- This Project Grant award of $519,887.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Texas at Austin to analyze sediment cores from Lake Titicaca in the Andes region of South America. The goal is to develop a 370,000-year record of precipitation, isotopes, temperature, and lake levels to understand how the regional environment has changed and the long-term availability of water resources in the Andes. The research will use...
- 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...
- 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 University of Pittsburgh received a $397,549 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on July 15, 2021 to develop a 700,000-year record of tropical precipitation, evaporation, and temperature from Lake Junin sediments and regional speleothems. The funding supports basic research under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences research....
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $542,834 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research reconstructing Southern Rocky Mountains warm season temperatures over the past 2,000 years. The research aims to develop a temperature reconstruction using bristlecone pine from the Rio Grande headwaters region, augmented with updated hydroclimate reconstructions, to evaluate long-term regional temperature and hydroclimate...
- This $1,237,840 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under CFDA Program 47.078, will fund research by the University of Colorado to quantify climate variability and extremes over the past 100,000 years. The research team will use high-resolution measurements from ancient polar ice cores to statistically analyze changes in climate variability and the frequency of extreme events as the Earth's average climate has fluctuated over...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $135,001 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado to support collaborative research on anthropogenic water management, climate change, and environmental sustainability in the Southwestern United States.

- The National Science Foundation awarded a $274,166 Project Grant to Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the linkages between glacio-climatic, hydrothermal, and volcanic processes in the central Andes from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2025. Specifically, the research aims to establish spatial and temporal relationships between glacier fluctuations including deglaciation and the onset of hydrothermal and/or volcanic activity through...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) provides $145,003.00 to the University of Illinois to conduct collaborative research on glaciers and climate change in the Klamath Mountains of Northern California. The primary objectives are to reconstruct past glacier changes over the last 20,000 years in this region and evaluate the mechanisms driving these climate changes. The study will use a multidisciplinary approach including geomorphic mapping,...
- This NSF Project Grant award, provided under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to contribute to a better understanding and modeling of extreme weather events in the central Andes region, with the goal of improving the prediction of their impacts on hydrological and agricultural systems. The $400,000 award, effective from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2029, will fund collaborative research between institutions in the United States, Switzerland, and Bolivia. Key activities include...
