- This $300,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to enhance the resilience of groundwater resources in major U.S. agricultural regions through a participatory planning approach. The project team at Southern Illinois University, with sub-awards to Iowa State University and the University of Nebraska, will develop an AI-based modeling system to empower farming communities in addressing groundwater depletion and...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $135,001 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado to support collaborative research on anthropogenic water management, climate change, and environmental sustainability in the Southwestern United States. The three-year award, made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research from September 2021 through August 2024 examining the interrelationships between human water usage, climate...
- This $180,267 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate the impact of climate change on karst groundwater resources using advanced deep-learning techniques. The research, led by Sam Houston State University, will develop innovative deep-learning models to analyze comprehensive data from U.S. karst aquifers and integrate climate projection data to forecast the future status of these critical groundwater resources...
- This $198,435 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project titled "P4CLIMATE--A Paleo Perspective on the Links Between Climate and Food Security." The project will quantitatively assess shifts in maize production in North America over the past 1,200 years by merging paleoclimate, weather generation, and crop modeling data. This research aims to understand the impacts of prolonged droughts,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $745,594 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. The grant will fund a project titled "DISES-EX: Climate Resilience and Risk Aversion within the Integrated Dynamics of a Hydro-Agricultural System" from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027. The project aims to inform the optimization of water use efficiency in farming to ensure sustainable agricultural practices despite climate change impacts on water availability. It will explore how farmers' decisions and risk preferences influence their water use strategies during droughts, integrating economics, hydrology, and social sciences to develop effective policies and strategies that balance economic needs with environmental sustainability. The findings will inform policymakers and water resource managers on better ways to allocate and manage water resources as global food demand increases and climate change impacts water availability. The project will also promote educational and training opportunities for students, including those from non-traditional backgrounds. The University of Arkansas System's Division of Agriculture and the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville will serve as sub-awardees, contributing expertise in stakeholder engagement, groundwater modeling, and extension activities to support the project's objectives.
