This $749,164 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to reconstruct climate linkages across the tropical oceans over the last millennium. The University of California, Santa Barbara will collaborate with researchers to produce records of tropical sea surface temperature variability using geochemistry from long-lived corals in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. Comparing multi-century coral data from these ocean basins...
This $482,354 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to study climate variability in the central tropical Pacific over the last millennium. The project will assemble radiocarbon-dated coral samples from the central equatorial Pacific to reconstruct monthly records of sea surface temperature and salinity conditions during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (850-1300 CE) and the Little Ice Age (1400-1850...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences Project Grant awarded $442,344 to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to conduct research under the NSF's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The research aims to evaluate the emergence of an anthropogenic signal in the tropical Indo-Pacific region by leveraging long-term, seasonal coral data, instrumental observations, and climate model...
This $372,515 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to document variations in the influence of the Southern Hemisphere on the Western Pacific Warm Pool thermocline over the past 1.5 million years. The principal investigators at Columbia University will analyze geochemical data from deep-sea sediment cores to determine the timing and patterns of subsurface warming in the Western Pacific Warm Pool relative to surface...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant, CFDA 47.050, provides $303,755 in funding to Georgia Tech Research Corporation to conduct collaborative research on reconstructing climate variability in the Southern Caribbean using coral and speleothem paleoclimate records. The 3-year project from September 2023 to August 2026 will generate high-resolution, precisely dated proxy records of temperature and hydroclimate from the arid Southern Caribbean region, which has...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $533,560 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to develop a quantitative physicochemical framework for accurately interpreting elemental variations in coral skeletons. The key objectives are to: Construct a physicochemical model to simulate microscale (micrometer-scale) elemental variations, such as magnesium, lithium, and strontium, in coral skeletons. Develop...
This Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research on reconstructing past climate variability in the Southern Caribbean region. The $146,581 award to Princeton University will fund a project that uses coral and speleothem (cave) carbonates as climate proxies to generate long-term records of local temperature and hydroclimate changes since the Last Glacial Maximum. The...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences totals $417,928 to fund research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--CORAL PROXY AND CLIMATE MODEL COMPARISON TO UNDERSTAND CLIMATE VARIABILITY IN THE INTRA-AMERICAS SEA REGION." The research will be performed by Louisiana State University under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $186,352 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of South Carolina (USC) to conduct collaborative research on the influence of the Southern Hemisphere on the Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) thermocline over the past 1.5 million years. The project aims to extend the geochemical record of WPWP subsurface warming during previous glacial-interglacial transitions to better understand the pattern and potential role of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program grant (CFDA 47.050) provides $202,000 to fund research to understand the differences between observed and simulated patterns of tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) warming. The 2-year project, beginning January 1, 2024, involves comparisons between climate models and a simplified Zebiak-Cane atmosphere-ocean model to identify the physical mechanisms causing the contrasting SST trend patterns. The research has implications...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $588,786 project grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) to develop replicated coral geochemical reconstructions to understand dynamics of the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) in the context of climate change. The project aims to analyze temperature-sensitive elements preserved in coral cores from American Samoa, Fiji, and Tonga to reconstruct multi-year and long-term trends in ocean temperature and rainfall. This work will help elucidate the influence of global warming, El Niño events, and volcanic eruptions on the SPCZ, a critical feature controlling southern hemisphere hydroclimate and tropical cyclones. The research, which runs from June 2024 to May 2027, will support a PhD student, undergraduate students, and high school students, contributing to workforce development in the geosciences.
