The research aims to strengthen fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system by...
- The Pennsylvania State University was awarded a $1.13 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology to conduct research on "Hotspots of Genome Evolution in a Rapid Vertebrate Radiation" from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The grant is being administered under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote advancement in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through...
- The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) received a $500,249 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research characterizing disequilibrium in terrestrial carbonates. Through this award, Penn State will investigate the role of disequilibrium during rapid mineral formation on important climate archives. Researchers will analyze modern and fossil carbonates formed in lakes and wetlands across North America using dual...
- The Pennsylvania State University was awarded a $393,581 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on August 1, 2021 to complete the project by July 31, 2025. The grant supports the collaborative research project "HOW ROOTS, REGOLITH, ROCK AND CLIMATE INTERACT OVER DECADES TO CENTURIES ? THE R3-C FRONTIER" under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050). The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,158,300 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to The Pennsylvania State University. The grant supports a research project titled "CAREER: The Effects of Plant Defenses on Species Interactions Across Biological Scales" from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2030. The project investigates how plant chemistry and leaf-associated microbes influence the behavior and population dynamics of herbivores and...
The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) received a $302,474 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) on June 1, 2021 to support research titled "Collaborative Research: Fire, Ecosystem, and Landscape Dynamics in Afroalpine Environments in a Warmer World." The award will fund research through May 31, 2024 under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and understanding of major problems confronting the nation. Specifically, the grant will support Penn State researchers in studying how fire, ecosystems, and landscapes in Afroalpine mountain environments may be impacted by climate change through the award period.
