- This $812,787 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a collaborative research initiative titled "MRA: PANAM PEAT: Understanding Water and Carbon Cycling Across the Pan-American Tropical Peatland Biome." The project, led by the University of Nevada, Reno, aims to gain new insights into the structure and function of tropical peatlands across the Americas, from 20 degrees North to 20 degrees South. The...
- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), focuses on understanding the carbon cycling and methane dynamics of tropical peatlands across the Pan-American region. The $826,235 award, effective from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2029, will enable researchers at Stanford University to conduct systematic field measurements and data analysis to gain insights into the hydrological thresholds, peat...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $769,637 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Smithsonian Institution, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects, for a 5-year collaborative research project. The project aims to study spatial and temporal patterns of carbon dioxide and methane emissions across tropical wetland ecosystems in the Brazilian savanna (Cerrado). Researchers will collect high-resolution field data on greenhouse gas fluxes,...
- This Project Grant award of $542,989.00, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports a collaborative research project to study spatial and temporal tradeoffs in carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions in tropical wetlands in Brazil. The research team from the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies will collect data on greenhouse gas emissions and the changing extent of wetlands in the Brazilian savanna (Cerrado) ecosystem, which...
- This $861,035 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research into how mature trees in the Amazon rainforest are adapting to rising temperatures. Researchers at the University of Miami will conduct field studies around Peru's "Boiling River", a unique geothermal area that mimics the predicted future temperature conditions for much of the Amazon. The key objectives are to 1) map the environmental conditions in...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) provides $231,060 over 5 years to Lewis & Clark College to research the long-term dynamics of tropical forest regeneration across sites in Ecuador, Puerto Rico, and Panama. The project aims to understand how variations in environmental conditions and climate patterns, including seasonality and multi-year cycles, impact the timing and success of plant...
- Arizona State University was awarded $479,978 under a Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology to conduct collaborative research understanding the biophysical drivers of the methane source-sink transition in northern forests. The research will be conducted at the Howland Research Forest in Maine, where researchers have been measuring methane fluctuations since 2012 and have found the forest usually serves as a methane sink but occasionally becomes a...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $192,386 Project Grant through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Arizona for a 3-year collaborative research project to reconstruct tropical rainfall patterns over the last 200 years. The project aims to use stable oxygen isotopes measured in tree ring cellulose from sites across Central and South America to study variations in the position and width of the Intertropical Convergence Zone and understand how these changes...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research at the University of Arizona to investigate the potential impacts of drought and forest degradation on the Amazon rainforest's water cycling and susceptibility to tipping points. The $103,764 award, effective from February 2024 to January 2025, will fund field observations, data collection, and analysis to test three key hypotheses related to the Amazon's drought...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) provides $449,842 to Arizona State University (ASU) to empower diverse cohorts of undergraduate and graduate students to conduct interdisciplinary, community-based water resources research in the Vilcanota Urubamba Basin in Peru. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Training and empowering three diverse student cohorts from Rutgers...
