This $185,453 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports collaborative research to quantify shifts in maize production in North America over the past 1,200 years. The research leverages paleoclimate data, weather modeling, and crop simulation techniques to understand the impacts of historical megadroughts and climate change on food production. Key activities include developing open-source software for climate field...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $121,978 to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. to investigate the long-term relationship between climate change and agricultural response, focusing on human interactions with plants and animals in dynamic natural and cultural landscapes. The research aims to illuminate how agrarian societies have responded to pronounced environmental...
The Pennsylvania State University was awarded a $233,042 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research titled "SITS: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: SOILS ARE SIGNALING SHIFTS IN AGGREGATE LIFE-CYCLES: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR WATER, CARBON AND CLIMATE FEEDBACKS IN THE ANTHROPOCENE?" from January 15, 2021 through December 31, 2024. The Geosciences program supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $299,258 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Delaware. The five-year grant, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2030, will support research and education initiatives to advance the climate resilience of U.S. food supply chains. The project aims to develop a quantitative framework to detect, track, and attribute climate-related disruptions throughout domestic and international food supply chains....
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) totals $100,000 and runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The project aims to measure the movement and amount of water and carbon in a Kansas grassland where the climate is getting wetter and the land cover is changing due to shrub encroachment. The interdisciplinary research will: 1) quantify how woody encroachment alters soil...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), awarded a $399,142 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado, to be executed from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The project aims to analyze how spatial impacts of climate change on agriculture are affected by trade and risk management strategies. Key activities include: (1) estimating trade responses to climate shocks and risks, (2) estimating planting responses...
