The Boise State University received a $123,242 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The award will support the development of a proof-of-concept geoelectric monitoring system to advance research and education in hydrogeophysics through June 2023. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, the geoelectric monitoring system will allow Boise State researchers to better monitor subsurface fluid flow and advance hydrogeophysical research techniques. This supports the overall Geosciences program goal of increasing basic research knowledge in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences.
