This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award, valued at $642,396, was granted to William Marsh Rice University in Houston, Texas. The project aims to improve understanding of the Earth's water cycle and hydroclimate by integrating data on water isotopes from present-day observations and paleoclimate proxies. Key activities include: Developing the Water Isotopes and Climate Network (WISONET) research platform to provide seamless access to modern...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $351,926 to Yale University to conduct research on the connections between tidal flooding, saltwater intrusion, and alkalinity exports in tidal marsh wetlands. The project will develop a mathematical model combining estuarine physics, hydrological drivers, and biogeochemistry to estimate how much alkalinity is delivered from marshes to the ocean. This research aims to improve...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $523,014 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to develop computational models of global carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes from inland waters. The research aims to provide robust, physically-constrained estimates of CO2 emissions from rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs by coupling hydrologic and hydraulic routing systems with a stream network CO2 model. The project will validate the...
This $372,598 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to incorporate stream biogeochemistry into carbon assessment models for enhanced rock weathering, a carbon dioxide removal approach. The project aims to add biological processes like photosynthesis and respiration into a dynamic river network model to better quantify the fate of bicarbonate generated through enhanced rock weathering. This will help identify river...
This Project Grant award for $923,715 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Texas A&M AgriLife Research, a state government entity and 1862 land-grant college within the Texas A&M University System. The project aims to improve understanding of how water, carbon, and nitrogen cycling in soils are linked across local to landscape scales. The research will involve field, laboratory, and scaling studies to examine how soil properties and...
This $850,918 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to characterize the role of reverse weathering reactions on marine silicon (Si) and lithium (Li) isotope mass balances. The research aims to develop Si and Li isotope ratios as proxies to better understand modern reverse weathering reactions and their impacts on the carbon cycle. Key activities include: Analyzing archived sediment and porewater...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $350,000 to William Marsh Rice University to investigate how engaging coastal communities in stormwater management can enhance flood resilience. The research explores two interventions: increasing civic engagement in infrastructure design, implementation, and maintenance processes (infrastructural...
This $949,431 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, supports research to investigate how the timing of seasonal life cycles influences interactions among multiple species, especially indirect effects involving shared predators or resources. The project will integrate experiments studying amphibian pond communities with theoretical models to determine how variation in the sequence and spacing of species' phenologies...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $350,000 Project Grant under CFDA 47.041 (Engineering) to William Marsh Rice University to conduct research on mitigating salt buildup issues in carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction electrolyzers. The project aims to develop a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms governing salt migration and formation in CO2 reduction electrolyzers, and to devise effective strategies for salt removal to enhance the long-term stability of this technology. The...
