Project Grant 2321057
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $245,526 Project Grant to Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, to conduct collaborative research on unraveling the controls on the origin and environmental functioning of oxbow lakes. This project under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to evaluate how the initial geometry of meander cutoffs in the West Fork White River in Indiana determines the likelihood of oxbow...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $271,639 Project Grant to Williams College on August 1, 2023 under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study the formation of oxbow lakes. The 3-year collaborative research project will employ field data collection and numerical modeling methodologies to evaluate how the initial geometry of river channel cutoffs impacts the likelihood of oxbow lake development. The research team will work with the Indiana...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $174,000 to fund research from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2024. The funding supports a study investigating the impact of flooding intensity on levee development and dynamics. The Geosciences program aims to advance fundamental knowledge and understanding of Earth's integrated systems through basic research in atmospheric, Earth, and ocean sciences. This award will further those goals by exploring...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $338,559 to the University of Arkansas will fund a research project titled "Loops in Coastal Channel Networks: A Theoretical, Experimental, and Field-Based Investigation of their Morphodynamic Stability." The project aims to explore the stability of channel loops found in river delta networks, which existing theory suggests should be unstable. The research will use a three-pronged...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) project grant awarded to Louisiana State University (LSU) provides $275,000 in funding from August 2024 through July 2029. The project aims to investigate the iterative interrelations between public policies, resident perceptions/actions, and sociodemographic changes in the context of climate change-attributed extreme weather events. Key research activities include developing a conceptual framework to understand these...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $141,346 to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) from January 15, 2025 to December 31, 2029. The project seeks to understand the impacts of increases in dissolved organic matter, known as "lake browning", on the trophic status and dissolved oxygen levels in oligotrophic lakes. Using a combination of long-term data, experiments, and ecosystem modeling, the research aims...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $459,803 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program to the Science Museum of Minnesota to develop global frameworks for understanding river biogeochemical signals. The research aims to better predict changes in river chemistry and water quality across diverse watersheds by analyzing long-term water chemistry and flow data from over 450 rivers worldwide. The investigators will use machine learning and advanced...
- This $259,328 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Tulane University to develop novel methods for real-time streamflow estimation and forecasting. The University will integrate direct measurements with numerical models to more accurately capture short-term flood wave propagation effects and seasonal impacts of riparian vegetation changes. Researchers will combine experimental, data-driven, and physics-based modeling to enable...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $500,448 to Creighton University to conduct research examining the impacts of invasive woody plants on aquatic food webs in the Iowa Loess Hills region. The project aims to (1) quantify the relative influence of leaf litter subsidies from native and invasive woody plants on freshwater food webs, and (2) explain these differences in terms of leaf litter traits and biotic...
- This $909,435 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support a collaborative research project led by Duke University to study the critical role of bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts) in small stream and river ecosystems. The project aims to: Experimentally measure the impact of bryophytes on nutrient uptake, organic matter storage, and biodiversity in headwater streams within the Hubbard Brook Experimental...
This $108,453 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083). The funding supports a collaborative research project led by Louisiana State University (LSU) that aims to unravel the controls on the origin and environmental functioning of oxbow lakes. The project will employ field data collection and numerical modeling methodologies to evaluate how the initial geometry of meander cutoffs on the West Fork White River in Indiana influences the likelihood of oxbow formation. The research will also enable estimates of pollutant storage within oxbows and facilitate experiential learning opportunities for local students through partnerships with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and educational programs. The project has a performance period from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026.
