This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $829,191 to Oregon State University to conduct research aimed at understanding how wildfires affect water resources in the Pacific Northwest. The project will investigate the impacts of varying wildfire intensity and soil conditions on snow accumulation, melt, and underground water storage in the Willamette National Forest. Key activities include snow surveys, geophysical measurements, soil...
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 $599,998 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to estimate the emergence of anthropogenic climate change signals in snow water resource metrics in mountainous regions. Led by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, the project will use an innovative modeling framework including a large ensemble climate model and process-based hydrological modeling. It aims to strengthen understanding of when and how much climate change...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the Bureau of Reclamation under the Snow Water Supply Forecasting Program (CFDA 15.078) will address key knowledge gaps in understanding the impacts of wildfire on snow accumulation, ablation, and runoff generation. The $876,296.41 project, with a period of performance from January 4, 2024 to September 30, 2026, will leverage a network of automated stations and field studies initiated following the 2020 Cameron Peak and East Troublesome Fires in Colorado....
The National Science Foundation awarded a three-year $336,534 Project Grant to the University of Colorado Boulder under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research on the role of extreme rainstorms and hydroclimatic regimes on arid escarpment retreat and sub-cliff slope evolution. The research funded through this award will strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences as outlined under...
This $735,074 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Washington. The primary objectives of this 3-year grant, which runs from September 1, 2026 to August 31, 2029, are to: Develop a comprehensive, AI-ready dataset of topographic, meteorological, and environmental variables for major wildfires across the western U.S. This dataset will serve as the foundation for probabilistic models to predict...
This $256,252 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research by the Aspen Global Change Institute to estimate the emergence of anthropogenic warming signals in snow water resource metrics in mountainous regions. The three-year project grant will use an innovative modeling framework including a large ensemble climate model, statistical learning techniques, and process-based hydrological modeling to analyze uncertainty and attribute changes in...
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...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $126,709 to Colorado State University to conduct rapid assessment of air quality during wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires in Southern California. The goals are to sample and analyze air pollutants emitted from the fires, quantify the contribution of structure fires to hazardous air pollutants, and inform disaster response policy, ecosystem health assessments, and recovery...
This $197,844 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a planning project to address knowledge gaps and co-design scientific approaches to proactively mitigate hazards and reduce risks associated with post-fire debris flows and floods. The University of Arizona, as the prime awardee, will collaborate with the Yavapai County Flood Control District to develop research questions that will enhance understanding of fire...
