- This $199,400 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund collaborative research to augment continuous data assimilation and perform equation discovery with applications in geophysics. The research aims to develop more accurate predictive models for complex systems like weather, ocean currents, and groundwater flow by systematically adapting and modifying existing physically derived models using...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $253,946 Project Grant to the University of Florida (UF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to enhance the accessibility of novel geostatistical inversion workflows for cryosphere research. The project aims to create freely available geostatistics software with novel methods for combining physical and statistical information to enable fast, scalable simulations that account for spatial and physical constraints. This software will be...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $334,786 to the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona. The funding supports development of a new theoretical framework called the Explicit, Stochastic, Coordinate-Independent framework to improve eddy parameterizations in numerical models. Key products include symbolic algebra software to implement parameterizations across model coordinate systems and...
- The University of Illinois was awarded a $249,987 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant supports the collaborative research project "Informing River Corridor Transport Modeling by Harnessing Community Data and Physics-Aware Machine Learning." The goal of the research is to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth systems through basic research in atmospheric, Earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, this Project Grant will fund the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $319,907 to the University of Maryland, College Park aims to build a machine-learning-based "emulator" that can efficiently predict water isotope patterns in climate models. The three-year project, starting November 1, 2025, seeks to develop a smart shortcut to incorporate water isotopes, which act as natural recorders of climate history, into complex climate simulations. This...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant award, CFDA 47.050, totaling $344,941, will fund the development of open, reproducible computational workflows and learning materials through the "Collaborative Research: GEO OSE Track 2: Project Pythia and Pangeo" project. The project aims to reduce barriers to geoscience research and education by building an inclusive community around shareable, reproducible computational workflows. The grantee, Code for Science...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $400,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Illinois. The project aims to develop and introduce a novel, equation-based modeling workflow to the geosciences community. This system separates the model design (the equations) from the model implementation (the computer code), allowing geoscientists to focus on building equation systems that represent their areas of expertise. The project consists of three main thrusts: 1) community organization through workshops, 2) model development, and 3) decentralized model management and education. The goal is to increase the participation of geoscientists in computational modeling by simplifying the modeling process and leveraging artificial intelligence for model reduction and parameterization. The project will run from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2027.
