- This $300,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports research at the University of Idaho to enhance water budget simulations across the continental United States. The key objectives are to model vegetation's uptake of rock moisture and evaluate its impact on water budget dynamics, with the goal of improving predictions of water availability and environmental resilience. This collaborative two-year project...
- This $299,996 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will enable the University of Hawaii at Manoa to experimentally determine the effects of water content on the electrical conductivity of (Fe,Al)-bearing bridgmanite, a key mineral in the Earth's lower mantle. The research aims to improve understanding of the planet's initial formation, internal water distribution, and deep-water cycling over geological time. Using innovative methods for...
- Boise State University was awarded a three-year, $314,115 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences' Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support research and education activities for cloud-enabled computational hydrology under the project "Navigating the Clouds on the Horizon." As part of its mission to strengthen the geosciences, the NSF Geosciences program aims to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) is funding the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between Earth's surface and interior processes. The $123,880 award, running from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2028, will couple two widely used open-source community software packages - ASPECT and LANDLAB - to...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado were awarded a $464,509 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The three-year award, made on August 1, 2023 and set to be completed by July 31, 2026, will support collaborative research into the roles of lithology and water on deep continental crustal rheology using natural field settings and laboratory experiments. The research aims to further fundamental...
- This $836,711 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research at the University of Georgia Research Foundation to advance the understanding of soil processes controlling carbon storage and loss. The project aims to determine the impacts of fire severity, soil type, erosion, and time since fire on dissolved organic matter and pyrogenic carbon in soils and outflow water. The research will involve field studies, laboratory...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities provides $165,478 to Boise State University under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083) for investigation of dominant controls on electrical properties of granitic regolith in the critical zone. The research aims to advance understanding of physical properties in critical zones through laboratory and field investigations combining geophysical imaging, field sampling, and modeling. Researchers will collect granitic regolith samples from field sites and measure their electrical properties under controlled hydraulic states using a soil column and pressure plate extractor equipped with hydro-geophysical probes. Experimental data will be used to quantify influences of hydraulic state, chemical weathering-induced textural change, and chemical weathering-induced mineralogy alteration on electrical properties. An electrical model integrating chemical weathering will also be developed to describe regolith profiles. This process-based understanding and modeling is intended to enhance subsurface monitoring capabilities and insights into critical zone processes.
