The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $201,625 Project Grant to Bates College under the agency's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to research the relationship between fire and climate in the Eastern United States. The project aims to better understand long-term fire-climate dynamics in the region and inform climate adaptation efforts related to wildfire risk. Key activities include developing and analyzing Holocene-era paleoclimate data to characterize regional fire patterns prior...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $556,655 Project Grant under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Auburn University for the research project "Collaborative Research: Resolving Past Fire-Climate Relationships to Understand Future Fire Potential in the Eastern United States." The project aims to better understand the long-term fire-climate relationships in the Eastern United States through the analysis of paleofire records spanning the Holocene period (last ~12,000...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant, awarded to Texas A&M University, aims to investigate the impacts of wildfire smoke on the Earth's climate and radiative energy budget. With $199,770 in funding from March 2025 to February 2028, the project will: Incorporate existing plume rise modeling and dark brown carbon absorption into the NCAR Community Earth System Model to quantify the uncertainties in estimating the radiative effects of biomass...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $552,632 provides funding from August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025 to support the research project "Defining the Paleoclimate-Fire Relationship in CA Across Temporal Scales Through Integrated Monitoring, Stalagmite Studies, and Proxy System Modeling." The award is made under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support basic research expanding understanding of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, the University of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $168,845 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa aims to advance the understanding of the subseasonal-to-seasonal variability of wildfires in Hawaii and improve the accuracy of long-term wildfire forecasting. The research will use a combination of historical data and reanalysis techniques to quantify the variability of wildfires and fire weather in Hawaii, and identify the climatic factors contributing...
This $178,567 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research defining the paleoclimate-fire relationship in California across temporal scales. The Ohio State University will conduct integrated monitoring of karst systems, develop stalagmite proxy records, and build a karst system model linking hydroclimate and fire proxies to environmental drivers. Researchers will analyze ten stalagmites defining latitudinal and coastal-Sierra Nevada transects...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $1,031,339 to the University of Washington will fund research to study how disturbances and heterogeneity in temperate maritime forests of the U.S. Pacific Northwest affect ecosystem resilience to increasing wildfire activity driven by climate change. The project will integrate remotely sensed data on forest structure and wildfire patterns with new field measurements to test hypotheses on...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $627,539 will fund research to define the paleoclimate-fire relationship in California across temporal scales through integrated monitoring, stalagmite studies, and proxy system modeling. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support four key objectives from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. First, the researchers will develop a process-based understanding of hydroclimate and fire tracers through cave monitoring....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $202,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to fund a postdoctoral research project on understanding the dynamics of compound heat wave-wildfire events in the western United States. The project, led by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Pennsylvania State University, aims to examine the large-scale climate conditions associated with these co-occurring events and how they may evolve under...
This $297,813 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program is supporting research to advance the predictive understanding of wildfire ignitions in the western United States. The award establishes new collaborations between Boise State University, the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), and NASA Ames Research Center to study the impact of climate, weather, land use, and social factors on wildfire...
