- This National Science Foundation Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) award of $258,917 to Northern Arizona University supports collaborative research to assess past and future droughts in the Colorado River Basin over the past 2,000 years. The project will extend tree-ring reconstructions of drought and combine them with other geological records to characterize the intensity and persistence of past droughts, including a potentially severe drought in the 2nd century. This research aims to inform...
- The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $464,646 Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) project grant to the University of Wyoming (UW) to study the magnitude and drivers of past droughts in the headwaters of the Snake, Colorado, and Missouri Rivers. The project aims to quantify changes in precipitation, evaporation, and snowmelt processes in the Rocky Mountains over the past 15,000 years since the last ice age. This research will provide robust benchmarks for evaluating changes to...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $542,834 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research reconstructing Southern Rocky Mountains warm season temperatures over the past 2,000 years. The research aims to develop a temperature reconstruction using bristlecone pine from the Rio Grande headwaters region, augmented with updated hydroclimate reconstructions, to evaluate long-term regional temperature and hydroclimate...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $399,996 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) to conduct collaborative research on identifying non-linearities in rainfall and river responses to consecutive Paleogene global warming events. This 3-year project, starting September 1, 2025, aims to advance fundamental understanding of how rainfall patterns and river systems respond to a changing climate by collecting new...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $135,001 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado to support collaborative research on anthropogenic water management, climate change, and environmental sustainability in the Southwestern United States. The three-year award, made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research from September 2021 through August 2024 examining the interrelationships between human water usage, climate...
- This $420,167 National Science Foundation project grant funds research at the University of Virginia to develop integrated drought management policies for the Upper Colorado River Basin. The goal is to evaluate potential economic, environmental and social impacts of droughts under current water management practices versus forecast-informed coordination of water markets and critical infrastructure operations. The research team will analyze impacts using regression models and develop an...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reduce uncertainties in tree-ring records of wet extremes to better interpret past climate and plan for future changes. The total funding amount is $324,677, with an award date of July 1, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2027. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Using dendrometers (instruments that record tree growth in real-time) to...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $800,670 will support research to extend tree-ring based reconstructions of Atlantic Gulf Basin hydroclimate over the Common Era. Led by the University of Arizona with completion expected by June 2025, the project aims to collect old-growth bald cypress and longleaf pine samples from trees harvested in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These extended tree-ring chronologies will be used to develop regional and seasonal hydroclimate...
- This $166,266 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop integrated drought management policies for the Upper Colorado River Basin. The researchers will evaluate the economic and environmental impacts of droughts on agricultural and urban communities under current water management practices. They will then develop and analyze alternative plans that coordinate forecast-informed...
- This $270,754 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program supports collaborative research to investigate the impacts of the ongoing megadrought in the American West on soil moisture, ecosystem carbon-water cycling, and remote sensing capabilities. The research team, led by the Trustees of Indiana University, will synthesize hundreds of long-term soil moisture measurements with remotely-sensed data and eddy covariance tower observations to...
