- This $275,001 Project Grant award by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to understand how Earth's climate and oceans responded to the influx of meltwater from the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the last deglaciation, approximately 20,000 to 11,700 years ago. The research will generate high-resolution reconstructions of ocean-atmospheric and biogeochemical variability from marine sediment cores collected offshore Texas, focusing on...
- This $241,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will provide a Picarro L2140-I isotopic water analyzer to Grand Valley State University (GVSU) for interdisciplinary research on hydroclimate, water cycling, and ecosystem interactions. The instrument will enable GVSU researchers and students to precisely measure variations in water isotopes to study climate change impacts, freshwater ecosystem health, and groundwater...
This $461,045 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to William Marsh Rice University in Houston, Texas. The grant aims to develop the Isotope-Enabled Community Earth System Model (ICESM), an innovative Earth system model that simulates stable water isotopes to provide new insights into atmospheric dynamics, plant-water interactions, ecosystem hydrology, and changes to ice sheets and glaciers. The project will leverage diverse observational datasets to rigorously validate the ICESM, enabling broader research on water processes and improving predictions of water-related changes, hazards, and risks across multiple scientific disciplines. In addition to the model development, the grant supports global training for researchers and developers, as well as efforts to engage the public in understanding water dynamics on a changing planet. The award period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2030.
