This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $831,032 to The Trustees Of Columbia University In The City Of New York to conduct research on insolation gradients and their impacts on Eastern Mediterranean aridity and winter storm dynamics. The project aims to understand how radiative forcing from greenhouse gas increases and orbital cycles affect precipitation patterns in the Mediterranean region, which has faced severe droughts with significant societal disruptions. The work involves analyzing observational data, paleoclimate proxy records, and climate model simulations to examine the role of temperature contrasts and changes in the North Atlantic jet stream in driving Mediterranean rainfall trends. The project team collaborates with regional organizations to enhance the real-world impact of the research findings. The award duration is from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026 and supports a postdoctoral researcher, contributing to building the future workforce in this important area of climate science.
