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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort to trace Pacific Ocean circulation and ventilation patterns during the warm Pliocene epoch. The $387,909 award, dated August 15, 2024, will fund the generation of new paleoceanographic records to test hypotheses about active North Pacific deep-water formation and overturning circulation during this warmer-than-present geological interval. The primary goals...
This $172,778 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to test climate model predictions of hydrologic change in the tropical Atlantic during a past warm period. Specifically, the awardee, Utah State University, will geochemically analyze oxygen isotopes and magnesium-to-calcium ratios in planktonic foraminifera from deep-sea sediment cores at several sites, including Ocean Drilling Project Site...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a 3-year, $461,546 Project Grant to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct collaborative research on a 50,000-year continuous record of the Indian Summer Monsoon from Loktak Lake in northeast India. The project aims to improve understanding of the relative importance of factors like greenhouse gas concentrations, ocean circulation patterns, and climate variability in driving gradual and abrupt changes in the Indian...

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 experienced greater seasonal and year-to-year variability. The project aims to provide insights into future climate risks for the Indian Ocean region and beyond. The award will also support a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Arizona to lead the research and mentor a high school and tribal college student in Arizona.
