This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $253,338 to the University of Maryland, College Park to develop new capabilities to advance the monitoring and understanding of forest carbon dynamics in the Earth system. The project aims to: 1) develop cross-platform and cross-region learning frameworks for fine-scale carbon dynamics monitoring at large geographic scales; 2) create high-fidelity fast approximations of theory-based...
This $211,743 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reduce uncertainties in tree-ring records of wet extremes to aid interpretations of past climate and plan for future changes. The primary objectives are to: Use dendrometers to measure how tree growth responds to changes in precipitation frequency, intensity, and timing at sites in the AmeriFlux network. Reconstruct wet extremes of precipitation from previously collected tree-ring...
The University of Arizona was awarded a two-year, $143,148 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation to support the COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: OPENDENDRO - ADVANCED OPEN-SOURCE TOOLS FOR PALEOENVIRONMENTAL RECONSTRUCTION project. The grant was awarded on June 1, 2021 under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Through this...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $859,653 to the University of Texas at Austin from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2028. The funding supports research to develop and test models of tropical and temperate forest structure and dynamics through analysis of data from the Smithsonian's Forest Global Earth Observatory (ForestGEO) network. Investigators will leverage...
