This $135,798 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program funds collaborative research to develop flexible regression methods that can more accurately measure the economic impacts of climate change. The research aims to address limitations in existing approaches that do not adequately capture the effects of extreme temperatures on economic outcomes. The award supports the development of new statistical software and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), awarded a $399,142 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado, to be executed from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The project aims to analyze how spatial impacts of climate change on agriculture are affected by trade and risk management strategies. Key activities include: (1) estimating trade responses to climate shocks and risks, (2) estimating planting responses...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $217,772 Project Grant through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Alabama, effective July 1, 2024. This 3-year research project aims to investigate how individuals process information and make decisions when faced with prospects characterized by multiple layers of risk and/or ambiguity, such as those related to climate change or public health emergencies. The project will outline a series of...
Columbia University was awarded a $371,187 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) for the period September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The grant will support collaborative research to map the materiality of past human responses to climate change through archaeological, ethnohistorical, and paleoclimate data collected over three field seasons with stakeholder communities. The project aims to clarify the impacts...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, provides $804,950 to investigate the effects of climate change on rural livelihoods, including food insecurity, health, migration, and changes to traditional practices. The award to the University of Colorado, Boulder will examine how environmental stressors impact vulnerable rural populations and whether they lead to increased social conflict or...
This is a National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $1,010,185 with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029. The award was made to Cornell University to conduct research that applies extreme event attribution methodologies to quantify the influence of stratospheric variability, such as sudden stratospheric warmings, on the likelihood and severity of subseasonal extreme weather events like cold air...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $183,248 Project Grant under CFDA Program 47.050 - Geosciences to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF) at SUNY Oswego. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MESOSCALE PREDICTABILITY ACROSS CLIMATE REGIMES", aims to understand whether severe storms and associated weather hazards, such as tornadoes, hail, and flooding, can be better predicted as the Earth's climate warms. The research will involve...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $250,015 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The primary goal of this collaborative research project is to develop advanced statistical and machine learning techniques to forecast and analyze high-dimensional extreme events, such as extreme climate conditions and social phenomena. Key research thrusts include: 1) Learning the...
