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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $202,212 to the West Virginia University Research Corporation will support a collaborative research project to resolve uncertainty in past carbon-14 (14C) spikes recorded in tree rings. The goal is to improve estimates of the timing, duration, and magnitude of past solar energetic particle events (SEPs), which pose risks to space-based infrastructure. The research team will use field experiments and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $229,198 to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) to build infrastructure and capacity for radiocarbon dating of non-structural carbohydrates in long-lived trees. The project aims to enhance understanding of the role of old carbohydrate reserves in trees' resilience to extreme climate events. The funding will support a fellowship for the principal investigator and a...
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...

The key products and services to be delivered under this 5-year award include: Greenhouse and field studies to examine the role of tree carbohydrate dynamics in drought recovery Development of the...
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 $126,270 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to develop new capabilities to monitor and understand forest carbon dynamics in the Earth system. The key products and services to be delivered include: Cross-platform and cross-region learning frameworks to enable fine-scale carbon dynamics monitoring at large geographic scales. High-fidelity fast approximations of theory-based carbon forecasting models using new meta-learning...
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 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $195,768 to Michigan State University for research titled "Redefining the Ecological Memory of Disturbance Over Multiple Temporal and Spatial Scales in Forest Ecosystems" from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2025. The University of Massachusetts Amherst will serve as a sub-awardee, contributing novel tree-ring methodology development to infer climate and disturbance effects...
This $103,171 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research effort to advance the 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...
