Project Grant 2437879
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $862,940 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Columbia University to conduct collaborative research on extreme rainfall events in South Asia. The project aims to: (1) document how low pressure weather systems change in response to climate variability; (2) develop a mechanistic understanding of how large-scale atmospheric conditions influence the formation, movement, and intensity of these weather systems; and (3) evaluate...
- This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $190,000 to leverage high-resolution modeling and dynamical theory to elucidate changes in extreme precipitation in a monsoonal regime. The funding will support basic research from October 2021 through September 2023 aimed at strengthening understanding of the integrated Earth system, as outlined in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) of enhancing fundamental knowledge and...
- This $289,672 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to reconstruct rainfall intensity and variability in mainland Southeast Asia over the past 200,000 years. The research team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will analyze geochemical data from cave deposits in Laos and Vietnam, along with climate model simulations, to understand the mechanisms driving changes in the Asian Summer...
- This $417,307 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to reconstruct the Austral-Asian monsoon over the last 1,000 years. The project will compile data from cave deposits, corals, and tree rings, including new records from the Philippines and northern Australia, to produce a comprehensive reconstruction of monsoon behavior. Climate model simulations will then be used to identify the external (solar, aerosol,...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) award in the amount of $220,934 provides funding to William Paterson University of New Jersey from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028 for a collaborative research project to reconstruct rainfall intensity and variability of the Asian Summer Monsoon and Asian Winter Monsoon in mainland Southeast Asia over the past 200,000 years. The project will use geochemical measurements of cave deposits from Laos and Vietnam, along with...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will provide $417,242 to The Research Foundation for The State University of New York (RF-SUNY) from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026 to conduct collaborative research on the 50,000-year history of the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM). The research will focus on analyzing sediment cores from Loktak Lake in northeast India to reconstruct past changes in the...
- 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 $1,201,906 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Cornell University to address three fundamental questions aimed at advancing the understanding of extreme precipitation events. The key objectives are to: 1) investigate how precipitation distribution depends on spatial and temporal scales, 2) assess the comparative roles of aerosol and greenhouse gas forcing in determining precipitation distribution, and 3)...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $476,878, granted under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program, will fund collaborative research to reconstruct rainfall intensity in mainland Southeast Asia over the last 200,000 years. The project will use geochemical measurements of cave deposits from Laos and Vietnam, along with climate model simulations, to improve understanding of the mechanisms driving variability in the Asian Summer Monsoon and Asian Winter Monsoon. The...
This $408,862 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate the mechanisms underlying extreme rainfall events in South Asia. The research aims to: (1) document how low pressure systems, which drive intense rainfall in the region, respond to climate variability; (2) develop a mechanistic understanding of how large-scale atmospheric conditions control low pressure system formation, movement, and intensity; and (3) evaluate climate models' ability to simulate low pressure systems and their interactions with large-scale conditions. By connecting planetary-scale climate forcing to regional precipitation patterns, the project contributes to basic scientific understanding of global climate variability while also addressing practical water resource management, agricultural planning, and disaster preparedness challenges across South Asia. The award is held by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York, which will leverage its expertise and facilities to execute this 3-year research initiative starting in September 2025.
