- 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...
- 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 award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to characterize historical drought patterns in West Africa. The $303,519 award to Mississippi State University, with a performance period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund the collection of tree-ring samples in Ghana and Senegal through annual field schools. The goal is to use these paleoclimate reconstructions to better understand the...
- This $185,538 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports collaborative research to resolve uncertainty in past radiocarbon (Δ14C) spikes recorded in tree rings. The project aims to better understand how different tree species and latitudes affect the storage and timing of carbon uptake, which impacts the precision of these environmental records for studying extreme solar events. By conducting field experiments and modeling...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program will support research by Dr. Rachel Keen at Oregon State University to study the impacts of woody plant encroachment on soil hydrological processes in savanna ecosystems. The $180,000 award, running from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2027, will quantify changes in rooting distributions, soil structure, seasonal soil moisture, and groundwater recharge resulting from the spread of trees into historically...
