The National Science Foundation awarded a $349,710 Project Grant to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support the collaborative proposal "GEOPATHS:IN Recruiting Through Location-Based Curriculum and Field and Laboratory Research Experience for High School Students, Teachers and Undergraduates." The two-year grant project, running from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024, will provide location-based geosciences...
This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $260,937 supports research investigating the role of hillslope processes in modulating topographic change of upland drainage basins. Funded under the Geosciences program, which supports basic research in the earth sciences, the award will leverage field measurements, digital mapping, and theoretical modeling to examine how soil creep and landslides influence the movement of drainage divides over geologic timescales. Specifically, the...
This three-year, $334,539 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research between Colorado State University and the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez to test critical zone controls on mountain-scale relief in Puerto Rico's tropical climate. The research will examine how differences in critical zone processes influence topography through a comparative study of volcanic and granitic bedrock units on the island. The project will evaluate the impact of soil and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research titled "UNRAVELING FLUVIAL KINEMATICS BEFORE THE RISE OF LAND PLANTS: BRIDGING LABORATORY AND GEOLOGIC SCALES." The two-year award beginning August 1, 2021 will fund basic research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to enhance understanding of the integrated Earth system through expanded knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences....
The National Science Foundation awarded a three-year $336,534 Project Grant to the University of Colorado Boulder under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research on the role of extreme rainstorms and hydroclimatic regimes on arid escarpment retreat and sub-cliff slope evolution. The research funded through this award will strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences as outlined under...
This $386,491 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to reconcile discrepancies in the uplift history and tectonic causes of the northern Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California. The research will use low-temperature thermochronology and analysis of ancient river deposits to constrain the exhumation history and topographic evolution of the northern Sierra Nevada. The project aims to determine whether...
This $162,243 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at the University of Central Florida (UCF) to advance predictive understanding of landscape evolution and erosional extremes under changing climatic conditions. The key objectives are to: (1) extract local geomorphic transport laws driving landscape evolution using large-scale experimental data and novel physics-informed artificial intelligence methods; (2)...
This five-year, $475,451 National Science Foundation project grant in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research examining how topography preserves details of the seismic cycle. The principal investigator will develop computational landscape simulations under varying tectonic and climatic conditions to identify topographic signatures of the seismic cycle. They will then assess whether these signatures are recognizable in natural landscapes with independent constraints on seismic...
