This Project Grant award of $165,410 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program supports collaborative research by North Carolina State University to investigate the biophysical drivers of the methane source-sink transition in northern forests. The research aims to: 1) identify the roles and response of soil microbial communities in methane flux; 2) understand how wet vs. dry landscape microsites and above/belowground components contribute to...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The award will support development of a closed-loop sensing, modeling, and communications system to aid in wildfire detection, mapping, and prediction from July 2022 through June 2025. The system aims to leverage detailed 3D environmental models incorporating fuel, terrain, weather and other...
This $732,679 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to improve the understanding of atmospheric methane oxidation by hydroxyl and chlorine radicals. The project will involve fabricating a laboratory photochemical reactor to study the kinetic isotope effects of these reactions under a wide range of experimental conditions, including temperature, pressure, and reactant concentrations. The primary analytical techniques will...
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 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program will support research by the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) to develop a sustainable vertiport system and autonomous drone swarm for methane emission monitoring over orphaned oil and gas wells. The $149,999 grant will fund three technical objectives: (1) a low-cost, portable, and sustainable vertiport to enable precision...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $239,679 will fund research at the University of Maine from November 2022 to October 2025 under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award will support understanding the biophysical drivers of methane source-sink transitions in northern forests. Researchers will examine how forest soil microbial communities respond to climate warming and identify conditions that could shift forests from net methane sinks to sources. Field...
This $542,989 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program, supports collaborative research to investigate spatial and temporal trends in carbon dioxide and methane emissions from tropical wetlands in Brazil. The research, conducted by the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, aims to: Measure greenhouse gas, soil, and vegetation carbon dynamics across a gradient of wetland saturation levels. Map seasonal and decadal changes in wetland...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $550,000 Project Grant under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program to the University of Miami. The 5-year grant, which began on September 1, 2025, will support research to quantify the emission and health impacts of aerosols generated from biomass burning in Southeast U.S. wetlands. The project will use advanced tools and controlled laboratory experiments to study the physical, chemical, and toxicological properties of these aerosols and their effects on...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $599,872 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant supports research to advance understanding of wildfire impacts on stratospheric chemistry through several linked components. MIT will study the chemical impacts of increased hydrogen bromide solubility in organic aerosols from wildfires and ozone production in stratospheric air from wildfire emissions. Researchers...
This Project Grant award of $317,959, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to gain predictive understanding of the physical processes underlying rapid wildfire spread and associated smoke transport. The research will consolidate common characteristics between naturally occurring density currents and fire-generated warm plumes to apply the physical understanding of observed large-scale turbulent flows to the rapid growth of billows in fire smoke...
