The Pennsylvania State University was awarded a $393,581 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on August 1, 2021 to complete the project by July 31, 2025. The grant supports the collaborative research project "HOW ROOTS, REGOLITH, ROCK AND CLIMATE INTERACT OVER DECADES TO CENTURIES ? THE R3-C FRONTIER" under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050). The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system...
This $162,243 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at the University of Central Florida (UCF) to advance predictive understanding of landscape evolution and erosional extremes under changing climatic conditions. The key objectives are to: (1) extract local geomorphic transport laws driving landscape evolution using large-scale experimental data and novel physics-informed artificial intelligence methods; (2)...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) totals $100,000 and runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The project aims to measure the movement and amount of water and carbon in a Kansas grassland where the climate is getting wetter and the land cover is changing due to shrub encroachment. The interdisciplinary research will: 1) quantify how woody encroachment alters soil...

This $1,207,852 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund a 5-year collaborative research project focused on understanding how landscape structure influences tropical forest regeneration in Madagascar. The project aims to investigate the direct and indirect effects of landscape properties like habitat amount, fragmentation, and matrix quality on seed dispersal and post-dispersal seedling recruitment in regenerating tropical forests. The...
This five-year, $475,451 National Science Foundation project grant in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research examining how topography preserves details of the seismic cycle. The principal investigator will develop computational landscape simulations under varying tectonic and climatic conditions to identify topographic signatures of the seismic cycle. They will then assess whether these signatures are recognizable in natural landscapes with independent constraints on seismic...
