- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $119,293 to James Madison University for collaborative research on quantitative paleoclimatology of the East African monsoon from August 15, 2021 to July 31, 2024. 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 $103,171 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research effort to advance the understanding of global paleoclimate through the expansion of African dendrochronology. The project aims to measure radiocarbon, tree ring width, and wood anatomy from dominant tree species in Zambia to develop multi-century climate records. These data will be used to create a gridded precipitation reconstruction for the region and...
- This Project Grant award of $399,996.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to identify non-linearities in rainfall and river responses to consecutive paleogene global warming events. The research aims to provide critical insights into how the Earth's climate system responds to extreme warming, which can improve the ability to anticipate and manage risks such as flooding and extreme rainfall. The project will apply...
- This $289,672 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to reconstruct rainfall intensity and variability in mainland Southeast Asia over the past 200,000 years. The research team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will analyze geochemical data from cave deposits in Laos and Vietnam, along with climate model simulations, to understand the mechanisms driving changes in the Asian Summer...
- This $696,515 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research and outreach on variations in the pace of surface temperature change. The awardee, University of California Santa Cruz, will conduct statistical analysis of global climate observations to identify regions and periods with accelerated warming rates over the past two centuries. Model simulations will determine the causes of detected changes and quantify future warming rates...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) provides $416,261 to Bryant University to engage U.S. undergraduate and graduate students in research on the long-term climate and environmental history of the Afromontane forests in the Usambara Mountains of Tanzania. The research aims to reconstruct the ecological resilience of these globally significant biodiversity hotspots, which are threatened by changing rainfall...
- This $172,778 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to test climate model predictions of hydrologic change in the tropical Atlantic during a past warm period. Specifically, the awardee, Utah State University, will geochemically analyze oxygen isotopes and magnesium-to-calcium ratios in planktonic foraminifera from deep-sea sediment cores at several sites, including Ocean Drilling Project Site...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $560,589 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Washington University in University City, Missouri. The grant will fund a 5-year project titled "CAREER: Mechanisms of Holocene Rainfall Change in the Northern Tropical Americas" that aims to reconstruct historical rainfall patterns in Central America and Northern South America using sediment core data. The research will investigate the drivers of rainfall changes...
- This $319,165 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to advance understanding of global paleoclimate through the expansion of African dendrochronology. The key products and services to be delivered include: Measuring radiocarbon, tree ring width, and quantitative wood anatomy from dominant tree species in Zambia to develop multi-century climate records Using these data to create a gridded reconstruction of past precipitation in the...
- This $119,998 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to reconstruct the behavior of the Austral-Asian monsoon over the last 1,000 years. The project will synthesize existing data from stalagmites, corals, and tree rings, while also developing new cave records from the Philippines and northern Australia. This multi-proxy reconstruction will guide climate model simulations to identify the drivers of...
