This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $276,385 to the University of Arkansas will support a collaborative research effort to reconstruct and analyze precipitation and streamflow in the Amazon River Basin over the past 250-300 years. The key products and services to be delivered include: Creating a long-term record of rainfall extremes in the eastern Amazon using tree-ring data from the Cedrela odorata species, which demonstrates...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at the University of Arizona to investigate the potential impacts of drought and forest degradation on the Amazon rainforest's water cycling and susceptibility to tipping points. The $103,764 award, effective from February 2024 to January 2025, will fund field observations, data collection, and analysis to test three key hypotheses related to the Amazon's drought...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reduce uncertainties in tree-ring records of wet extremes to better interpret past climate and plan for future changes. The total funding amount is $324,677, with an award date of July 1, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2027. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Using dendrometers (instruments that record tree growth in real-time) to...
This $211,743 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reduce uncertainties in tree-ring records of wet extremes to aid interpretations of past climate and plan for future changes. The primary objectives are to: Use dendrometers to measure how tree growth responds to changes in precipitation frequency, intensity, and timing at sites in the AmeriFlux network. Reconstruct wet extremes of precipitation from previously collected tree-ring...
This $861,035 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research into how mature trees in the Amazon rainforest are adapting to rising temperatures. Researchers at the University of Miami will conduct field studies around Peru's "Boiling River", a unique geothermal area that mimics the predicted future temperature conditions for much of the Amazon. The key objectives are to 1) map the environmental conditions in...
This $129,702 National Science Foundation project grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research between the University of Miami and its sub-awardee to test for the acclimation of individual tropical rainforest trees to over four decades of climate change through a longitudinal study. The research aims to improve understanding of how Amazonian tree species have responded or not responded to climate change and the consequences for species performance and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $192,386 Project Grant through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Arizona for a 3-year collaborative research project to reconstruct tropical rainfall patterns over the last 200 years. The project aims to use stable oxygen isotopes measured in tree ring cellulose from sites across Central and South America to study variations in the position and width of the Intertropical Convergence Zone and understand how these changes...
The University of Alabama received a $233,318 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund collaborative research to extend tree-ring based reconstructions of Atlantic Gulf Basin hydroclimate over the Common Era using old-growth sinker wood. Researchers will collect samples from old-growth bald cypress and longleaf pine trees harvested in the late 19th and...
This $103,171 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research effort to advance the understanding of global paleoclimate through the expansion of African dendrochronology. The project aims to measure radiocarbon, tree ring width, and wood anatomy from dominant tree species in Zambia to develop multi-century climate records. These data will be used to create a gridded precipitation reconstruction for the region and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research effort to investigate subsurface water storage and seasonal dynamics in the Amazon rainforest and a savanna site in Brazil. The $363,098 award supports geophysical surveys, data analysis, and integrative modeling over a 3-year period from Aug 1, 2023 to Jul 31, 2026. The research, conducted in partnership with Brazilian...
