This $1,389,411 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the continuing research efforts of the Principal Investigator to understand the probability distribution of rainfall intensity and its relationship to climate change. The key objectives include: Explaining why increases in precipitation intensity in a warming climate exceed expectations based solely on increased water vapor content. Exploring how the suppression of convection due...
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 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 $498,014 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) aims to advance the scientific understanding of how anthropogenic aerosols and cloud physics impact extreme precipitation events. Over the 5-year project period from June 2025 to May 2030, the research will focus on enhancing the representations of aerosol and cloud microphysics within a high-resolution global climate model to...
This $425,988 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to reconstruct precipitation and snowpack patterns in the south-central Sierra Nevada, California during the Holocene epoch. The project aims to use an interdisciplinary approach involving geomorphic field investigations, luminescence geochronology, and hydrologic modeling to develop detailed water-level records and understand long-term climate variability in...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $190,000 to leverage high-resolution modeling and dynamical theory to elucidate changes in extreme precipitation in a monsoonal regime. The funding will support basic research from October 2021 through September 2023 aimed at strengthening understanding of the integrated Earth system, as outlined in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) of enhancing fundamental knowledge and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $899,544 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to leverage emergent climate model evaluation techniques to reduce uncertainty in regional climate change projections, particularly related to the water cycle. This 3-year project will focus on applying these methods to high-resolution climate model simulations of the western United...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $796,213 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, to assess and understand the sensitivity of tropical orographic precipitation to climate variations. The research aims to further develop the theory of tropical orographic precipitation and investigate its response to environmental factors like wind speed, temperature, and...
This $1,482,996 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of California, Los Angeles to diagnose and understand the mechanisms behind warm season extreme weather over central and intermountain United States. The grant is funded through the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences support. Specifically, the UCLA researchers will apply statistical...
This $267,007 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant will fund a collaborative research project at Alabama A&M University to reconstruct a 250-300 year record of rainfall extremes and Amazon River water level fluctuations in the Eastern Amazon region. The project aims to use tree-ring data from Cedrela odorata and historical records to determine if recent flood and drought events are within the natural range of climate variability or attributable to...
