This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) program (CFDA 47.079) will provide $447,335 to the University of Oklahoma to train U.S. undergraduate students to study the texture and mineralogy of mineral dust, a critical component of fertile agricultural soils. The 3-year project will use field sampling, laboratory analyses, and limited detrital-zircon provenance studies to characterize the origin and properties of dust...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $695,256 to support research studying aerosol transport, forcing, and climate feedbacks during the Common and Last Glacial eras. The Desert Research Institute, operating as a division of the Nevada System of Higher Education, will lead a collaborative research effort through August 2024 to strengthen understanding of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $192,386 Project Grant through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Arizona for a 3-year collaborative research project to reconstruct tropical rainfall patterns over the last 200 years. The project aims to use stable oxygen isotopes measured in tree ring cellulose from sites across Central and South America to study variations in the position and width of the Intertropical Convergence Zone and understand how these changes...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $851,808 to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a project grant running from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The grant will support research analyzing tectonic degassing as a potential driver of the mid-Miocene climate transition approximately 14 million years ago, when the Earth experienced sustained cooling. Key products include new biomarker-based sea surface...
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...
The University of Arizona was awarded a $325,127 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate climate variability in the Indian Ocean during the warm Pliocene period. The researchers will analyze marine sediment cores to determine short-term temperature fluctuations in the tropical and subtropical Indian Ocean around 3 million years ago. This data will be combined with climate modeling to understand how a warmer Indian Ocean may have...
This $495,062 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research examining interpretations of the oxygen isotopic composition of Asian cave calcite at abrupt, millennial, and orbital timescales. Specifically, the grantee will further explore the previously constructed 640,000-year high-resolution record of oxygen isotopic composition in Chinese cave calcite affected by the Asian monsoon...
The University of Arizona was awarded a two-year, $416,602 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences. The grant falls under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen the national scientific enterprise. Specifically, the University will conduct a collaborative research project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--SUBDECADAL PLEISTOCENE INDIAN...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $892,703 Project Grant to The Ohio State University to develop a framework using modeling approaches to interpret climate variability from ice core delta oxygen-18 in low-latitude and tropical glaciers. The researchers will examine water isotopes in surface precipitation and throughout the atmospheric column in the tropical Andes and northwestern Tibetan Plateau regions. The goal is to improve...
This three-year, $109,644 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences aims to advance understanding of abrupt climate change through reconstructing fluctuations of a late-glacial ice mass in eastern North America. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University of Arizona will lead efforts to determine the role of seasonality in abrupt climate shifts by mapping glacial landforms and dating the pattern and timing of recession for an ice cap...
