The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $198,753 project grant to Carnegie Mellon University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct interdisciplinary research on tropical glacierized volcanoes as sentinels of global change. The project aims to determine how climate change is driving glacier retreat on Andean volcanoes in the inner tropics, and how this is triggering impacts on water supply, vegetation, and elemental cycling in these ecologically...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a 4-year, $165,771 Project Grant to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) on September 15, 2023. This grant supports collaborative research focused on understanding the impacts of climate change on glacier retreat, water supply, vegetation, and elemental cycling in the glacierized volcanoes and páramo ecosystems of the inner tropics in Ecuador. The project will conduct field and remote sensing observations,...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $832,098 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on September 15, 2023. The award will fund a 4-year collaborative research project to investigate the impacts of climate change-driven glacier retreat on Andean volcanoes in the inner tropics, including effects on water supply, vegetation, elemental cycling, and local indigenous Kichwa communities. The...
Gustavus Adolphus College received a $184,999 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund a collaborative research project to study the impact of climate change on glacier retreat and downstream effects on water, vegetation, and elemental cycling in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador. The interdisciplinary research plan combines field observations, remote sensing, laboratory analyses, and computational...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $274,166 Project Grant to Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the linkages between glacio-climatic, hydrothermal, and volcanic processes in the central Andes from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2025. Specifically, the research aims to establish spatial and temporal relationships between glacier fluctuations including deglaciation and the onset of hydrothermal and/or volcanic activity through...
This $158,481 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research by Lehigh University to investigate the relationship between changes in glaciers, topography, and the behavior of active volcanoes in Chile over the past 50,000 years. The research aims to generate high-resolution records of volcanic activity, ice retreat, and landscape evolution, and use this data to explore how crustal loading changes driven...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $282,980 project grant to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) at the University at Albany. The grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, supports collaborative research to diagnose global climatic responses to large volcanic eruptions. The key research effort involves providing proxy-based global estimates of spatiotemporal changes in temperature...
This NSF Project Grant award, provided under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to contribute to a better understanding and modeling of extreme weather events in the central Andes region, with the goal of improving the prediction of their impacts on hydrological and agricultural systems. The $400,000 award, effective from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2029, will fund collaborative research between institutions in the United States, Switzerland, and Bolivia. Key activities include...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $120,831 Project Grant to the University of Wyoming (UW) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study the interplay of surface evolution, shallow magmatism, and a large hydrothermal system at the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcanic complex in Chile. The goal of this 5-year project is to enhance understanding of the natural hazards associated with volcanic intrusions and transitions between explosive and effusive eruption behaviors. The...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $142,947 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on July 15, 2021 to support research investigating inter-hemispheric phasing of tropical Andean hydroclimate in response to Holocene orbital forcing. The grant will fund a collaborative research project through June 30, 2024 examining how changes in the Earth's orbit and axis have impacted tropical South American climate over the past 12,000 years....
