This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports collaborative research to investigate how changes in land cover and climate impact water and carbon cycles in a grassland ecosystem. The $305,824 grant awarded to Oregon State University will be used to: Quantify the effects of woody plant encroachment on soil properties and water movement, 2) Measure the impact of woody encroachment on groundwater and stream flow, 3)...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) project grant award of $100,000.00 to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) aims to investigate how concurrent changes in climate and land cover affect below-ground water and carbon cycle processes in grasslands. The project will: 1) quantify how woody encroachment alters soil water movement and groundwater residence times; 2) measure the impact of woody encroachment on carbon subsurface processes and fluxes; and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $499,933 in funding from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028. The award supports a Research Coordination Network (RCN) that aims to develop a community of practice for co-producing resilient socio-ecological systems in grasslands, with a focus on the Great Plains region. The key objectives are to: 1) create a community of practice to integrate frameworks for resilient grassland ecosystems...
This Project Grant award was made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), which supports fundamental research and educational initiatives across various Earth science disciplines. The $180,000 award will fund a 2-year research project led by Dr. Rachel Keen and mentored by Dr. Pamela Sullivan at Oregon State University. The project aims to quantify the impacts of woody plant encroachment on soil structure, seasonal soil moisture dynamics, and...
This $270,754 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program supports collaborative research to investigate the impacts of the ongoing megadrought in the American West on soil moisture, ecosystem carbon-water cycling, and remote sensing capabilities. The research team, led by the Trustees of Indiana University, will synthesize hundreds of long-term soil moisture measurements with remotely-sensed data and eddy covariance tower observations to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) will support an experimental study on the impact of large grazers, specifically bison, on grassland ecosystems during extreme drought conditions in the Great Plains. The $199,949 award to Kansas State University will fund the development of methodologies to independently manipulate drought and grazing, testing the feasibility of using rainout shelters in the...
The University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. was awarded a $432,634 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant falls under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen the national scientific enterprise. Through this four-year award beginning August 1, 2021, the University of Kansas and its parent institution will collaborate on research titled...
The University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit research administration entity, has been awarded a $296,300 National Science Foundation Geosciences program grant (CFDA 47.050) to investigate the role of riparian wetland vegetation in facilitating nitrogen removal during high streamflow conditions. The 5-year project aims to advance scientific and student understanding of the mechanisms driving nitrogen removal in these wetland systems, which is critical for mitigating water...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award provides $100,000 to Kansas State University (KSU) to investigate how people self-organize to manage the use of natural resources, with a focus on native watershed habitat rehabilitation and maintenance in urban/rural settings. The project applies behavioral science research approaches to build communities and networks that help maintain vital natural resources. It develops...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program award of $1,275,000.00 to New Mexico State University (NMSU) will support research on the shift from grasslands to shrublands in drylands of the southwestern United States. The key objectives are to study (1) how weather and land management affect this shift, (2) impacts on carbon and nutrient cycling, (3) the role of wind and water erosion, and (4) the influence of microbes, plants, and animals on the rate of...
