- This $424,095 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research effort to investigate shifting drought patterns in West Africa. The project aims to collect tree samples in Ghana and Senegal through annual field schools, which will be used to reconstruct past hydroclimate conditions and drought variability over seasonal and centennial timescales. The research will contribute to the development of the West...
- This $575,803 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project conducted by the University of Massachusetts to generate a 1.3-million-year record of temperature and rainfall in continental tropical East Africa. The project aims to examine geological records to reconstruct historical trends in temperature, precipitation, and vegetation in this region, which is vulnerable to extreme climate events. The resulting data...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to characterize historical drought patterns in West Africa. The $303,519 award to Mississippi State University, with a performance period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will fund the collection of tree-ring samples in Ghana and Senegal through annual field schools. The goal is to use these paleoclimate reconstructions to better understand the...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $119,293 to James Madison University for collaborative research on quantitative paleoclimatology of the East African monsoon from August 15, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The grant supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through expanded knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the university will conduct collaborative research to...
- This $103,171 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research effort to advance the understanding of global paleoclimate through the expansion of African dendrochronology. The project aims to measure radiocarbon, tree ring width, and wood anatomy from dominant tree species in Zambia to develop multi-century climate records. These data will be used to create a gridded precipitation reconstruction for the region and...
- This $267,007 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant will fund a collaborative research project at Alabama A&M University to reconstruct a 250-300 year record of rainfall extremes and Amazon River water level fluctuations in the Eastern Amazon region. The project aims to use tree-ring data from Cedrela odorata and historical records to determine if recent flood and drought events are within the natural range of climate variability or attributable to...
- This $1,201,906 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Cornell University to address three fundamental questions aimed at advancing the understanding of extreme precipitation events. The key objectives are to: 1) investigate how precipitation distribution depends on spatial and temporal scales, 2) assess the comparative roles of aerosol and greenhouse gas forcing in determining precipitation distribution, and 3)...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $655,738 supports research by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) to develop a theory of tropical convective precipitation. The research aims to relate the characteristics of tropical convection over oceans to the large-scale atmospheric conditions. This work extends previous field campaign data analysis to incorporate data from weather reanalysis products,...
- This $1,389,411 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the continuing research efforts of the Principal Investigator to understand the probability distribution of rainfall intensity and its relationship to climate change. The key objectives include: Explaining why increases in precipitation intensity in a warming climate exceed expectations based solely on increased water vapor content. Exploring how the suppression of convection due...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $480,484 supports research to understand drought and post-drought legacy effects in tropical forests. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of California, Los Angeles will leverage a large-scale drought experiment in an Amazon forest in Brazil. Researchers will integrate high-resolution tower-based radar data measuring vegetation water content at finer scales than satellites. This will be compared with plant...
