This $440,785 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Miami to model how El Niño-Southern Oscillation patterns may change under future climate conditions and how those changes could alter related terrestrial impacts across North America. Over a three-year period ending in October 2025, the grantee will use sophisticated computer simulations to systematically test scenarios of potential ENSO variability and...
This $332,944 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Rowan University from September 2022 through August 2025 to study how the spatial patterns of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability changed during colder background climate conditions approximately 20,000 years ago. The grantee will analyze geochemistry from planktic foraminifera shells collected from sediment cores at key locations in the central and eastern...
This $341,117 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to improve understanding of potential changes to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) impacts from climate change. The awardee, North Carolina State University, will use sophisticated computer modeling to systematically test scenarios of how different possible future changes to ENSO could alter temperature and precipitation patterns over North America. The research seeks to...
The University of California Irvine received a three-year, $814,240 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research understanding the multi-year dynamics of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), including its El Niño and La Niña asymmetries and climate impacts from September 2021 through August 2024. As part of the Geosciences program's goal of expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric,...
The University of Miami received a $708,450 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences to conduct collaborative research on El Niño/Southern Oscillation predictability from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2027.
Through numerical simulations using the Community Earth System Model, the University will analyze the role of initial ocean conditions and atmospheric noise in limiting the predictability of ENSO events. Software and relevant datasets...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $156,445 to the Smithsonian Institution to conduct research on the effects of the 2023-2024 El Niño event on consumer interactions and marine biodiversity in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP) region. This project, funded under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will utilize short-term predator exclusion and exposure experiments to measure how increased ocean temperatures and weakened upwelling impact top-down control of...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to explore the dynamics and predictability of coastal El Niño events and their relationship to the broader El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. The $644,460 award, which commenced on June 1, 2024, will be led by the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
The research investigates the underlying mechanisms driving coastal El Niño events, which can cause heavy...
This $482,354 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort to study climate variability in the central tropical Pacific over the last millennium. The project will assemble radiocarbon-dated coral samples from the central equatorial Pacific to reconstruct monthly-resolution records of seawater temperature and salinity conditions, with a focus on the Medieval Climate Anomaly (850-1300 CE) and the...
North Carolina State University received a four-year, $480,580 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on El Niño/Southern Oscillation predictability. The university will use numerical simulations with the Community Earth System Model to test the hypothesis that some ENSO events are inherently more predictable than others due to factors like subsurface ocean preconditioning that can render the system less...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded the University of Texas at Austin a $1,150,800 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of May 1, 2021 through April 30, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--EL NI?O SOUTHERN OSCILLATION (ENSO) VARIABILITY CHANGES DURING ABRUPT CLIMATE EVENTS" to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system...
