Project Grant 2503920
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research by Occidental College to investigate tropical hydroclimate responses to periods of abrupt hydrological changes. The $313,622 award, effective from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, will accomplish three primary tasks: Expand cave monitoring efforts in the Philippines to better constrain seasonal variations in karst hydrology. Contribute new...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to understand tropical rainfall patterns in northern South America during the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs. The $349,971 award to Brown University will fund measurements of chemical signals in a sediment core to reconstruct past rainfall, which will provide insights into the hydrological cycle during times of sustained global warmth similar to projected...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $476,878, granted under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program, will fund collaborative research to reconstruct rainfall intensity in mainland Southeast Asia over the last 200,000 years. The project will use geochemical measurements of cave deposits from Laos and Vietnam, along with climate model simulations, to improve understanding of the mechanisms driving variability in the Asian Summer Monsoon and Asian Winter Monsoon. The...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) award in the amount of $220,934 provides funding to William Paterson University of New Jersey from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028 for a collaborative research project to reconstruct rainfall intensity and variability of the Asian Summer Monsoon and Asian Winter Monsoon in mainland Southeast Asia over the past 200,000 years. The project will use geochemical measurements of cave deposits from Laos and Vietnam, along with...
- 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 $417,307 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to reconstruct the Austral-Asian monsoon over the last 1,000 years. The project will compile data from cave deposits, corals, and tree rings, including new records from the Philippines and northern Australia, to produce a comprehensive reconstruction of monsoon behavior. Climate model simulations will then be used to identify the external (solar, aerosol,...
- This $786,904 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to measure absolute paleo-surface temperatures for important past climate periods in the southwestern and northern United States. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will provide quantitative paleoclimate reconstructions using dual clumped isotope and strontium isotope analyses of speleothem samples from multiple caves. Researchers from the University of New Mexico and the University of Michigan...
- 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...
- This $696,926 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds collaborative research between the University of New Mexico, University of South Florida, and Harvard University to advance understanding of global mean sea level variations and the relative contributions of polar ice sheets and glaciers. The researchers will use geological records preserved in coastal cave deposits to reconstruct global mean sea level history over the past 130,000 years...
- This $415,924 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to investigate the large-scale dynamics of the tropical Indo-Pacific region during the Last Glacial Maximum. The project aims to reconstruct the tropical thermocline structure and wind patterns using ocean modeling and geochemical analysis of foraminifera sediment samples. This research will lead to a better understanding of how the...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), is supporting a collaborative research effort to investigate tropical hydroclimate responses to abrupt hydrological changes using cave deposits, monitoring, and model outputs. The $410,124 award, granted to Brown University, will expand cave monitoring in the Philippines, collect new high-resolution cave geochemistry records spanning Heinrich events, and conduct geochemical data-model comparisons to evaluate the mechanisms driving hydrological variability in the Indian Pacific Warm Pool region. This research aims to develop a foundational understanding of rainfall pattern changes during abrupt hydrological events and assess the influence of Northern Hemisphere freshwater fluxes on tropical hydroclimate. The project will fill spatial gaps in the Western Tropical Pacific and improve climate model accuracy, while also strengthening connections with national parks, UNESCO World Heritage sites, and cavers.
