Through this four-year award beginning August 1, 2021, the University of Kansas and its parent institution will collaborate on research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: HOW ROOTS, REGOLITH, ROCK AND CLIMATE INTERACT OVER DECADES TO CENTURIES ? THE R3-C FRONTIER." The research will be conducted in Lawrence, Kansas and aims to advance understanding of integrated Earth system processes by exploring interactions between roots, soil, bedrock and climate over long timescales. The funding of $432,634 will support this collaborative basic research project examining these critical subsurface dynamics.
