- This two-year, $188,177 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund the development of new techniques for mapping and monitoring plant drought stress using repeat hyperspectral data. The University of California, Santa Barbara will link detailed measurements of plant drought stress, water use, and water sources to remotely sensed data on plant water content. This will identify areas of drought resilience and vulnerability during an...
- 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 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences provides $294,998 to San Diego State University Research Foundation from September 2021 through August 2025. The funding supports the development of a framework to predict hydrologic processes at continental scales under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences....
- 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...
- This $270,754 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program supports collaborative research to investigate the impacts of the ongoing megadrought in the American West on soil moisture, ecosystem carbon-water cycling, and remote sensing capabilities. The research team, led by the Trustees of Indiana University, will synthesize hundreds of long-term soil moisture measurements with remotely-sensed data and eddy covariance tower observations to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $899,544 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to leverage emergent climate model evaluation techniques to reduce uncertainty in regional climate change projections, particularly related to the water cycle. This 3-year project will focus on applying these methods to high-resolution climate model simulations of the western United...
- The National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $202,000 Project Grant (effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support fundamental research on atmospheric moisture variability in the Western United States. The primary deliverable is a 500-year reconstruction of Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD)—a critical climate metric measuring the difference between atmospheric moisture content and maximum...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $135,001 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado to support collaborative research on anthropogenic water management, climate change, and environmental sustainability in the Southwestern United States. The three-year award, made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research from September 2021 through August 2024 examining the interrelationships between human water usage, climate...
