The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,528 Project Grant to Northwestern University's Stable Isotope Biogeochemistry Laboratory under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The funding will support the acquisition of two peripheral instruments - a gas chromatograph with combustion and pyrolysis interfaces, and an elemental analyzer - as well as a water purification system. These instruments will replace aging equipment and maintain the laboratory's analytical capabilities to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of a new framework to accurately identify plant water sources using stable isotopes. The $341,501 award, effective July 15, 2025 through June 30, 2027, will fund research to address challenges associated with hydrogen isotope offsets between plant water and source waters, which have complicated the interpretation of plant-water interactions in ecosystems. The project...
This $234,419 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to advance understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric water isotope ratios. The awardee, New Mexico Consortium, will utilize the Community Earth System Model to develop a new water tagging capability and directly assess the influence of physical mechanisms on isotopic composition. This will allow simulated water vapor to record evaporation conditions and...
