This $224,827 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support collaborative research at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to quantify how salinization impacts carbon processing across terrestrial-aquatic boundaries. The key objectives are to: 1) measure field relationships between soil and stream chemistry across a salinity gradient, 2) experimentally determine how soil salinization...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $383,646 Project Grant to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey to conduct collaborative research on hydrogeophysical monitoring and modeling of soil salinization processes in coastal transition zones. The research aims to improve understanding of how subsurface heterogeneity regulates gradual and rapid saltwater intrusion driven by climate change and sea level rise. Key project activities include: Applying...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $161,665 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Old Dominion University Research Foundation (Odurf) to investigate the magnitude and drivers of cold-season water and carbon export in North Atlantic salt marshes. The project aims to (1) monitor soil temperatures, groundwater, and surface water levels, salinity, and temperature in four salt marshes between Massachusetts and Nova Scotia; (2) quantify groundwater discharge...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $250,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the University of Virginia.
