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,...
Syracuse University was awarded a $582,713 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026. The grant funds research to quantify the impacts of agriculture on regional climate extremes through analysis of observational datasets, climate model simulations from the Community Earth System Model, and simulations from the Land Use Model Intercomparison Project. The Principal Investigators will examine...
This $172,778 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to test climate model predictions of hydrologic change in the tropical Atlantic during a past warm period. Specifically, the awardee, Utah State University, will geochemically analyze oxygen isotopes and magnesium-to-calcium ratios in planktonic foraminifera from deep-sea sediment cores at several sites, including Ocean Drilling Project Site...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a $216,562 collaborative research project between the University of Southern California (USC) and George Mason University to characterize hydroclimate changes over Western North America and Europe in response to the global warmth of the Middle Miocene period (around 15 million years ago). The project aims to understand how water availability may change in a warming climate by investigating...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a $180,000 postdoctoral fellowship to apply the "triple oxygen isotope" method to study changes in aridity across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) in the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming. The goal is to test whether this new analytical approach can detect shifts in water availability during this past period of global warming, which could improve models for predicting future...
This $425,988 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to reconstruct precipitation and snowpack patterns in the south-central Sierra Nevada, California during the Holocene epoch. The project aims to use an interdisciplinary approach involving geomorphic field investigations, luminescence geochronology, and hydrologic modeling to develop detailed water-level records and understand long-term climate variability in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $793,146 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. This 5-year grant, effective September 1, 2024, supports collaborative research to better understand how much and why the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets melted during the Last Interglacial period approximately 130,000 to 115,000 years ago, when global temperatures were naturally warmer than today. The project aims...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $322,038 will support research to generate temperature, precipitation and vegetation records spanning the past 13,600 years from Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan. The University of Massachusetts Amherst will conduct a multi-proxy organic geochemical study of the lake's sediment cores to test hypotheses about past climate variability in arid Central Asia. Specifically, the awardee will produce...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $831,032 to The Trustees Of Columbia University In The City Of New York to conduct research on insolation gradients and their impacts on Eastern Mediterranean aridity and winter storm dynamics. The project aims to understand how radiative forcing from greenhouse gas increases and orbital cycles affect precipitation patterns in...
This Project Grant award of $290,728 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to understand how forest ecosystems respond to drought and high temperatures. The project aims to unveil the role of hillslope hydrology in mediating ecosystem response to drought, with a focus on how tree growth and mortality are impacted by access to deep water across different landscape positions. The research will...
