- This $322,555 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports research to develop statistical and machine learning methods for studying the dynamics of weather and climate extremes. The three-year project, with a completion date of July 31, 2025, will focus on three key areas: climate model validation, changepoint estimation for extremes, and integration of multi-model climate ensembles. The research aims to enhance...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $175,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Arizona State University to develop a geostatistical framework for modeling spatiotemporal extremes, such as heat waves, drought, and intense precipitation. The research aims to better understand the distributions of extreme weather events and develop statistical tools to model the associated spatial and temporal trends and uncertainties. The project will...
- This $341,117 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to improve understanding of potential changes to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) impacts from climate change. The awardee, North Carolina State University, will use sophisticated computer modeling to systematically test scenarios of how different possible future changes to ENSO could alter temperature and precipitation patterns over North America. The research seeks to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded a 3-year, $150,000 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado (University of Colorado) to develop new statistical methods for analyzing extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts, and intense precipitation. The research, conducted under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to better understand the spatiotemporal distributions and trends of these extreme...
- This $673,418 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at North Carolina State University to improve understanding of monthly flood dynamics over the southeastern and south-central United States. Specifically, the university will quantify shifts in flood climatology, identify moisture delivery pathways for floods, and attribute sources of modulation for floods' spatiotemporal variability. Researchers will examine historical...
- This $1,482,996 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of California, Los Angeles to diagnose and understand the mechanisms behind warm season extreme weather over central and intermountain United States. The grant is funded through the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences support. Specifically, the UCLA researchers will apply statistical...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant award of $381,865 to Colorado State University aims to understand how the predictability of severe weather events, such as tornadoes, hail, and flooding, may change as the climate warms. The research will generate and analyze large datasets of numerical weather model forecasts to assess how the ability to predict severe storms evolves in recent (20th century) versus future (21st century) climate scenarios. This work could...
- This $202,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to better understand the dynamics of compound heat wave-wildfire events in the western United States. Led by Principal Investigators Prof. Alex Hall and Prof. Colin Zarzycki, the research aims to examine the large-scale climate conditions associated with these co-occurring events and how they may evolve under future climate change scenarios. The project will...
- This three-year, $846,782 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the effect of future climate change on severe convective storms. The awardee, the University of Washington, will combine self-organized maps and idealized storm-scale simulations to examine how severe thunderstorms and tornadoes may change in a warmer climate. Researchers will first use data-based methods with climate model simulations to understand...
- This $974,572 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides support for U.S. researchers participating in a multinational research consortium focused on improving understanding of the complex linkages and pathways between climate, environment, and public health. The research is part of the Belmont Forum's Collaborative Research initiative to address global environmental change challenges. The award supports the U.S. researchers in this...
This $127,918 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort to study the impacts of climate change on warm-season extreme events in North America. The research aims to improve understanding of the large-scale drivers and local feedbacks affecting the severity and frequency of extreme events such as flooding, heat waves, fires, and droughts. The award to North Carolina State University will fund climate modeling and simulation work to investigate how thermodynamic changes and atmospheric processes at multiple spatial scales influence the progression of these extreme events under a warming climate. The research seeks to overcome limitations of current climate models in accurately representing the complex processes driving extreme weather, and will employ techniques like pseudo-global warming simulations to assess potential changes in extreme event characteristics. This work is intended to advance scientific knowledge and support efforts to enhance climate resilience across the United States.
