This $272,578 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate and quantify the impacts of unsaturated conditions on fluid flow, solute transport, and chemical reactions in subsurface hydrologic systems. The research will use novel 3D-printed soil structures and numerical simulations to visualize and predict how variations in water content and porous media characteristics influence mixing and reaction processes. This work...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $100,000.00 to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) aims to investigate how concurrent changes in climate and land cover affect below-ground water and carbon cycle processes in grasslands. The project will: 1) quantify how woody encroachment alters soil water movement and groundwater residence times; 2) measure the impact of woody encroachment on carbon subsurface processes and fluxes; and...
This $249,742 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Portland State University to model the impacts of salt stress on coupled carbon and water dynamics in dryland critical zones. The project will employ controlled greenhouse experiments, modeling, and field data analyses to elucidate how factors like root and shoot water/salt storage, plant salt uptake, and ionic/osmotic stresses impact drought and salt-induced stress in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research effort to investigate subsurface water storage and seasonal dynamics in the Amazon rainforest and a savanna site in Brazil. The $363,098 award supports geophysical surveys, data analysis, and integrative modeling over a 3-year period from Aug 1, 2023 to Jul 31, 2026. The research, conducted in partnership with Brazilian...
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....
This $270,754 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program supports collaborative research to investigate the impacts of the ongoing megadrought in the American West on soil moisture, ecosystem carbon-water cycling, and remote sensing capabilities.
