Under this award, UC Irvine will collaborate with Mongolian colleagues to advance understanding of tectonic mechanisms in the Altai Mountains of Central Asia through an interdisciplinary research project. Researchers will use weather modeling and geologic data collection to test hypotheses about how changes in the height and shape of the Altai Mountains may have influenced atmospheric circulation and climate over the past 50 million years. The grant will support Ph.D. training for three students, early career development for three scientists, and research experience for one undergraduate student. It will also facilitate international exchange opportunities. Results from this collaborative research are intended to improve knowledge of coupling between solid earth and atmospheric processes and contribute to addressing challenges such as climate change resilience and earthquake preparedness.
