This $126,270 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to develop new capabilities to monitor and understand forest carbon dynamics in the Earth system. The key products and services to be delivered include: Cross-platform and cross-region learning frameworks to enable fine-scale carbon dynamics monitoring at large geographic scales. High-fidelity fast approximations of theory-based carbon forecasting models using new meta-learning...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), aims to improve understanding of how forest structure and function influence "ecological climate" - the climate experienced by organisms within forest canopies. The $424,492 project, running from August 2024 to July 2028, will integrate data from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) into advanced forest canopy models to evaluate how forest diversity...
This $399,162 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to develop interpretable, stable, and mass-conserving artificial intelligence (AI) models to improve the computational speed and efficiency of geoscientific models, such as those used for air pollution and climate research. The project will create simpler "surrogate" machine learning models for key components like atmospheric chemistry and wildfire plume rise, allowing for...
Colorado State University was awarded a $199,724 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024. The grant will support collaborative research examining new roles for reactive oxygen species in mediating carbon fluxes at the terrestrial-aquatic interface. Specifically, the funding will enable investigation of how reactive oxygen species produced during microbial decomposition in soils and...
This Project Grant award of $1,121,416 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports collaborative research by Colorado State University to investigate how the structural and functional diversity of forest ecosystems influences ecological climate and climate change. The project will use data from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) to evaluate how forest canopy structure and function impact local and regional climate patterns....
This Project Grant award of $530,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to quantify the interactions and uncertainties between vegetation and climate using a combination of process-based models and machine learning approaches. The key objectives are to: Innovate vegetation prediction using machine learning techniques that leverage observational data and output from Earth System Models (ESMs) participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison...
This $531,962 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to examine the effects of the evolution of early land plants on the Earth's landscape, climate, and biogeochemical cycles. The research team at Stanford University will generate new field-based geochemical, sedimentological, and paleontological data from the Canadian Arctic to reconstruct ecological and environmental changes coinciding with the...
This Project Grant award of $290,728 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to understand how forest ecosystems respond to drought and high temperatures. The project aims to unveil the role of hillslope hydrology in mediating ecosystem response to drought, with a focus on how tree growth and mortality are impacted by access to deep water across different landscape positions. The research will...
