- This Project Grant award of $599,937 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a critical assessment of the recent rapid decline in land surface relative humidity (RH) and its impacts. The principal investigator at The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) will lead this research project from September 2025 through August 2028. The project aims to explain the causes of the observed RH decline, which has major implications...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $796,213 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, to assess and understand the sensitivity of tropical orographic precipitation to climate variations. The research aims to further develop the theory of tropical orographic precipitation and investigate its response to environmental factors like wind speed, temperature, and...
- 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 $575,803 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project conducted by the University of Massachusetts to generate a 1.3-million-year record of temperature and rainfall in continental tropical East Africa. The project aims to examine geological records to reconstruct historical trends in temperature, precipitation, and vegetation in this region, which is vulnerable to extreme climate events. The resulting data...

The grant supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through expanded knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the university will conduct collaborative research to...
- 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...
- 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 $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...
- This $695,079 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to enhance the understanding of drought trends and soil moisture-precipitation feedbacks in the Congo rainforest. The research will investigate the counterintuitive relationship between decreasing precipitation and increasing thunderstorm activity, referred to as the "Congo Precipitation Paradox." The study, conducted by The Research Foundation for the State University...
