This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) awarded to Brigham Young University will advance the understanding of global paleoclimate through the expansion of African dendrochronology (tree-ring based climate reconstruction). The $103,171 award, effective July 15, 2024 through June 30, 2027, will: Measure radiocarbon, tree ring width, and quantitative wood anatomy from dominant tree species in Zambia to develop multi-century climate records....
This $146,449 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to advance 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 identify primary...
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...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $562,254 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The purpose of this 3-year grant, with an award date of February 1, 2024, is to use stable oxygen isotopes measured in tree-ring cellulose across the tropical Americas to reconstruct wet season precipitation variability over the past 200 years. This research aims to gain insights into large-scale tropical climate...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences supports collaborative research to generate millennial-length reconstructions of sub-annual paleoclimate and extreme events in the Greater Yellowstone Ecoregion through tree-ring methodologies. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the $417,494 award to the University of Louisville runs from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. Key products include developing millennial-length...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to investigate shifting drought patterns in West Africa. The $424,095 award, with a performance period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund field schools in Ghana and Senegal to collect tree-ring samples for paleoclimate reconstruction. This data will be used to characterize the natural variability of drought in the region and examine how...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $185,538 will support a collaborative research project to resolve uncertainty in past delta-14C spikes from tree rings. The project aims to use field and model-based experiments to evaluate how different tree species and latitudes affect the uptake and storage of carbon, which impacts the precision of tree ring records of past solar energetic particle events. The research team, led by Montana State...
