Surveying small...
- This $200,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Wake Forest University from January 2023 through December 2024 to develop a modeling framework integrating vegetation phenology and dynamic water storage under drought conditions. Funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research aims to better understand land-atmosphere interactions characterizing drought events in mountainous regions of Colorado. Specifically, the university will couple a land surface...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,018,305 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to Montana State University in Bozeman, MT. The grant, running from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2029, will fund research to investigate the role of tree carbohydrate dynamics in drought recovery mechanisms. The researchers will develop the ability to remotely measure tree carbohydrate levels in order to predict drought recovery and survival. The project also...
- The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $464,646 Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) project grant to the University of Wyoming (UW) to study the magnitude and drivers of past droughts in the headwaters of the Snake, Colorado, and Missouri Rivers. The project aims to quantify changes in precipitation, evaporation, and snowmelt processes in the Rocky Mountains over the past 15,000 years since the last ice age. This research will provide robust benchmarks for evaluating changes to...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $305,824 to Oregon State University supports research to investigate how changes in land cover and climate are impacting water and carbon cycles in grasslands. The key activities include: Quantifying how woody encroachment alters soil water flow and groundwater dynamics in the Konza Prairie research site in Kansas. Measuring the impact of woody encroachment on carbon processes like respiration and...
- 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 two-year, $188,177 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund the development of new techniques for mapping and monitoring plant drought stress using repeat hyperspectral data. The University of California, Santa Barbara will link detailed measurements of plant drought stress, water use, and water sources to remotely sensed data on plant water content. This will identify areas of drought resilience and vulnerability during an...
- This Project Grant award, titled "CAREER: UNVEILING THE ROLE OF HILLSLOPE HYDROLOGY IN MEDIATING ECOSYSTEM RESPONSE TO DROUGHT", was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program. The award of $206,231 was granted to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and will span the period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2030. The project aims to understand how trees may slow their growth or die during drought, and the...
- 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,...
