Project Grant 2503666
- The University of California, Santa Barbara received a $382,468 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the hydrologic expression of the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the tropical Pacific Ocean. The researchers will create a detailed map or "isoscape" showing how oxygen isotope values in seawater and rainfall vary across the modern tropical Pacific during ENSO events, and couple this with...
- This $363,235 Project Grant was awarded on August 1, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Illinois. The grant supports a collaborative research project to investigate the hydrologic expression of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the tropical Pacific Ocean. The research aims to create a detailed "isoscape" mapping oxygen isotope values in seawater and rainfall across the modern tropical Pacific during ENSO events....
- This $749,164 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to reconstruct climate linkages across the tropical oceans over the last millennium. The University of California, Santa Barbara will collaborate with researchers to produce records of tropical sea surface temperature variability using geochemistry from long-lived corals in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. Comparing multi-century coral data from these ocean basins...
- This $332,944 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Rowan University from September 2022 through August 2025 to study how the spatial patterns of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability changed during colder background climate conditions approximately 20,000 years ago. The grantee will analyze geochemistry from planktic foraminifera shells collected from sediment cores at key locations in the central and eastern...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,227,787 Project Grant under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Texas at Austin to reconstruct changes in El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and tropical Pacific decadal variability over time periods such as the last glacial period and deglaciation. The project will utilize fossil corals and speleothems from locations in the South Pacific to generate paleoclimate records, which will be compared to climate model simulations to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $588,786 project grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) to develop replicated coral geochemical reconstructions to understand dynamics of the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) in the context of climate change. The project aims to analyze temperature-sensitive elements preserved in coral cores from American Samoa, Fiji, and Tonga to reconstruct...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences Project Grant awarded $442,344 to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to conduct research under the NSF's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The research aims to evaluate the emergence of an anthropogenic signal in the tropical Indo-Pacific region by leveraging long-term, seasonal coral data, instrumental observations, and climate model...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) EAGER grant award of $256,539 to the Florida Institute of Technology Inc. (Florida TECH) supports a project to investigate the history of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events over the past 5,000 years. The research team aims to create a composite ENSO record from multiple sedimentary records in the lowland Neotropics of northern South America. This will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the frequency and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $156,445 to the Smithsonian Institution to conduct research on the effects of the 2023-2024 El Niño event on consumer interactions and marine biodiversity in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP) region. This project, funded under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will utilize short-term predator exclusion and exposure experiments to measure how increased ocean temperatures and weakened upwelling impact top-down control of...
- This $440,785 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Miami to model how El Niño-Southern Oscillation patterns may change under future climate conditions and how those changes could alter related terrestrial impacts across North America. Over a three-year period ending in October 2025, the grantee will use sophisticated computer simulations to systematically test scenarios of potential ENSO variability and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $230,326 to Brown University supports collaborative research to improve understanding of how the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is recorded in oxygen isotope data from tropical Pacific Ocean corals. The researchers will create detailed maps of oxygen isotope variations in seawater and rainfall across the tropical Pacific during ENSO events, which will be coupled with ocean model simulations. This work will enable more comprehensive interpretation of past ENSO intensity from coral oxygen isotope records, advancing knowledge of how ENSO-related hydrologic anomalies are reflected in this data. The award has an August 1, 2025 start date and a July 31, 2028 ultimate completion date.
