This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to improve understanding of how forest structure and function influence "ecological climate" - the climate experienced by organisms within forest canopies. The $424,492 project, running from August 2024 to July 2028, will integrate data from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) into advanced forest canopy models to evaluate how forest diversity...
This $337,455 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research to constrain the continental-scale terrestrial carbon cycle using data from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). The awardee, Cornell University, will develop refined continental-scale carbon profiles and flux products through a novel approach integrating NEON observations, satellite data, data-driven methods, and data-model integration techniques....
Northern Arizona University received a $299,991 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology on September 1, 2021 to evaluate the continuity of data streams recorded at collocated sites across biomes ranging from tundra to subtropics under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The three-year award will support analyzing data continuity between the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and AmeriFlux sites to strengthen...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program award of $1,121,416 to Colorado State University will deliver research focused on understanding how the structure and function of forest ecosystems influence ecological climate patterns across spatial and temporal scales. The project will integrate National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) site-level and remote sensing observational data into advanced forest canopy models to evaluate the impact of forest...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,976,918 Project Grant to the University of Alabama under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to provide training for the next generation of ecologists and natural resource managers. The "Woods to Water (W2W)" program will leverage the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and the Jones Center at Ichauway (JCI) to train 30 post-baccalaureate participants in field techniques that link water, carbon, and nutrient fluxes...
Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc. was awarded a $420,401 project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NNA RESEARCH: GLOBAL CHANGES, LOCAL IMPACTS: STUDY OF GLACIAL FJORDS, ECOSYSTEMS AND COMMUNITIES IN GREENLAND" from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026. The research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $279,320 Cooperative Agreement under the Climate and Atmospheric Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 11.431) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, Boulder to develop a Registry of Polar Observing Networks (ROPON). The project aims to: Expand the number and diversity of polar observing networks and portals registered in ROPON across various domains, disciplines, regions, and network types. Improve the user interface and...
This $651,159 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining particulate matter transport through forest canopies. The University of Utah will monitor storm conditions, throughfall, stemflow, and particulate composition across 11 forest sites in the National Ecological Observatory Network, representing major North American forest types. The project aims to estimate particulate mass fluxes, characterize particulate...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $3,493,996 Cooperative Agreement under the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 11.012) to the Northeastern Regional Association of Coastal Ocean Observing Systems (NERACOOS), a non-profit organization. The purpose of this 4-year award is to continue and expand the Gulf of Maine Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (GOM MBON) to better understand the impacts of climate change on the...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology provided $199,924 to Colorado State University from July 15, 2021 to June 30, 2022. The grant supported the "RAPID: CRITICAL WILDFIRE MONITORING UTILIZING THE NATIONAL ECOLOGICAL OBSERVATORY NETWORK MOBILE DEPLOYMENT PLATFORM WITH EDGE-COMPUTING CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE" project under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The project utilized the National Ecological Observatory Network's...
