The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $653,498 Project Grant to Montana State University to conduct collaborative research with the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) on how continued warming and increasing drought will influence stream ecosystems. The key objectives of this 3-year project are to: 1) investigate whether physiological adaptations to warming can compensate for reduced invertebrate carbon use efficiencies at high temperatures,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $172,654 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the West Virginia University Research Corporation. The grant supports collaborative research to enhance understanding of the impacts of the ongoing megadrought on soil moisture, carbon-water cycling, and ecosystem function in drylands of the American West. Key activities include: Integrating long-term soil moisture data with remote sensing to assess how the megadrought...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $472,614 to Cornell University from July 2022 through June 2026 to study the impacts of severe drought on tropical forest post-disturbance recovery. Specifically, the researchers are conducting a rainfall manipulation experiment in a forest in Puerto Rico that is recovering from Hurricane Maria in 2017. The project aims to characterize and predict forest resilience to climate change by...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $2,010,368 Project Grant to Columbia University under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2026. The grant funds collaborative research on the impacts of severe drought on tropical forest recovery after hurricanes. Researchers are conducting a large-scale rainfall manipulation experiment in a forest in Puerto Rico recovering from Hurricane Maria to characterize forest resilience to climate change. Nine...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $480,484 supports research to understand drought and post-drought legacy effects in tropical forests. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the University of California, Los Angeles will leverage a large-scale drought experiment in an Amazon forest in Brazil. Researchers will integrate high-resolution tower-based radar data measuring vegetation water content at finer scales than satellites. This will be compared with plant...
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 $424,095 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research effort to investigate shifting drought patterns in West Africa. The project aims to collect tree samples in Ghana and Senegal through annual field schools, which will be used to reconstruct past hydroclimate conditions and drought variability over seasonal and centennial timescales. The research will contribute to the development of the West...
This $429,172 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to provide a comprehensive, macroscale assessment of dew impacts on carbon, energy, and water fluxes across various ecosystems. The project will generate a new land surface model module to account for dew effects, enabling further research on dew's impacts on weather forecasting and microbiology. The grant will support the...
This $650,920 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079), aims to investigate the vulnerabilities of community-managed water systems to climate change impacts and identify opportunities to strengthen their resilience. The project will focus on five climate-vulnerable locations globally, including indigenous communities in Kenya, South Sudan, Norway, Canada, and Alaska. Through a combination of climate scenario...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), has awarded a $702,163 project grant to the University of Alabama. This 3-year collaborative research project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NSFDEB-NERC: WARMING'S SILVER LINING? THERMAL COMPENSATION AT MULTIPLE LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION MAY PROMOTE STREAM ECOSYSTEM STABILITY IN RESPONSE TO DROUGHT", aims to understand how continued warming and increasing drought will impact the composition and...
