- 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...
- 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 $343,332 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research at the University of Washington to study the impact of increasing boreal forest fires on the Arctic climate and sea ice. The research aims to: Examine how the increased transport of smoke and black carbon from boreal forest fires to the Arctic affects the region's climate and sea ice through warming and cooling effects. This will involve running climate model simulations...
- This $642,666 National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs project grant will fund research into fire-biotic disturbance interactions and their sensitivity to climate change in the North American boreal biome. The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Inc. will use computer simulations to better understand the impacts and threats of new pests, herbivores, and diseases in Alaskan boreal forests, and how these disturbances may interact with fire and climate to alter carbon storage. The...
