Denniston awarded NSF grant to study climate change 26-May-2021 10:05 AM EDT, by Cornell College William Harmon Norton Professor of Geology Rhawn Denniston Newswise MOUNT VERNON, Iowa - The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a nearly half-million-dollar research grant to Cornell College Professor of Geology Rhawn Denniston and a team of researchers to study climate variability.  The research will utilize stalagmites from a cave in Nepal to understand variations in Indian monsoon rainfall over the last 4,000 years.  The Indian Summer Monsoon is critical to the lives of the 2 billion people living in South Asia. In fact, it provides more than three-quarters of annual precipitation in this region, including snow to Himalayan glaciers and rains to farmers’ fields. Even one year of above or below average monsoon rainfall can have major consequences, which is why Denniston says understanding how and why the monsoon varies
