This National Science Foundation project grant award of $536,591 provides funding for the 27th Annual Globe Meeting from April 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024. The meeting will focus on open science and how the Globe Program's openly accessible database of over 233 million environmental measurements exemplifies the principles of open data accessibility, a priority of the sponsoring Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Sessions will explore mobilizing data collection beyond borders, expanding...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $129,436 Project Grant to the University of Illinois to convene an international summit in Fall 2024 to discuss the feasibility of creating a special-purpose computational system for frontier Earth system science and climate projection. The scientific objectives of this project are to bring together international leaders from academia, industry, government, and non-profit organizations to examine...
This $1,223,730 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will develop a collaboration model for how planetariums can work with local communities to co-create data-driven visual narratives about the impacts of climate change on their regions. The project will initially establish four "development partnerships" to articulate, test, and refine the collaboration model, which will then be shared as a guide and toolkit for five...
This $696,515 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research and outreach on variations in the pace of surface temperature change. The awardee, University of California Santa Cruz, will conduct statistical analysis of global climate observations to identify regions and periods with accelerated warming rates over the past two centuries. Model simulations will determine the causes of detected changes and quantify future warming rates...
This $398,984 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to quantify the biophysical, physiological, and phenological impacts of increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels on vegetation and their effects on future climate change. The research utilizes the Community Earth System Model to examine the direct impacts of CO2 fertilization and stomatal closure, as well as the indirect effects of a longer growing season, on...
Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc. was awarded a $420,401 project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NNA RESEARCH: GLOBAL CHANGES, LOCAL IMPACTS: STUDY OF GLACIAL FJORDS, ECOSYSTEMS AND COMMUNITIES IN GREENLAND" from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026. The research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $653,325 project grant to the World Meteorological Organization to support the World Climate Research Programme. The grant's period of performance is from September 15, 2021 through August 31, 2024. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this project grant funding will strengthen and enhance understanding of the integrated Earth system through support of basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences....
This $322,030 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a research initiative at Colby College to study the resilience of atoll ecosystems to climate change and human impacts. The project aims to enhance understanding of how atolls, low-lying coral islands, respond to threats like sea-level rise, ocean acidification, and intensified storms through the integration of remote sensing, machine learning, and numerical...
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...
This federal Cooperative Agreement award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) under CFDA Program 43.001 - Science, provides $2,961,800.00 to the Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC) to expand access to and engagement in geosciences through the GLOBE program. The 5-year project, running from July 2024 to July 2029, aims to broaden participation in geoscience education and research by enhancing the mission and reach of the GLOBE...
