Project Grant 2503543
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $199,294 to the University of Tennessee to quantify the impact of warming-induced changes in seasonal snowpack and streamflow in the Columbia River Basin over the past 500 years. The project will use tree-ring measurements to reconstruct daily streamflow data, which will help improve water management for agriculture, ecosystems, and populations in the basin. The effort will support one...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $101,087 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Illinois for a collaborative research project titled "Ultra-High Resolution Paleostreamflow in Southeast Asia--Proxy/Model Comparison". The goal of this 2-year project, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026, is to synthesize existing tree-ring proxy data to create a seasonal-resolution paleo-streamflow reconstruction for...
- This $403,680 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to improve streamflow monitoring and forecasting methods. The University of Iowa will enhance protocols for continuously monitoring streamflows to more accurately capture effects of flood wave propagation and seasonal riparian vegetation changes. Researchers will integrate direct measurements with numerical models to enable real-time estimation and forecasting of streamflow...
- 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...
- This $256,252 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research by the Aspen Global Change Institute to estimate the emergence of anthropogenic warming signals in snow water resource metrics in mountainous regions. The three-year project grant will use an innovative modeling framework including a large ensemble climate model, statistical learning techniques, and process-based hydrological modeling to analyze uncertainty and attribute changes in...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) provides $145,003.00 to the University of Illinois to conduct collaborative research on glaciers and climate change in the Klamath Mountains of Northern California. The primary objectives are to reconstruct past glacier changes over the last 20,000 years in this region and evaluate the mechanisms driving these climate changes. The study will use a multidisciplinary approach including geomorphic mapping,...
- This $146,700 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to synthesize existing tree-ring proxy data in Southeast Asia and compare it to paleo-streamflow estimates generated by a hydrological model. The goal is to create a seasonal-resolution paleo-streamflow reconstruction for the region and illuminate the mechanisms driving observed streamflow dynamics. The project includes support for two early...
- This $599,998 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to estimate the emergence of anthropogenic climate change signals in snow water resource metrics in mountainous regions. Led by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, the project will use an innovative modeling framework including a large ensemble climate model and process-based hydrological modeling. It aims to strengthen understanding of when and how much climate change...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will provide $188,118 to the University of Wyoming to define the role of snow in storing and transmitting liquid water to generate streamflow. The 5-year project will develop a long-term snowmelt monitoring program and conduct field observations and modeling to improve understanding of snowmelt dynamics. The research aims to fill a knowledge gap and produce transformational insights on...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $523,014 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to develop computational models of global carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes from inland waters. The research aims to provide robust, physically-constrained estimates of CO2 emissions from rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs by coupling hydrologic and hydraulic routing systems with a stream network CO2 model. The project will validate the...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $248,117 Project Grant to the University of Illinois to conduct collaborative research on quantifying warming-induced seasonal streamflow changes in the Columbia River basin over the past 500 years. The project will use a novel combination of statistical and modeling techniques, as well as measurements of tree ring archives, to reconstruct daily streamflow patterns and better understand the impacts of changing snowpack and seasonal flow on ecosystems, agriculture, and water management in the region. The project will support one postdoctoral researcher and two graduate students, and collaborate with Futurum Careers to create educational materials and conduct public outreach efforts. The project aims to provide valuable information about long-term streamflow variability to aid water resource management in the Columbia River basin.
