Wilkes University received a $512,776 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs Project Grant to conduct collaborative research on plant phenology, local adaptation, and growing season length in the changing Arctic tundra from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2025. As part of the NSF's Polar Programs, which supports basic research best conducted in or related to the polar regions to strengthen understanding, the university will examine how plant responses to climate change are influencing the Arctic ecosystem. The grant will fund collaborative research by Wilkes University scientists to analyze plant phenology or lifecycle timing trends, assess local adaptation, and determine impacts on growing season length in the Arctic tundra. Insights gained will further knowledge of polar region dynamics in a warming climate.
