Project Grant 2503966
- This $749,164 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to reconstruct climate linkages across the tropical oceans over the last millennium. The University of California, Santa Barbara will collaborate with researchers to produce records of tropical sea surface temperature variability using geochemistry from long-lived corals in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. Comparing multi-century coral data from these ocean basins...
- This $332,944 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Rowan University from September 2022 through August 2025 to study how the spatial patterns of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability changed during colder background climate conditions approximately 20,000 years ago. The grantee will analyze geochemistry from planktic foraminifera shells collected from sediment cores at key locations in the central and eastern...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $687,689 to fund research investigating the dynamics of temperature patterns in the Pacific Ocean across different timescales. The project aims to advance fundamental understanding of key aspects of Pacific Ocean dynamics, with the goal of reconciling discrepancies between climate model simulations and observations related to trends in the tropical Pacific and associated regional...
- This $440,785 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Miami to model how El Niño-Southern Oscillation patterns may change under future climate conditions and how those changes could alter related terrestrial impacts across North America. Over a three-year period ending in October 2025, the grantee will use sophisticated computer simulations to systematically test scenarios of potential ENSO variability and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $230,326 to Brown University supports collaborative research to improve understanding of how the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is recorded in oxygen isotope data from tropical Pacific Ocean corals. The researchers will create detailed maps of oxygen isotope variations in seawater and rainfall across the tropical Pacific during ENSO events, which will be coupled with ocean model simulations. This...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded the University of Texas at Austin a $1,150,800 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of May 1, 2021 through April 30, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--EL NI?O SOUTHERN OSCILLATION (ENSO) VARIABILITY CHANGES DURING ABRUPT CLIMATE EVENTS" to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $588,786 project grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) to develop replicated coral geochemical reconstructions to understand dynamics of the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) in the context of climate change. The project aims to analyze temperature-sensitive elements preserved in coral cores from American Samoa, Fiji, and Tonga to reconstruct...
- The National Science Foundation awarded Rowan University a $166,722 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to characterize stratigraphy and paleotemperature estimates from the Last Interglacial period in the tropical Pacific Ocean. The university will analyze sediment cores from the eastern equatorial Pacific to reconstruct El Niño Southern Oscillation behavior during the warm period known as Marine Isotope Stage 5e, which occurred approximately 119,000 to 126,000 years ago....
- The University of California, Santa Barbara received a $382,468 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the hydrologic expression of the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the tropical Pacific Ocean. The researchers will create a detailed map or "isoscape" showing how oxygen isotope values in seawater and rainfall vary across the modern tropical Pacific during ENSO events, and couple this with...
- 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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,227,787 Project Grant under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Texas at Austin to reconstruct changes in El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and tropical Pacific decadal variability over time periods such as the last glacial period and deglaciation. The project will utilize fossil corals and speleothems from locations in the South Pacific to generate paleoclimate records, which will be compared to climate model simulations to analyze the physical mechanisms driving interannual and decadal variability in the tropical Pacific. The research aims to improve understanding and predictability of ENSO and tropical Pacific decadal variability, and includes support for postdoctoral and undergraduate participation as well as collaboration with the University of the South Pacific and Vanuatu Meteorology and Geohazards Department.
