This $203,991 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs' Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) will fund research tracking divergent warming and tree growth patterns at Arctic treeline forests through February 2025. The University of Arizona will leverage existing tree ring data and assess current hypotheses for divergence between temperature variability and growth rates observed in boreal forests since the mid-20th century. Researchers will use...
This $383,639 National Science Foundation project grant through the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) will fund research tracking divergent warming and tree growth patterns in Arctic treeline forests of northern North America. The three-year award made to Columbia University on March 1, 2022 will leverage a large tree-ring data compilation and statistical/modeling techniques to assess current hypotheses for divergence between temperature variability and tree growth rates...
This $112,967 National Science Foundation Project Grant through the Integrative Activities program will fund research into the impacts of climate change on yellow-cedar trees in Alaska. Led by the University of Alaska Fairbanks in collaboration with the University of Arizona, the project aims to test the hypothesis that frost damage to yellow-cedar roots results in drought stress and mortality. Researchers will apply quantitative wood anatomy methods to analyze tracheid cell structure in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund a $399,959 research project at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to investigate the long-term effects of thawing on permafrost instability in the Brooks Range of Alaska. The project aims to use geomorphic monitoring, remote sensing, and tree-ring analysis to reconstruct a multi-century record of frozen debris lobe (FDL) instability and its climate sensitivity. Researchers will...
The University of Alaska Anchorage received a three-year, $889,359 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will support collaborative research examining the complex effects of interconnected human and environmental dynamics in the changing Arctic region. Key products and services will include expansion of fundamental scientific knowledge and understanding of polar environmental...
The University of Texas at El Paso received a $337,463 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct collaborative research on plant phenology, local adaptation, and growing season length in the changing Arctic tundra. The award period runs from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. The research is being conducted under the NSF's Polar Programs, which provides funding through its CFDA #47.078 to strengthen fundamental knowledge and...
The University of Alaska Anchorage was awarded a $449,954 project grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct research titled "LTREB: LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES OF ASYMMETRIC WARMING AT THE TUNDRA-TAIGA INTERFACE" under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The project grant will support research from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026 exploring the long-term consequences of asymmetric warming where the tundra and taiga biomes meet. The Biological Sciences program aims...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs Project Grant award to Northern Arizona University totals $319,829 over 5 years from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2028. The project, titled "The Arctic Carbon and Climate (ACClimate) Observatory: Tundra Ecosystem Carbon Balance and Old Carbon Loss as a Consequence of Permafrost Degradation," will examine the dynamics of permafrost carbon, which stores substantial quantities of carbon in Arctic soils, and the impact of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs provides $499,526 to fund a collaborative research project examining how changes in vegetation composition may impact climate-driven wildfire growth in the boreal forests of Northwestern North America. The three-year award runs from November 1, 2021 through October 31, 2024. The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Inc. will lead the research effort to strengthen understanding of polar regions, as called for...
This $194,921 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund collaborative research to constrain and understand regional modes of variability in the Atlantic Arctic over the next two years. The overarching goal is to quantitatively study climate patterns and their long-term changes in the Atlantic Arctic and sub-Arctic regions using a variety of data sources, including meteorological measurements, historical observations, and climate...
