This Project Grant award of $1,495,400.00 from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) supports the "ACCELNET Implementation Phase 1: International Network of Networks (S2S-ACCELNET) for Accelerating S2S Hydroclimate Forecast Applications and Services" project at North Carolina State University. The project aims to build a network of national and international subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) forecasting agencies and sectoral...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $286,415 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the impacts of climate change on tropical glacierized volcanoes in the Andes of Ecuador. The overarching objective is to determine how glacier retreat on culturally and ecologically critical Andean volcanoes is triggering impacts on water supply, vegetation, land-use, and elemental...
This NSF Project Grant award, provided under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to contribute to a better understanding and modeling of extreme weather events in the central Andes region, with the goal of improving the prediction of their impacts on hydrological and agricultural systems. The $400,000 award, effective from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2029, will fund collaborative research between institutions in the United States, Switzerland, and Bolivia. Key activities include...
This $599,998 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to estimate the emergence of anthropogenic climate change signals in snow water resource metrics in mountainous regions. Led by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, the project will use an innovative modeling framework including a large ensemble climate model and process-based hydrological modeling. It aims to strengthen understanding of when and how much climate change...
This $256,252 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research by the Aspen Global Change Institute to estimate the emergence of anthropogenic warming signals in snow water resource metrics in mountainous regions. The three-year project grant will use an innovative modeling framework including a large ensemble climate model, statistical learning techniques, and process-based hydrological modeling to analyze uncertainty and attribute changes in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $198,753 project grant to Carnegie Mellon University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct interdisciplinary research on tropical glacierized volcanoes as sentinels of global change. The project aims to determine how climate change is driving glacier retreat on Andean volcanoes in the inner tropics, and how this is triggering impacts on water supply, vegetation, and elemental cycling in these ecologically...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $832,098 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on September 15, 2023. The award will fund a 4-year collaborative research project to investigate the impacts of climate change-driven glacier retreat on Andean volcanoes in the inner tropics, including effects on water supply, vegetation, elemental cycling, and local indigenous Kichwa communities. The...
This $696,515 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research and outreach on variations in the pace of surface temperature change. The awardee, University of California Santa Cruz, will conduct statistical analysis of global climate observations to identify regions and periods with accelerated warming rates over the past two centuries. Model simulations will determine the causes of detected changes and quantify future warming rates...
This $1,100,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program supports an innovative research collaboration between New Mexico State University (NMSU) and local stakeholders in northern New Mexico. The goal is to enhance the resilience of traditional acequia irrigation systems and associated socio-environmental systems to climate change and other emerging challenges. The project employs a convergence research approach that integrates...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $379,540 to The Trustees of Columbia University in New York to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: UNDERSTANDING GLACIAL-GEOMORPHIC-CLIMATIC CHANGES IN THE ARID ANDES: CORDILLERA ORIENTAL AS A CASE STUDY." The research aims to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system changes through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, as outlined in the...

This $1,499,999 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) will establish the ACCELNET-ACCORD network to advance climate change research and adaptation in the Andes mountain region. The key products and services to be delivered through this 4-year award include:

  1. Developing a new, comprehensive Andean climate database and observational network to improve understanding of Andean mountain climate dynamics, extreme events, and cryosphere changes.
  2. Conducting interdisciplinary, international research to constrain future projections of Andean climate, glaciers, snow cover, and water resources using advanced modeling and visualization tools.
  3. Training the next generation of U.S. climate scientists through immersive international research experiences, online seminars, and hands-on workshops.
  4. Broadening participation in STEM fields by hosting annual climate change education and outreach events for undergraduates.

The ACCELNET-ACCORD project aims to establish a sustainable, collaborative research hub addressing critical climate challenges in the Andes region and beyond.
