- This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $322,038 will support research to generate temperature, precipitation and vegetation records spanning the past 13,600 years from Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan. The University of Massachusetts Amherst will conduct a multi-proxy organic geochemical study of the lake's sediment cores to test hypotheses about past climate variability in arid Central Asia. Specifically, the awardee will produce...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $192,386 Project Grant through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Arizona for a 3-year collaborative research project to reconstruct tropical rainfall patterns over the last 200 years. The project aims to use stable oxygen isotopes measured in tree ring cellulose from sites across Central and South America to study variations in the position and width of the Intertropical Convergence Zone and understand how these changes...
- This National Science Foundation Geosciences program Project Grant award to Purdue University, totaling $138,645, supports the collection and analysis of rainwater samples from the western slopes of the Peruvian Andes. The goal is to measure the isotopic composition of the water to determine the source regions and travel pathways of moisture that feeds the South American summer monsoon, particularly during the strong 2023-2024 El Niño event. This research is expected to improve understanding...
