This $1,482,996 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of California, Los Angeles to diagnose and understand the mechanisms behind warm season extreme weather over central and intermountain United States. The grant is funded through the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences support. Specifically, the UCLA researchers will apply statistical...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $944,511 Geosciences program Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Office of Research Administration on September 1, 2024. Under this award, UCLA will conduct research to understand changes in summertime continental temperature extremes, including the physical mechanisms driving faster warming of the hottest days compared to average temperatures. The research will analyze observational data and climate model...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $175,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Arizona State University to develop a geostatistical framework for modeling spatiotemporal extremes, such as heat waves, drought, and intense precipitation. The research aims to better understand the distributions of extreme weather events and develop statistical tools to model the associated spatial and temporal trends and uncertainties. The project will...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $199,770.00 to Texas A&M University to study the impacts of wildfire smoke on the Earth's energy budget and climate. The key products and services to be delivered include: Incorporating existing plume-rise modeling and black carbon absorption data into the NCAR Community Earth System Model (CESM2) to quantify the uncertainties in estimating the radiative effects of biomass burning...
This Project Grant award for $202,000 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to develop data-driven methods for predicting extreme weather events under climate change. The principal investigator, who is based at the University of Chicago, will use a hierarchy of climate models, including simplified dynamical models and archived CMIP simulations, to train neural networks capable of capturing the statistics of rare extreme events. This work seeks...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $552,632 provides funding from August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025 to support the research project "Defining the Paleoclimate-Fire Relationship in CA Across Temporal Scales Through Integrated Monitoring, Stalagmite Studies, and Proxy System Modeling." The award is made under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support basic research expanding understanding of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, the University of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant award of $202,000 will support a 2-year postdoctoral research fellowship to study the dynamic and thermodynamic mechanisms and response to climate change of thunderstorm precipitation in the western United States. The key objectives are to: 1) analyze the relative importance of dynamic and thermodynamic factors contributing to thunderstorm precipitation across the western U.S. and observed changes over time,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $108,519 to the University of Oklahoma to conduct collaborative research on predictive understanding of wildfire spotting and smoke transport within the atmospheric boundary layer. The research aims to gain a predictive understanding of the physical processes that drive rapid wildfire spread and associated smoke plumes, in order to guide firefighters and communities on more...
This $1,389,411 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the continuing research efforts of the Principal Investigator to understand the probability distribution of rainfall intensity and its relationship to climate change. The key objectives include: Explaining why increases in precipitation intensity in a warming climate exceed expectations based solely on increased water vapor content. Exploring how the suppression of convection due...
This $397,337 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the drivers and impacts of warm-season climate extremes in North America under a changing climate. The awardee, Northern Illinois University, will use high-resolution global climate modeling to examine how factors across various spatial scales influence extreme events like floods, heat waves and droughts. Researchers will simulate past and potential future warm seasons to...
