- This $575,803 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project conducted by the University of Massachusetts to generate a 1.3-million-year record of temperature and rainfall in continental tropical East Africa. The project aims to examine geological records to reconstruct historical trends in temperature, precipitation, and vegetation in this region, which is vulnerable to extreme climate events. The resulting data...
- The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $142,947 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on July 15, 2021 to support research investigating inter-hemispheric phasing of tropical Andean hydroclimate in response to Holocene orbital forcing. The grant will fund a collaborative research project through June 30, 2024 examining how changes in the Earth's orbit and axis have impacted tropical South American climate over the past 12,000 years....
- The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $277,175 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will fund the development of precipitation, evaporation and temperature records from tropical lake sediments and cave deposits for the last 700,000 years. This work supports the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth,...
- This $127,918 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort to study the impacts of climate change on warm-season extreme events in North America. The research aims to improve understanding of the large-scale drivers and local feedbacks affecting the severity and frequency of extreme events such as flooding, heat waves, fires, and droughts. The award to North Carolina State University will fund climate...
- 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...
- 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 Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $368,342 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the project "MCA: Multi-Scale Considerations of Climatic Signatures on Debris Flows and Alluvial Fans" from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated system through basic research support in atmospheric, Earth, and ocean sciences. This three-year grant will support...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $500,000 Project Grant from the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The grant will fund a collaborative research project titled "CAIG: Reliable Generative Downscaling for Geoscience Data" from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028. The project aims to develop a transformative AI-based framework for generating high-fidelity, physically consistent, and uncertainty-calibrated geoscience data. This will...
- This $408,862 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate the mechanisms underlying extreme rainfall events in South Asia. The research aims to: (1) document how low pressure systems, which drive intense rainfall in the region, respond to climate variability; (2) develop a mechanistic understanding of how large-scale atmospheric conditions control low pressure system formation, movement, 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 innovative reconstruction and analytical methods to quantify climate changes and Earth system responses across more than ten consecutive global warming events, generating novel data and advancing the frontiers of climate science. Additionally, the findings will be integrated into K-12 outreach and university teaching materials to contribute to building a strong, competitive STEM workforce. The award was granted to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, a prominent research institution, and the project duration is from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2028.
