This $377,096 National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will assess current and future dust flux from the Northern Great Plains region of the United States. The research team at the University of South Dakota (USD) will analyze historical data, conduct wind tunnel experiments, and model dust emissions to understand the impact of extreme climate variability and drought on wind erosion and dust storms, with insights from the 1930s Dust Bowl. The...
This $800,565 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to explore the meteorological drivers of global mineral dust emissions. The project will leverage high-resolution climate model simulations to investigate the role of two key wind event types - downslope windstorms and haboobs - in generating atmospheric dust, and incorporate the...
This $211,326 National Science Foundation Office of International Science and Engineering Project Grant will support the "GYP-NEXTGEN: Empowering Future Scientists within an International Consortium Focused on Gypsum Plant Communities" program. The award will fund research and training for 18 undergraduate students from Oberlin College, New Mexico State University, and John Carroll University to conduct mentored research projects with partners in Spain. Students will advance...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) awarded a $450,000 Project Grant (CFDA 47.079) to Southern Methodist University (SMU) to support an International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) program. This 3-year project will provide U.S. students from SMU and Colorado School of Mines the opportunity to conduct collaborative research with faculty and students at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia-Medellín campus. The research aims to...
This Project Grant award of $505,759 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at Portland State University's Center for Climate and Aerosol Research. The program aims to train a diverse cohort of 10 students annually over 3 years in atmospheric and climate science research, with a focus on recruiting from underrepresented groups. Key objectives include providing hands-on research opportunities,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), is providing $185,043 to the University of Utah to assess current and future dust flux from the Northern Great Plains of the United States. The research team will investigate the types of dust sources and emission processes that occurred during the 1930s Dust Bowl drought in the Northern Great Plains, in comparison to the Southern Great Plains. The researchers will collect weather...
This $198,591 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on understanding the formation and impacts of warm-season trans-Atlantic African dust extremes. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University of Kansas Center for Research will examine atmospheric circulation and land surface processes responsible for extreme dust events. Using satellite data, ground observations, and reanalysis, the researchers will identify causes of high dust loadings over the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $363,742 Project Grant to the University of Oklahoma under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research probing causal links between volcanism, dust, and carbon burial during the Permian period through fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and climate modeling.
Specifically, Rowan University will lead field and lab efforts assessing the nature of volcaniclastic deposits in France,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $176,639 to the University of New Mexico (UNM) will be used to acquire a laser diffraction particle size analyzer. This state-of-the-art instrument will enable UNM scientists and students to generate insights into Earth's past and future through advanced analysis of particle size and shape in soil, sediment, and airborne dust samples. Key applications include understanding environmental change,...
The National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) program awarded a $187,684 Project Grant to the University of Arizona on January 1, 2024. This international research and educational collaboration between 7 U.S. and 3 Chinese institutions will evaluate the hypothesis that atmospheric dust from Central Asia fertilized the North Pacific Ocean, stimulated algal productivity, and drew down atmospheric CO2 levels, potentially triggering Northern Hemisphere...
