This $1,749,722 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Yale University on May 1, 2025. The grant will fund research focused on fire management strategies to conserve biodiversity in Brazil's Cerrado savanna ecosystem. Key activities include mapping fire histories across Cerrado protected areas, conducting field research at six sites, and hosting participatory workshops to engage researchers and land managers. The project...
This $556,655 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research initiative to better understand past and future fire-climate relationships in the eastern United States. The primary awardee, Auburn University, will develop and analyze Holocene-era (last ~12,000 years) paleofire records to compare fire and climate histories prior to human impacts. The project aims to quantify regional fire-climate relationships and better...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $270,278 to the University of Rhode Island (URI) from August 2024 to July 2027 to conduct research on the relationship between past fire activity and climate in the Eastern United States. The project aims to develop and analyze paleofire records from the last 12,000 years to better understand the baseline fire-climate dynamics in the region, prior to significant human impacts. By...
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 (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $201,625 was provided to Bates College to conduct collaborative research on resolving past fire-climate relationships in the Eastern United States. The goal is to better understand future fire potential in the region by analyzing palefire records and climate data over the Holocene period (past 12,000 years). The research will compare fire and climate histories prior to human impacts to establish...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $1,031,339 to the University of Washington will fund research to study how disturbances and heterogeneity in temperate maritime forests of the U.S. Pacific Northwest affect ecosystem resilience to increasing wildfire activity driven by climate change. The project will integrate remotely sensed data on forest structure and wildfire patterns with new field measurements to test hypotheses on...
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 $335,911 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. The grant will support collaborative research examining how interactions between wildfires and an emerging plant disease may permanently shift coastal forests to shrublands in the western United States. The 3-year project integrates field monitoring, competition experiments, and modeling to: 1) quantify the...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs will support collaborative research on boreal forest fire feedbacks from 2023 to 2027. The $138,467 award to the University of Colorado Denver will explore the paleohistory of short interval fires in boreal forests through analysis of lake sediment cores. Fieldwork will determine the resilience of current landscapes to short interval fires and whether these are creating novel forest structures. High-performance...
