- 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 $696,515 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research and outreach on variations in the pace of surface temperature change. The awardee, University of California Santa Cruz, will conduct statistical analysis of global climate observations to identify regions and periods with accelerated warming rates over the past two centuries. Model simulations will determine the causes of detected changes and quantify future warming rates...
- This Project Grant award of $711,800 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Colorado State University to investigate the impact of tropical Pacific Ocean rain layers on weather and climate patterns, such as the Madden-Julian Oscillation and El Niño events. The research explores how the formation of a cold lid, or stable layer, from fresh rainwater on the ocean surface can delay and then intensify convective cloud development, with...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $139,000 project grant to Colorado State University's Sponsored Programs division under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from February 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025. The university will quantify major components of the global electric circuit through data mining of electric field and radar observations from ground-based, airborne and satellite platforms. Specifically, CSU will examine electric field measurements above clouds from past field campaigns...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $459,465 to Colorado State University for collaborative research on convective upscale growth processes during the RELAMPAGO field project. The research directly supports the goals of the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric sciences. Specifically, Colorado State University will utilize the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $546,989 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating through its Sponsored Projects Administration Division, under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The grant supports collaborative research to understand the non-linear and feedback mechanisms in the atmospheric circulation response to increased carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. The research aims to address the limited understanding of how warming-induced...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,030,041 Project Grant under CFDA 47.050 Geosciences to Colorado State University (CSU) to conduct research on the pattern effect and its impact on radiative feedbacks in the Earth system. The project, titled "ANALYSES OF THE PATTERN EFFECT ON RADIATIVE FEEDBACKS: GAINING PHYSICAL INSIGHTS FROM STATISTICAL METHODS; TESTING THE ROLE OF LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURES -THE RESPONSE OF THE GLOBAL ATMOSPHERE/OCEAN SYSTEM TO RADIATIVE FORCING DEPENDS ON A RANGE OF FEEDBACK PROCESSES," aims to develop statistical tools to estimate the pattern effect directly from observational data, avoiding the biases and uncertainties inherent in climate model simulations. This research will improve understanding of the relationship between surface temperature patterns and net radiative feedbacks, which is critical for predicting future climate change. The project will also provide mentoring and funding for two graduate students at CSU and conduct outreach activities in the local school district. The award period is from August 15, 2025, to July 31, 2028.
