About this award
Colorado State University's Sponsored Programs division received a $719,565 research grant from a civilian federal agency with a shared services center effective January 1, 2021, with completion scheduled for December 31, 2024. The grant supports research on urbanization and land cover/land use change (LCLUC), with a specific focus on African urban expansion trends. The project addresses the critical gap between large-scale, low-resolution urbanization studies and small-scale, high-resolution analyses by examining how urbanization is transforming natural and managed landscapes into residential neighborhoods, informal settlements, and modified cityscapes. Notably, African countries are experiencing unprecedented urban growth, with projections indicating more people will live in African cities within 30 years than currently inhabit cities worldwide, accompanied by a predicted 12-fold increase in urban land area.
The research conducted at CSU's Fort Collins, Colorado facility aims to provide comprehensive understanding of urbanization patterns and their consequences across multiple geographical and temporal scales. As a prominent land-grant research university with extensive expertise in environmental science, geographic analysis, and applied research, Colorado State University is well-positioned to deliver the scientific and technical analysis required to bridge the existing knowledge gap in urbanization studies. This grant falls under the university's broader portfolio of federal research funding, which includes significant support from the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Department of Agriculture, and Department of Energy across climate science, environmental biology, and sustainability domains.
