- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will provide $188,118 to the University of Wyoming to define the role of snow in storing and transmitting liquid water to generate streamflow. The 5-year project will develop a long-term snowmelt monitoring program and conduct field observations and modeling to improve understanding of snowmelt dynamics. The research aims to fill a knowledge gap and produce transformational insights on...
- This National Science Foundation Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) award of $258,917 to Northern Arizona University supports collaborative research to assess past and future droughts in the Colorado River Basin over the past 2,000 years. The project will extend tree-ring reconstructions of drought and combine them with other geological records to characterize the intensity and persistence of past droughts, including a potentially severe drought in the 2nd century. This research aims to inform...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $399,996 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) to conduct collaborative research on identifying non-linearities in rainfall and river responses to consecutive Paleogene global warming events. This 3-year project, starting September 1, 2025, aims to advance fundamental understanding of how rainfall patterns and river systems respond to a changing climate by collecting new...
- This $599,998 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to estimate the emergence of anthropogenic climate change signals in snow water resource metrics in mountainous regions. Led by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, the project will use an innovative modeling framework including a large ensemble climate model and process-based hydrological modeling. It aims to strengthen understanding of when and how much climate change...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Wyoming (UW) totaling $749,924 from May 1, 2025 to October 31, 2028. The grant funds a project examining the socio-ecological system of climate, hydrology, fisheries ecology, and linked human systems such as outdoor recreation and tourism in the American Mountain West region. Specifically, the project aims to understand how rapidly changing climate impacts trout...
