This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to reconstruct rainfall intensity and variability in mainland Southeast Asia over the last 200,000 years. The $476,878 project, with a performance period from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028, will use geochemical measurements of cave deposits from Laos and Vietnam to understand the mechanisms driving variability in the Asian Summer Monsoon and Asian Winter Monsoon. The research,...
This Project Grant award of $220,934, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research project to reconstruct rainfall intensity and Asian monsoon patterns in mainland Southeast Asia over the past 200,000 years. The research team from William Paterson University of New Jersey will analyze stable isotopes and trace elements in cave deposits (speleothems) from Laos and Vietnam, along with climate model simulations, to improve...
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) received a $164,055 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--SPELEOTHEM CONSTRAINTS ON SEASONAL HYDROCLIMATE VARIABILITY IN MAINLAND SOUTHEAST ASIA SINCE THE LATE PLEISTOCENE." The grant was awarded on July 1, 2021 with a completion date of June 30, 2024 under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Through this award, MIT researchers will work to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $258,922 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support the collaborative research project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--MADAGASCAR CAVES AND PALEOCLIMATE II (MADCAP II), CONTINUING STUDY OF CLIMATE VARIABILITY IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE OF THE WESTERN INDIAN OCEAN." The three-year project, which commenced on July...
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 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $190,000 to leverage high-resolution modeling and dynamical theory to elucidate changes in extreme precipitation in a monsoonal regime. The funding will support basic research from October 2021 through September 2023 aimed at strengthening understanding of the integrated Earth system, as outlined in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) of enhancing fundamental knowledge and...
This $495,062 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research examining interpretations of the oxygen isotopic composition of Asian cave calcite at abrupt, millennial, and orbital timescales. Specifically, the grantee will further explore the previously constructed 640,000-year high-resolution record of oxygen isotopic composition in Chinese cave calcite affected by the Asian monsoon...
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 National Science Foundation project grant award of $327,974 provides funding from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025 to Purdue University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award will support collaborative research between US and UK researchers to reconstruct a high-resolution record of the South Asian monsoon over the past 20 million years. Modeling studies will help interpret the records to better understand variability and future changes in the crucial monsoon...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $440,059 project grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for research activities under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support improved understanding of the moist dynamics of extratropical storm tracks and their response to climate change from February 2021 through January 2024. As part of its mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system,...
