Extreme, Compound, and Cascading Hazards (EC2H) Invites fundamental research into adaptive and/or resilient responses to natural disasters, extreme events, and other natural hazards. Invites fundamental research into adaptive and/or resilient responses to natural disasters, extreme events, and other natural hazards.
Accelerated climate and environmental change, and increased solar activity, can result in a strengthening or increase in frequency of hazards that, along with ongoing solid earth processes, exact a heavy toll on natural and human systems.
The National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) is interested in supporting fundamental research to inform adaptive and/or resilient responses to natural hazards and disasters 1 , such as hurricanes, marine and atmospheric heat waves, marine and terrestrial ecosystem shifts, droughts, floods, wildfires, landslides, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, permafrost melting, ice sheet and glacier loss, and space weather events.
This Dear Colleague Letter (DCL) encourages submission of proposals that advance our fundamental understanding of natural disasters, extreme events, and other natural hazards.
The focus is on: 1) exploring system-of-systems approaches to understanding drivers of extreme events (e.g., Sun-Earth or land-ocean-atmosphere-ice interactions); 2) cascading or compound hazards (e.g., submarine landslide-triggered tsunamis); 3) interactions between longer-term trends and extreme events (e.g., climate change and wildfires); and 4) processes occurring at multiple scales ranging from local to regional to planetary, and at time scales that incorporate long-term changes in the characteristics of short-term extreme events.
Investigators are urged to involve multiple disciplines and stakeholders and include the participation of the full spectrum of diverse talents in STEM (see National Science Board Vision 2030 Report 2 ). Projects must also demonstrate a clear societal benefit.
This DCL encourages projects that rely on existing NSF/GEO facilities and/or data resources, plan for new research infrastructure, and/or pursue partnerships with stakeholders to accelerate innovation and the development of new technologies and/or data sets. Proposals are strongly encouraged in areas of research that align with programs within two or more GEO units (AGS, EAR, OCE, OPP).
Interdisciplinary activities that bring together the geoscience community such as, workshops 3 , research networks, or planning proposals are also welcome. Any of the mechanisms available in the NSF Proposal & Award Policies &Procedures Guide (PAPPG) may be used for submission of proposals to relevant programs within GEO units in accordance with program guidelines.
To receive feedback on whether a proposal idea is responsive to this DCL, it is recommended that PIs submit a Concept Outline via the NSF ProSPCT tool ( https://suitability. nsf. gov/s/ ) or email geohazards@nsf.

MGPV Travel Grant is sponsored by Geological Society of America (GSA), Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Petrology, Volcanology Division. MGPV Travel grants support student travel to the annual GSA meeting. Applications are restricted to active graduate or undergraduate students who are the presenting authors of an accepted abstract at the annual GSA meeting.
Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science (ROSES) - 2025: A.4 Rapid Response and Novel Research in Earth Science is sponsored by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This omnibus research funding opportunity includes various program elements, with rolling submissions for Earth Science research through August 2026. Proposers to Earth Science using the NASA Center for Climate Simulation high-end computing facility must include specific budget details.
NSF 26-516 folds Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, Earth Sciences and Ocean Sciences into a single GEO Core solicitation: $110 million, 200 to 350 awards, proposals accepted anytime. Geosciences piloted no-deadline review nine years ago and knows what it does to submission volume. Here is the per-award math, the ship-time and permitting traps, and the two-year data-archive clock that now governs every award.
Read articleDear Colleague Letter NSF 26-024, issued August 27, 2026, asks nine questions about the future of NSF-supported ocean observing. It is the input mechanism NSF promised in June when it halted the dismantling of the $386 million Ocean Observatories Initiative. Responses are capped at 3,250 characters per question and become public.
Read articleNSF's Arctic Research Opportunities solicitation funds roughly 75 awards a year — up to $50 million — across six program areas from natural sciences to social sciences to the Arctic Observing Network. The July 15, 2026 target date is not a hard deadline, and understanding that distinction is the first strategic decision an Arctic researcher makes. Here is how the six doors differ and how to choose the right one.
