This two-year, $240,965 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: TRACING THE FATE, AGE, AND ECOHYDROLOGIC SIGNIFICANCE OF ROCK MOISTURE." Awarded on September 1, 2021 to the University of Texas at Austin for performance in Austin, Texas, this grant will fund basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through expanding knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and...
This two-year, $180,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into the influence of critical zone water storage on forest drought vulnerability and transpiration fluxes across complex mountainous terrain in Colorado. The grantee will employ field investigations using seismic surveys and electrical resistivity tomography to gather data on belowground structure and water storage along hillslope transects in the Boulder Creek...
This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports research to enhance water budget simulations across the continental United States by modeling vegetation's uptake of rock moisture. The primary objective is to implement an innovative approach within the Community Land Model Version 5 (CLM5) to represent this vegetation-rock moisture interaction and evaluate its impact on water budget predictions, especially during...
This $270,754 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program supports collaborative research to investigate the impacts of the ongoing megadrought in the American West on soil moisture, ecosystem carbon-water cycling, and remote sensing capabilities. The research team, led by the Trustees of Indiana University, will synthesize hundreds of long-term soil moisture measurements with remotely-sensed data and eddy covariance tower observations to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) project grant award of $399,134 aims to study the combined role of urban expansion and climate change on extreme summer rainfall in two rapidly growing metropolitan areas, Austin, TX and Phoenix, AZ. The project will utilize advanced numerical modeling to characterize the physical processes driving changes in extreme summer rainfall patterns, and disseminate the findings to local stakeholders to inform infrastructure...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $290,728 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to conduct research on understanding how forests respond to drought and high temperatures. The key objectives of this 5-year project are to: Assess the impacts of hillslope hydrology on ecosystem function and plant physiological traits to predict tree mortality during climate extremes. Incorporate the research findings into Earth...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $249,810 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) to investigate the impact of drought, heat waves, and soil characteristics on water and carbon cycling in forested agricultural ecosystems in the Chihuahuan Desert. The project aims to develop a mechanistic understanding of how soil morphology and management practices mediate the effects of environmental stressors like high vapor pressure...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $305,824 to Oregon State University (OSU) to conduct collaborative research on how changes in land cover and climate are impacting grassland water and carbon cycles below-ground. The project will: 1) quantify how woody encroachment alters soil water flow and storage, 2) measure the impact on groundwater and stream hydrology, 3) quantify changes in subsurface carbon processes, and 4)...
This $180,267 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate the impact of climate change on karst groundwater resources using advanced deep-learning techniques. The research, led by Sam Houston State University, will develop innovative deep-learning models to analyze comprehensive data from U.S. karst aquifers and integrate climate projection data to forecast the future status of these critical groundwater resources...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences provides $294,998 to San Diego State University Research Foundation from September 2021 through August 2025. The funding supports the development of a framework to predict hydrologic processes at continental scales under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences....
