This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), is focused on studying the interactions between aquatic plant canopies and water flow. The $213,511 award will fund research to enhance the understanding of how flexible and rigid plant structures in river environments affect water flow and drag forces. The project involves a combination of experiments and numerical simulations to investigate these complex plant-water interactions, with the...
This Project Grant award of $349,943.00, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will fund research to quantify the effects of clay on fluid motion and turbulence development. The University of Illinois will use a custom laboratory flume to systematically explore how clay concentration influences the transition from laminar to turbulent flow, the structure of boundary layers, and the impact of surface roughness on turbulence modulation....
This $553,400 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a multi-scale experimental and numerical investigation of the impacts of turbulence and vegetation on flow and solute transport in the hyporheic zone. The Regents of the University of Minnesota will combine laboratory flume experiments, numerical simulation, and field experiments in an outdoor stream to quantify how vegetation and turbulence affect surface-subsurface exchange and...
This $259,328 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Tulane University to develop novel methods for real-time streamflow estimation and forecasting. The University will integrate direct measurements with numerical models to more accurately capture short-term flood wave propagation effects and seasonal impacts of riparian vegetation changes. Researchers will combine experimental, data-driven, and physics-based modeling to enable...
This $398,984 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to quantify the biophysical, physiological, and phenological impacts of increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels on vegetation and their effects on future climate change. The research utilizes the Community Earth System Model to examine the direct impacts of CO2 fertilization and stomatal closure, as well as the indirect effects of a longer growing season, on...
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 $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports an experimental investigation of how mangrove root structures influence coastal wave and current dynamics. The University of Rhode Island is the primary awardee, with no sub-awards planned. The key objectives are to: (1) evaluate how mangrove root morphology affects hydrodynamic processes, (2) examine how currents modify wave dynamics in mangrove environments, and (3) analyze...
This Project Grant award of $397,498 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to identify the impact of irrigation on the movement of water through urban landscapes across different climates, spatial scales, and time periods. The project, titled "EMBRACE-EAR-GROWTH: Evaluating the Scale-Dependent Impacts of Irrigation and Water Limitations on Ecohydrological Functioning of Urban Landscapes," will use targeted field research,...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $672,505 to Cleveland State University (CSU) to investigate how the canopy traits of different tree species, such as bark roughness and leaf angles, affect the partitioning of rainfall into interception, stemflow, and throughfall. The goal is to determine which canopy traits can best filter stormwater and reduce flooding in urban areas. The research team will use...
