This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $398,313 will support a research project titled "EMBRACE-OCE-GROWTH: HOLOCENE HURRICANE RECONSTRUCTIONS FROM WESTERN MEXICO." The project aims to reconstruct the history of past hurricane activity along the Pacific coast of Mexico by collecting and analyzing sediment cores to better understand the regional climate mechanisms driving hurricane frequency and develop improved risk assessment capabilities. The research will be conducted by Oakland University, a public research university in Rochester, Michigan, in collaboration with universities in Mexico. The project period runs from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027 and includes plans for student engagement through seminars and a field school. The research findings are expected to help policymakers, stakeholders, and residents in the region make more informed decisions regarding hurricane preparedness and mitigation.
