This $165,288 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the geomorphic effects and distribution of anthropogenic debris in urban streams. The University of Vermont will quantify the distribution of macro debris larger than 5 cm within and across stream reaches in an extensive, multi-city study. Time lapse photography and repeated surveys of large debris, streambed topography, and sediment size will quantify debris mobility and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), is focused on studying the interactions between aquatic plant canopies and water flow. The $213,511 award will fund research to enhance the understanding of how flexible and rigid plant structures in river environments affect water flow and drag forces. The project involves a combination of experiments and numerical simulations to investigate these complex plant-water interactions, with the...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $727,928 to Colorado State University to examine the role of snow in modulating hydrogeomorphic change and recovery after wildfires. The university will analyze post-fire hazards and vegetation recovery in burn scars from the 2020 Cameron Peak and East Trouble-some Fires in northern Colorado. Field research will evaluate causes of flooding, erosion, and debris flows in the first 1-3...
This five-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, totaling $499,120, will assess how human activities have altered floodplain organic carbon stocks across the contiguous United States. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the grantee—the Regents of the University of Colorado—will conduct extensive fieldwork comparing carbon storage in modified and unmodified floodplains. The project will...
This $403,680 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to improve streamflow monitoring and forecasting methods.
