Project Grant SPM07023GR0017

This $1,223,730 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund the development of a collaboration model and toolkit to enable planetariums across the United States to co-create local, data-driven climate change impact narratives with their communities. The goal is to leverage planetariums as informal learning environments to educate the public on climate change in a way that resonates with local contexts and marginalized populations...

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...

Under a $717,310 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science will conduct research on using satellite imagery to study internal gravity waves in the atmosphere. The project aims to develop and automate image processing algorithms to measure and characterize the properties of these waves, which can modulate cloud formation and impact Earth's heat budget....

This $449,885 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) program aims to design, implement, and test climate science and history professional learning materials and experiences for high school teachers in the San Francisco Bay Area. The University of California, Berkeley, as the prime awardee, will work with a team of scientists, historians, and educators to co-develop curricular planning tools and lesson plans to help teachers integrate...

This three-year, $511,918 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research to develop a new framework for advancing climate model representations of cloud and convective processes. The grantee, Columbia University, will conduct fully-coupled, isotope-enabled climate simulations for the Last Glacial Maximum, Mid-Holocene, and Pre-Industrial periods using an ensemble of cloud and convective parameter sets. Paleoclimate data assimilation will...

The National Science Foundation awarded a $266,162 Project Grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research's National Center for Atmospheric Research to support the "EAGER: Elevating and Empowering Hispanic/Latinx Voices through Video: Reducing Barriers in Academia and Building an Ecosystem for Success in the Earth System Sciences" program. The funding will support the Geosciences program, which aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increased...

The University of California Santa Cruz will provide collaborative research and mentoring programs focused on geosciences data use under a $194,760 National Science Foundation project grant. The funding supports "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GEOPATHS IN: DIG CAMP - DATA IN GEOSCIENCES: COLLABORATION AND MENTORING PROGRAM?TEAMING LATINX HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS FOR DATA USE IN GEOSCIENC." Through September 2024, UC Santa Cruz will partner Latinx high school and college students to...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $281,037 to develop online and classroom training materials for careers in the weather, water and climate industry. The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research and the National Center for Atmospheric Research's Research Application Lab will collaborate with private industry subject matter experts and atmospheric science...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research effort totaling $559,349 over 3 years to better understand the thermal balance of Earth's upper atmosphere. The key products and services to be delivered include: Laser-based laboratory studies of collisions between carbon dioxide (CO2) and atomic oxygen to measure the rate and temperature...

This $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will establish the "ONE-EARTH ONE-HEALTH: AN ECOSYSTEM FOR HUMAN-CENTERED CLIMATE SOLUTIONS" Research Coordination Network. The network aims to advance a new "geohealth" science that studies the interconnections between Earth processes and human health, with the goal of developing human-centered, implementable solutions to mitigate the impacts of climate change on public...
