This $429,227 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research project to resolve uncertainty in past carbon-14 (Δ14C) spikes from tree rings. The goal is to better understand past solar energetic particle events, which pose risks to space-based infrastructure, by quantifying physiological sources of uncertainty in Δ14C measurements from tree rings. The project will use field and model-based experiments to...
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 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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $552,562 Project Grant to Columbia University under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of July 15, 2021 through June 30, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research between Columbia University researchers and the Natural Environment Research Council in the United Kingdom to enhance understanding of trans-hemispheric climate variability through analysis of a novel...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $150,674 supports research into understanding variations in solar magnetic activity and their influence on space weather and climate. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support an early career researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder from February 2023 through January 2026. The research will address questions related to grand solar minima periods of low activity, how solar behavior changes during...
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...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $416,328 to William Paterson University of New Jersey to develop two 1000-year long records of temperature variability and extremes in North Asia using wood anatomical traits. The goal is to use quantitative wood anatomy and anomalies like blue rings and frost rings to capture sub-annual and ephemeral temperature conditions that annual tree ring data cannot, in order to assess...
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 National Science Foundation Project Grant of $523,833 will fund research into impacts of atmospheric waves and geomagnetic disturbances on space weather through April 2025. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to increase understanding of the integrated Earth system, the awardee Clemson University will collaborate with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Virginia...
This $269,928 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research to use beryllium-10 (10Be) anomalies from solar proton events as a method for verifying varve chronologies in Arctic lake sediments. The research team at the University of Massachusetts will analyze 10Be concentrations in laminated sediment cores collected from sub- to high-Arctic lakes to determine if 10Be increases associated with solar proton events can reliably...
