface temperature distributions and extract...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $401,241 will fund research at the University of Washington from May 2022 through April 2025 to advance understanding of Arctic sea ice interactions with tropospheric polar vortices and cyclones. The grant was awarded under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), which supports basic research in polar regions. Specifically, the researchers will investigate coupling between tropospheric polar vortices, Arctic cyclones, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $161,000.00 to the University of Washington to conduct collaborative research assessing the causal influence of atmospheric opacity (i.e., clouds) and sea ice on Arctic warming over the period 1980 to 2060. The research will leverage a well-established NSF-funded Earth System Model and observations, including data from the recent MOSAIC field campaign, to quantify how these factors...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences totals $471,434 to support research entitled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--FINGERPRINTING FORCED AND UNFORCED VARIABILITY IN HOLOCENE PALEOCLIMATE RECORD." The funding assists the Geosciences program, which aims to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the University of...
The University of Chicago was awarded a $574,359 project grant from the National Science Foundation to support research understanding heat-transfer regimes in past, present and future climates from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2024. Under the grant, the University will conduct basic research in the atmospheric and earth sciences to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, researchers will analyze heat-transfer patterns across different climate conditions...
