This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $518,808 to the University of Michigan to assess atmospheric impacts of the 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption. The University will use observations and modeling to evaluate how the eruption affected Earth's energy budget, stratospheric temperatures and circulation patterns, and Antarctic ozone hole formation. Researchers...
This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $792,434 will fund research using sophisticated climate modeling to investigate atmospheric convection and cloud formation over a wide range of conditions. Led by President and Fellows of Harvard College, also known as Harvard University, the research focuses on very hot atmospheres with high humidity levels that occurred during Earth's distant past. The investigations will yield new insights into climate regimes on Earth and other...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $282,980 project grant to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) at the University at Albany. The grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, supports collaborative research to diagnose global climatic responses to large volcanic eruptions. The key research effort involves providing proxy-based global estimates of spatiotemporal changes in temperature...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $493,422 over 3 years to The Trustees of Columbia University for a collaborative research project to diagnose global climatic responses to large volcanic eruptions. The key products or services to be delivered through this funding include: Providing proxy-based global estimates of spatiotemporal changes in temperature and...
This $538,591 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to investigate the relationship between tropical sea surface temperatures and temperature changes in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL), which regulates the amount of ozone and water vapor entering the stratosphere. The research aims to reconcile two competing theories on this relationship using idealized modeling experiments with different climate models....
This $523,946 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research linking helium isotope ratios with eruptive behavior at recent volcanoes in Hawaii, Iceland, and the Canary Islands. The awardee, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, will extract helium from lava samples spanning eruptions at Kilauea volcano (2018), Fagradalsfjall volcano (2021), and Cumbre Vieja volcano (2021) to establish time series of helium isotope ratios. The researchers...
This $136,482 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funded a rapid bathymetric survey and related research activities to study the effects of the January 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano in the Kingdom of Tonga. The University of Texas at Dallas, in collaboration with GNS Science of New Zealand, deployed the 28-meter research vessel R/V Kaharoa to map changes to the seafloor near the summit and flanks of the submarine caldera...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation provides $174,000 to study the role of deformation in triggering volcanic eruptions. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this award will support research from September 2021 through August 2023 to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences through basic research. This particular grant will further...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $599,872 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant supports research to advance understanding of wildfire impacts on stratospheric chemistry through several linked components. MIT will study the chemical impacts of increased hydrogen bromide solubility in organic aerosols from wildfires and ozone production in stratospheric air from wildfire emissions. Researchers...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $302,617 project grant to Stanford University from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant supports research towards developing a process-based understanding of different eruptive regimes at persistently degassing volcanoes. This work will advance the goals of the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and...
