Through this funding, researchers at the University of Arizona will work to...
- This three-year, $482,571 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will fund collaborative research between Columbia University, the University of Alberta, and the University of Toronto to understand the impacts of extreme climate events on Arctic Indigenous peoples. The research team, led by Columbia University, will analyze archival materials, oral histories, and tree ring data to identify...
- This $237,686 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) will support the University of Arizona's Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research in enhancing dendrochronological methods for archaeological dating. The project aims to advance the precision and application of tree-ring dating techniques, which are critical for understanding long-term human adaptation to environmental and sociocultural changes. The research will...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $654,638.00 and an award date of August 15, 2025, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program. The objective of the project is to investigate how abiotic factors, such as CO2 levels, temperature, water availability, nitrogen deposition, and wildfire, interact to affect seed quantity and quality (seed mass, seed chemistry, seed germination rates) in boreal tree species. The...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program has awarded a $469,943 collaborative research project grant to the University of Oregon to investigate the effects of global change agents on tree reproduction across the North American boreal forest. The 4-year project, with an award date of August 15, 2025 and ultimate completion date of July 31, 2029, will study how factors like CO2 levels, temperature, water availability, nitrogen deposition, and...
- 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...
- This $136,629 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078 Polar Programs) to the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The purpose of the grant is to conduct collaborative research to constrain and understand regional modes of variability in the Atlantic Arctic using ultra-high-resolution climate proxies such as tree rings, lake/ocean sediments, and ice cores. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include:...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support collaborative research to investigate the effects of global change agents on tree reproduction in the North American boreal forest. The $559,542 award, effective August 15, 2025 through July 31, 2029, will be performed by the University of Connecticut. The research aims to advance understanding of how abiotic factors like CO2 levels, temperature, water availability, and...
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 statistical techniques, quantitative wood anatomy methods, and tree growth modeling to evaluate the extent, causes, and carbon cycle implications of this phenomenon across northern treeline forests in Alaska and northwestern Canada. The award also provides three years of support for a graduate student and funding for curriculum development and fieldwork opportunities in Arctic research for teachers and Native American students.
