This $234,419 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to advance understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric water isotope ratios. The awardee, New Mexico Consortium, will utilize the Community Earth System Model to develop a new water tagging capability and directly assess the influence of physical mechanisms on isotopic composition. This will allow simulated water vapor to record evaporation conditions and...
This Project Grant award of $383,203 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to build a machine learning-based "emulator" that can efficiently predict water isotope patterns from climate variables in existing climate simulations. The goal is to improve understanding of the drivers of isotopic variability, enhance model-data comparison using modern and paleoclimate observations, and support isotope-enabled climate model development. This...
This $241,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will provide a Picarro L2140-I isotopic water analyzer to Grand Valley State University (GVSU) for interdisciplinary research on hydroclimate, water cycling, and ecosystem interactions. The instrument will enable GVSU researchers and students to precisely measure variations in water isotopes to study climate change impacts, freshwater ecosystem health, and groundwater...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a $180,000 postdoctoral fellowship to apply the "triple oxygen isotope" method to study changes in aridity across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) in the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming. The goal is to test whether this new analytical approach can detect shifts in water availability during this past period of global warming, which could improve models for predicting future...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), is aimed at understanding how forests respond to drought and high temperatures. The $290,728 award will fund research to unveil the role of hillslope hydrology in mediating ecosystem response to drought in forest ecosystems. The key products and services to be delivered include: Using a variety of tools, such as direct forest measurements and satellite observations, to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $319,907 to the University of Maryland, College Park to build a machine learning-based "emulator" that can predict water isotope patterns from climate variables in existing global climate simulations. The goal is to develop a cost-efficient method for generating isotopic outputs in climate models that lack built-in isotope capabilities, improving understanding of the drivers of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $562,254 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The purpose of this 3-year grant, with an award date of February 1, 2024, is to use stable oxygen isotopes measured in tree-ring cellulose across the tropical Americas to reconstruct wet season precipitation variability over the past 200 years. This research aims to gain insights into large-scale tropical climate...
This $398,984 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to quantify the biophysical, physiological, and phenological impacts of increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels on vegetation and their effects on future climate change. The research utilizes the Community Earth System Model to examine the direct impacts of CO2 fertilization and stomatal closure, as well as the indirect effects of a longer growing season, on...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $305,824 to Oregon State University supports research to investigate how changes in land cover and climate are impacting water and carbon cycles in grasslands. The key activities include: Quantifying how woody encroachment alters soil water flow and groundwater dynamics in the Konza Prairie research site in Kansas. Measuring the impact of woody encroachment on carbon processes like respiration and...
This $100,000 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences CFDA program, will support research to improve the representation of plants in ecosystem models. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Investigating methods to estimate plant traits using evolutionary histories to improve the parameterization of vegetation hydraulic traits in hydrologic and ecosystem models....
