This $311,397 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to integrate mathematical models and microcosm experiments to understand the effects of disturbances, such as fire, drought, and flooding, on community interactions in biological systems. The key objectives of the 3-year project (Aug 2024 - Jul 2027) are to: 1) Determine the differential impacts of pulse (short-term) versus press (long-term)...
This Project Grant award, valued at $246,125 and awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049), supports research at Carleton College aimed at advancing the theory of resolvent degree, a measure of complexity for solving polynomial equations. The key products and services to be delivered through this 2-year award include: 1) Developing computational techniques and improving existing theorems related to resolvent degree and adjacent...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $1,414,358 to support research examining how plant traits and species interactions influence ecosystem and population stability in the face of climate change. The Regents of the University of Minnesota will conduct theoretical modeling, greenhouse and field experiments, and engage in knowledge sharing activities from January 1, 2023 to...
This $280,634 federal Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research at the University of Florida on how individual variation in species traits can influence ecosystem stability. The project aims to develop a theoretical framework for studying "trait-shift induced interaction modification" and its effects on ecological dynamics. Researchers will integrate mathematical modeling and empirical analysis to...
This $100,011 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research on stochastic growth models and mathematical structures called line ensembles, which have applications in fields ranging from magnetization to protein synthesis. The research aims to expand knowledge of line ensembles and related techniques, leading to solutions for previously intractable problems. The award includes organizing conferences...
This $322,030 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a research initiative at Colby College to study the resilience of atoll ecosystems to climate change and human impacts. The project aims to enhance understanding of how atolls, low-lying coral islands, respond to threats like sea-level rise, ocean acidification, and intensified storms through the integration of remote sensing, machine learning, and numerical...
This $143,126 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The grant supports collaborative research at Macalester College to study how the growing scale and organization of scientific knowledge impacts the pace of scientific discovery. The project will apply topological data analysis techniques to bibliometric and grant payment data to examine concept...
This $100,972 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) supports fundamental research on nonlinear partial differential equations and their applications in fields such as crystal growth, combustion, and game theory. The primary investigator (PI) will study the regularity, large-time behavior, and qualitative properties of solutions to these equations, which have connections to areas like the calculus of...
This Project Grant award, valued at $118,926 and awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports research investigating the socioecological outcomes of restoration efforts in forest-grassland ecosystems.
