This Project Grant award of $162,477 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research investigating long-term cultural burning practices and social-ecological relationships in high-elevation ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest. The primary objectives are to conduct archaeological surveys, interpret historical subsistence and burning patterns, and use computational modeling to evaluate how human-environment interactions...
This $192,300 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports U.S. researchers participating in a multinational, Belmont Forum-led research project on cultural heritage landscapes and climate change. The project aims to develop a toolkit to assess the vulnerability and resilience of cultural landscapes, working with local communities in France, Norway, and Spain. The research will integrate social and ecological data with downscaled climate...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $270,278 to the University of Rhode Island will support research to better understand the long-term relationship between climate and fire activity in the eastern United States. The project aims to analyze sediment records spanning the Holocene (last ~12,000 years) to compare historical fire and climate patterns prior to significant human impacts. This empirical data will be used to quantify...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $201,625 Project Grant to Bates College under the agency's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to research the relationship between fire and climate in the Eastern United States. The project aims to better understand long-term fire-climate dynamics in the region and inform climate adaptation efforts related to wildfire risk. Key activities include developing and analyzing Holocene-era paleoclimate data to characterize regional fire patterns prior...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $556,655 Project Grant under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Auburn University for the research project "Collaborative Research: Resolving Past Fire-Climate Relationships to Understand Future Fire Potential in the Eastern United States." The project aims to better understand the long-term fire-climate relationships in the Eastern United States through the analysis of paleofire records spanning the Holocene period (last ~12,000...
This $836,720 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology will support research integrating modern and paleoecological perspectives to disentangle grazer and climate controls on fire activity. Over a three-year period from January 2023 through December 2025, the awardee Yale University will combine data from nine present-day herbivore exclusion experiments, observational records from remote sensing and field monitoring, and five paleoecological archives...
This $297,813 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program is supporting research to advance the predictive understanding of wildfire ignitions in the western United States. The award establishes new collaborations between Boise State University, the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), and NASA Ames Research Center to study the impact of climate, weather, land use, and social factors on wildfire...
This $146,766 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a 5-year research project titled "UNDERSTANDING VULNERABILITY TO WILDLAND FIRE BY ASSESSING WILDFIRE DISTURBANCE AS A MULTI-SCALAR SYSTEM" at Boise State University. The project aims to analyze patterns of vulnerability to wildland fires on a national scale, evaluate perceptions and experiences of affected communities regarding wildland...
This Project Grant award of $277,490.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports U.S. researchers participating in a multinational research project on cultural heritage and climate change adaptation in coastal regions. The project, titled "Coastal Tales, Telling Adaptations: Living Environmental Stories for Coastal Resilience," focuses on integrating local and traditional knowledge, social science, and natural science to determine how past...
This Project Grant award, valued at $317,959, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Florida State University (FSU) to conduct research aimed at gaining predictive understanding of the physical processes behind rapid wildfire spread and associated smoke transport. The key objectives of this 3-year project are to: Perform non-modal instability analysis of fire smoke plumes to delineate the key processes responsible for rapid growth of...
