This $424,095 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research effort to investigate shifting drought patterns in West Africa. The project aims to collect tree samples in Ghana and Senegal through annual field schools, which will be used to reconstruct past hydroclimate conditions and drought variability over seasonal and centennial timescales. The research will contribute to the development of the West...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $119,293 to James Madison University for collaborative research on quantitative paleoclimatology of the East African monsoon from August 15, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The grant supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through expanded knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the university will conduct collaborative research to...
This $198,435 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project titled "P4CLIMATE--A Paleo Perspective on the Links Between Climate and Food Security." The project will quantitatively assess shifts in maize production in North America over the past 1,200 years by merging paleoclimate, weather generation, and crop modeling data. This research aims to understand the impacts of prolonged droughts,...
This National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $381,192 to the University of Missouri System from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The funding will support development of tree ring chronologies from juniper, pine, and taxodium trees within and near the Great Plains to reconstruct past seasonal precipitation, soil moisture balance, and drought over the region from the Medieval period to present. Researchers will produce five gridded reconstructions at...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), is aimed at understanding how forests respond to drought and high temperatures. The $290,728 award will fund research to unveil the role of hillslope hydrology in mediating ecosystem response to drought in forest ecosystems. The key products and services to be delivered include: Using a variety of tools, such as direct forest measurements and satellite observations, to...
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 from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $360,000 to develop long tree-ring chronologies within and along the boundaries of the Great Plains region. The researchers, led by Columbia University, will use these tree-ring data to reconstruct past drought and moisture conditions over 500-1000 years, creating gridded reconstructions of spring/summer precipitation indices...
This $267,007 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant will fund a collaborative research project at Alabama A&M University to reconstruct a 250-300 year record of rainfall extremes and Amazon River water level fluctuations in the Eastern Amazon region. The project aims to use tree-ring data from Cedrela odorata and historical records to determine if recent flood and drought events are within the natural range of climate variability or attributable to...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $215,151 to develop records of hydroclimate variability in the southeastern United States from the middle Holocene to present day. The Research Foundation for the State University of New York at the University at Albany will lead collaborative research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth,...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $480,484 supports research to understand drought and post-drought legacy effects in tropical forests. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of California, Los Angeles will leverage a large-scale drought experiment in an Amazon forest in Brazil. Researchers will integrate high-resolution tower-based radar data measuring vegetation water content at finer scales than satellites. This will be compared with plant...
