- This $146,450 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research to reconstruct speleothem proxy records from Central Texas during past abrupt global change events between 16,000-11,000 years ago. The research team, led by Rice University, will analyze seven coeval speleothems spanning a 375-kilometer transect to discern changes in moisture sources and the location of wet-dry gradients. The speleothem records will be compared to proxy system models and climate models to...
- This $1,276,110 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) located in Boulder, Colorado. The grant supports the collaborative development of the Isotope-Enabled Community Earth System Model (ICESM), which will enhance the ability to study and predict changes in the global water cycle by incorporating the unique fingerprints of stable water isotopes. The project...
- The U.S. National Science Foundation awarded a $399,996 Project Grant to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on identifying non-linearities in rainfall and river responses to consecutive Paleogene global warming events. This 3-year project (Sep 2025 - Aug 2028) aims to advance the fundamental understanding of how rainfall patterns and river systems respond to a changing climate by collecting new data on...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $464,646 will support collaborative research to study the magnitude and drivers of aridity in the Rocky Mountains over the 15,000 years since the last ice age. The research aims to quantify past changes in precipitation, evaporation, and other processes like snowmelt in the mountains of Wyoming and Colorado, in order to create robust benchmarks for evaluating changes to critical western U.S. water...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to build a machine learning-based "emulator" that can quickly and efficiently predict water isotope patterns from climate model simulations. The $252,059 award, spanning from November 2025 to October 2028, supports collaborative research between climate scientists and AI experts to develop this technology. The goal is to create a powerful tool that can enhance climate science,...
- This $683,266 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reconstruct global ice volume and bottom water temperature over the past 1-3 million years. The project at Brown University will analyze multiple climate proxies, including biomarkers and stable isotopes, using machine learning algorithms to resolve global ice volume and ocean temperature signals. The key objectives are to assess the role of CO2 and ice albedo in global...
