- 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...
- The University of Washington will receive $920,171 from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on convection, clouds, and sea surface temperature from November 2021 through October 2024. As part of the Geosciences program's goal of expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, this three-year Project Grant will support the University's study of...
- This $127,918 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort to study the impacts of climate change on warm-season extreme events in North America. The research aims to improve understanding of the large-scale drivers and local feedbacks affecting the severity and frequency of extreme events such as flooding, heat waves, fires, and droughts. The award to North Carolina State University will fund climate...
- 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...
- This $226,880 National Science Foundation project grant funds research titled "WARM RAIN IN COMPLEX COASTAL TERRAIN--IMPROVING PROCESS-LEVEL UNDERSTANDING AND MODEL REPRESENTATION" from September 1, 2021 through February 28, 2023. The grant is awarded under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, the grant will fund research at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $480,579 will fund research at the University of Washington from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025 to reconstruct Earth's energy imbalance over the past 1,000 years. The research will use paleoclimate data assimilation methods to combine proxy climate records with physical constraints from climate models to reconstruct fields like outgoing shortwave and longwave radiation at the top of the atmosphere. This will provide a proxy-constrained...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $644,970 Project Grant to the University of Washington (UW) on August 15, 2025, with a completion date of July 31, 2028. The award supports collaborative research to investigate the role of atmospheric heat transport, radiation, and soil moisture on observed heatwaves, their representation in climate models, and future changes. Specifically, the project aims to: (i) analyze the physical mechanisms responsible for daily surface air temperature (SAT) variance in observations; (ii) diagnose potential biases in SAT variance in global climate models and the underlying causes; and (iii) develop a framework to understand robust mechanisms of future changes in SAT variance and their impact on heatwave intensity. The research will leverage observational datasets and targeted model simulations to decompose SAT variance and improve projections of future heatwave intensity by accounting for model biases.
