Project Grant 2147186
- This $178,567 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research defining the paleoclimate-fire relationship in California across temporal scales. The Ohio State University will conduct integrated monitoring of karst systems, develop stalagmite proxy records, and build a karst system model linking hydroclimate and fire proxies to environmental drivers. Researchers will analyze ten stalagmites defining latitudinal and coastal-Sierra Nevada transects...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $552,632 provides funding from August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025 to support the research project "Defining the Paleoclimate-Fire Relationship in CA Across Temporal Scales Through Integrated Monitoring, Stalagmite Studies, and Proxy System Modeling." The award is made under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support basic research expanding understanding of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, the University of...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $627,539 will fund research to define the paleoclimate-fire relationship in California across temporal scales through integrated monitoring, stalagmite studies, and proxy system modeling. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support four key objectives from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. First, the researchers will develop a process-based understanding of hydroclimate and fire tracers through cave monitoring....
- This four-year, $212,466 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research exploring boreal forest fire feedbacks through multiple timescales. Colorado State University will investigate paleohistory of short-interval fires using lake sediment cores, conduct fieldwork on fire resilience, and use high-performance modeling to estimate future fire behavior. The research aims to determine if current short-interval fires are creating novel...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $201,625 Project Grant to Bates College under the agency's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to research the relationship between fire and climate in the Eastern United States. The project aims to better understand long-term fire-climate dynamics in the region and inform climate adaptation efforts related to wildfire risk. Key activities include developing and analyzing Holocene-era paleoclimate data to characterize regional fire patterns prior...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $556,655 Project Grant under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Auburn University for the research project "Collaborative Research: Resolving Past Fire-Climate Relationships to Understand Future Fire Potential in the Eastern United States." The project aims to better understand the long-term fire-climate relationships in the Eastern United States through the analysis of paleofire records spanning the Holocene period (last ~12,000...
- This three-year, $473,885 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research defining the paleoclimate-fire relationship in California across temporal scales. The award supports four objectives: 1) Monitoring three karst systems to develop process-based understanding of hydroclimate and fire tracers; 2) Building a multi-proxy karst system model linking said proxies to environmental drivers; 3) Developing comparable proxy records from ten...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund research to investigate the influence of forest fires on root and microbial carbon cycling in deep soils within a pine-oak forest ecosystem. The $557,547 award, with a performance period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, will support field sampling, laboratory analysis, and modeling to understand how microbial communities and carbon dynamics change when trees die in...
- This $836,720 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology will support research integrating modern and paleoecological perspectives to disentangle grazer and climate controls on fire activity. Over a three-year period from January 2023 through December 2025, the awardee Yale University will combine data from nine present-day herbivore exclusion experiments, observational records from remote sensing and field monitoring, and five paleoecological archives...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $410,292 three-year Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York at the University at Albany to support collaborative research exploring the dynamic interaction between pyrogenic carbon and extracellular enzymes and its impacts on organic matter cycling in fire-impacted environments. The grant is part of the Geosciences program, which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth,...
This $199,785 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund field and laboratory tests of pyrogenic organic compounds in Australian stalagmites as a novel, high-resolution paleofire proxy. The awardee, Cornell College, will perform measurements of organic compounds like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soil and cave dripwater before, after, and one year following a prescribed burn over the cave site. Laboratory replication of pyrogenic organic compound distributions in a coeval stalagmite sample will also be conducted. Comparison of the paleofire signals in a 20th century stalagmite to remote sensing data and fire records from historical documents is additionally part of the scope. The work will provide training to several undergraduates in relevant field and laboratory methods.
