This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $431,120 to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) research assistant for paleoclimatology. The project, titled "CAIG: PALEOPAL: An AI Research Assistant for Paleoclimatology", aims to create a generative AI system called PALEOPAL that can help researchers rapidly access and apply the abundance of datasets, analytical methods, and paleoclimate knowledge available for studying how climate has changed in the past.

The PALEOPAL system will be evaluated through three specific paleoclimate research studies: (1) placing recent El Niño-Southern Oscillation variations in the context of the last 10,000 years, (2) detecting climate tipping points and their potential precursors, and (3) generating empirically-based, low-cost climate projections. In addition, the project will engage with publishers to provide guidelines for incorporating AI assistants into paleoclimate research. The award period runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027 and is being jointly supported by the National Discovery Cloud for Climate Initiative within the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure at NSF.
