The project aims to develop climate emulators using machine learning to extract statistical relationships from observational data and physics-based climate simulations, with the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,030,041 Project Grant under CFDA 47.050 Geosciences to Colorado State University (CSU) to conduct research on the pattern effect and its impact on radiative feedbacks in the Earth system. The project, titled "ANALYSES OF THE PATTERN EFFECT ON RADIATIVE FEEDBACKS: GAINING PHYSICAL INSIGHTS FROM STATISTICAL METHODS; TESTING THE ROLE OF LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURES -THE RESPONSE OF THE GLOBAL ATMOSPHERE/OCEAN SYSTEM TO RADIATIVE FORCING DEPENDS...
- 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...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a three-year $336,534 Project Grant to the University of Colorado Boulder under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research on the role of extreme rainstorms and hydroclimatic regimes on arid escarpment retreat and sub-cliff slope evolution. The research funded through this award will strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences as outlined under...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a $216,562 collaborative research project between the University of Southern California (USC) and George Mason University to characterize hydroclimate changes over Western North America and Europe in response to the global warmth of the Middle Miocene period (around 15 million years ago). The project aims to understand how water availability may change in a warming climate by investigating...
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 and unique data on extremely warm climates of the past. Using cutting-edge methods, the research team will measure changes in rainfall intensity, flooding, and other climate shifts across more than ten consecutive global warming events. The findings are expected to improve the ability to anticipate and manage risks such as flooding and extreme rainfall, strengthening national resilience and protecting public welfare. The project will also contribute to building a strong, competitive STEM workforce by integrating research findings into K-12 outreach and university teaching materials.
