This $137,528.00 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program focuses on collaborative research to study the past, present, and future climate of the Lake Victoria basin in Africa. The research team at Baylor University will use a nested climate modeling approach, coupling the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with the Community Land Model (CLM), to investigate how changes in the size and climate of Lake Victoria impact weather patterns and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $299,130 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin on July 15, 2021 for collaborative research titled "Dynamics of Seasonal Forecast Uncertainty: Cross-Basin Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions." The research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system. The University of Texas at...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) project grant award of $399,134 aims to study the combined role of urban expansion and climate change on extreme summer rainfall in two rapidly growing metropolitan areas, Austin, TX and Phoenix, AZ. The project will utilize advanced numerical modeling to characterize the physical processes driving changes in extreme summer rainfall patterns, and disseminate the findings to local stakeholders to inform infrastructure...
This $192,970 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) aims to develop a community of practice to enhance weather resilience for Texas communities. The project, titled "Texas Weather: Whole-Community Efforts to Adapt, Thrive, and Enhance Resilience," will foster collaboration between academic institutions and local organizations to identify and support "resilience stewards" -...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Regents of the University of Michigan in the amount of $519,517 for the period of January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026.

Key objectives include: Investigating...
This $268,385 National Science Foundation project grant funds research at the University of Connecticut to study the impact of climate change on biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika, Africa. The university will use sedimentary records to model historical community structures and functions under different climate change scenarios. Genetic, geochemical and fossil tools will assess open water and benthic communities, and key organisms' physical and physiological responses. The results will help...
The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $402,261 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant supports the REU SITE: INCLUSIVE STUDENT TRAINING IN RAPIDLY URBANIZING CLIMATE-SENSITIVE TERRAINS program. Under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research, the University will deliver research experiences for undergraduates focused on rapidly urbanizing...
The University of Texas at Austin has been awarded a $463,487 project grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate drivers and impacts of heat and freshwater changes in the North Atlantic Ocean. The project, titled "Drivers and Impacts of North Atlantic Freshwater and Heat Fluxes Unsettling Modern-Day Climate (DIMSUM)", will use observations, model-based tools, and novel analysis techniques to quantify heat and freshwater budgets,...
