Lehigh University has received a three-year, $290,936 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund collaborative research between Lehigh University and Mongolian researchers to better understand the coupling between solid earth and atmospheric processes through studying the uplift history of the Altai Mountains in Central Asia. Researchers will use weather modeling to predict changes in atmospheric circulation and climate resulting from variations in the mountains' height, shape, and growth over time. They will test these predictions against field and laboratory data from sediments shed by the mountains, including magnetostratigraphic age modeling. The interdisciplinary research aims to improve understanding of topographic growth beyond simple orographic rainout models. It also seeks to address societal challenges related to climate change and earthquake hazards. The grant period spans from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026.
