Project Grant 2322270
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $194,914 to Florida Gulf Coast University to study the effects of Hurricane Ian on the West Florida Shelf. The funding supports a collaborative research project examining how dissolved organic matter and nutrients delivered during Hurricane Ian in September 2022 influence water chemistry and ecological processes on the shelf. Specifically, the award will enable investigation of how bacteria and...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $126,436 will fund research at Princeton University from September 2022 to August 2024 to assess climate and stochastic forcing of North Atlantic tropical cyclone activity over the past millennium. The researchers will generate tropical cyclone datasets from multiple model simulations of the last 1,000 years and investigate relationships between past modeled tropical cyclone responses and climatic...
- This Project Grant award of $398,313 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research by Oakland University to reconstruct the history of hurricanes along the Pacific coast of western Mexico. The project aims to fill a critical data gap by extracting sediment cores to identify evidence of past hurricane and tsunami events going back hundreds to thousands of years. This research will improve understanding of the frequency and climate drivers of...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $409,127 provides funding from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026 to support collaborative research on hurricane risk amplification and changing North Atlantic natural disasters. The award is made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the funding will support research examining hurricanes...
- This $112,704 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research examining the effects of Hurricane Ian's nutrient and organic matter inputs on coastal waters in southwest Florida. Specifically, the grantee Mote Marine Laboratory Inc. will measure a suite of carbon and nutrient parameters and conduct carbon and nutrient cycling assessments at stations in Charlotte Harbor and the adjacent inner West...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $701,663 to Florida State University to conduct collaborative research on the intensity and size relationship of tropical cyclones. The research aims to better understand this relationship through exploring how the inward radial loss rate of absolute angular momentum and effective absolute angular momentum values depend on environmental...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $109,866 to the University of North Texas to conduct a multi-proxy study to discriminate between marine and terrestrial sediments in coastal wetlands. The research aims to improve understanding of the relative contributions of marine and terrestrial sources to compound flooding events caused by hurricane impacts, which have intensified due to climate change. The study will employ...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to transform the understanding of how coastlines respond to shifts in storm climate patterns. The $893,081 award to Duke University, with a project period from August 2024 to July 2027, will develop new approaches to downscale global climate model outputs to forecast the waves and winds affecting specific coastlines, such as the Carolina coastline. This...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $372,445 provides funding from May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research on the intensity and size relationship of tropical cyclones. The University of Maryland, College Park will train two Ph.D. students and one postdoc in atmospheric dynamics, modeling, and data science while working with an undergraduate student to launch experimental forecasts for tropical cyclone...
- This Project Grant award of $460,099.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a 3-year research project at Purdue University to investigate how the expansion rate of tropical cyclones (hurricanes) changes with global warming. The key research objectives are to: Quantify the dependence of tropical cyclone expansion rate on sea surface temperature using historical data, climate model simulations, and limited-area cloud-permitting model experiments. This...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences Project Grant award of $262,393 to Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) from July 15, 2023 to June 30, 2026 will support research to extend the hurricane record along the Southwest Florida coast by thousands of years. The project will analyze sediment cores from coastal "blue holes" to reconstruct the history of tropical cyclones in the region, resulting in a more robust understanding of the tropical cyclone frequency distribution along the U.S. coastline. This will help reduce loss of life and infrastructure attributable to tropical cyclones. The research will connect to catastrophe risk management and modeling communities to ensure the paleoclimate data can inform risk decision-making. The project will have a significant impact on diversity in STEM by supporting underrepresented minorities.
