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 award of $270,278 to the University of Rhode Island will support research to better understand the long-term relationship between climate and fire activity in the eastern United States. The project aims to analyze sediment records spanning the Holocene (last ~12,000 years) to compare historical fire and climate patterns prior to significant human impacts. This empirical data will be used to quantify...
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 four-year, $212,466 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research exploring boreal forest fire feedbacks through multiple timescales. Colorado State University will investigate paleohistory of short-interval fires using lake sediment cores, conduct fieldwork on fire resilience, and use high-performance modeling to estimate future fire behavior. The research aims to determine if current short-interval fires are creating novel...
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 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs will support collaborative research on boreal forest fire feedbacks from 2023 to 2027. The $138,467 award to the University of Colorado Denver will explore the paleohistory of short interval fires in boreal forests through analysis of lake sediment cores. Fieldwork will determine the resilience of current landscapes to short interval fires and whether these are creating novel forest structures. High-performance...
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 $162,477 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CFDA 47.075 - Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences) supports research investigating social-ecological relationships and long-term cultural burning practices in high-elevation ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest. The primary objectives are to: 1) conduct archaeological surveys of subalpine areas; 2) interpret early Holocene subsistence and changes in burning...
This $836,720 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology will support research integrating modern and paleoecological perspectives to disentangle grazer and climate controls on fire activity. Over a three-year period from January 2023 through December 2025, the awardee Yale University will combine data from nine present-day herbivore exclusion experiments, observational records from remote sensing and field monitoring, and five paleoecological archives...
This $199,770 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Texas A&M University to examine the impacts of wildfire smoke on the Earth's climate and energy budget. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Incorporating 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...
