The National Science Foundation awarded Wayne State University a $367,843 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024. The grant supports research examining the role of dynamic urban greenspace in energy, water, and carbon cycling in Detroit, Michigan. Wayne State University will analyze data and develop models to improve understanding of how urban vegetation impacts these environmental processes. Princeton University will assist through collaborative model development and updates, leveraging existing frameworks and data streams. Princeton will also provide mentorship opportunities and regular interaction with Wayne State's team. Both institutions aim to co-author a peer-reviewed manuscript detailing results. The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental earth science knowledge through basic research support across atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences.
