This $329,272 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the impacts of sea level rise on stemflow dynamics and associated hydrological and biogeochemical processes in coastal forests along the Atlantic seaboard. The University of Delaware, as the prime awardee, will use field measurements, laboratory analyses, and statistical modeling to understand how changes in stemflow (precipitation channeled down tree...
This $177,644 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to understand the impacts of sea level rise on stemflow dynamics and associated hydrological and biogeochemical processes in coastal forests. The project, led by George Washington University, will investigate the role of stemflow in the cycling of water and solutes in coastal forests experiencing stress from saltwater intrusion and the development of "ghost...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), doing business as Penn State, a $450,000 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) with a period of performance from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026. This grant supports a research project that aims to test a new framework depicting the soil-stream interface as a dynamic, expanding, and contracting volume encompassing near-stream zones and periodically...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) totals $100,000 and runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The project aims to measure the movement and amount of water and carbon in a Kansas grassland where the climate is getting wetter and the land cover is changing due to shrub encroachment. The interdisciplinary research will: 1) quantify how woody encroachment alters soil...
This $307,095 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program supports a 2-year research project at the University of Puerto Rico - Rio Piedras Campus. The project aims to investigate the ecophysiological responses of two key tree species in Caribbean tidal freshwater wetlands to the impacts of climate change, including warmer temperatures and increased salinity. Using field observations and greenhouse...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $472,614 to Cornell University from July 2022 through June 2026 to study the impacts of severe drought on tropical forest post-disturbance recovery. Specifically, the researchers are conducting a rainfall manipulation experiment in a forest in Puerto Rico that is recovering from Hurricane Maria in 2017. The project aims to characterize and predict forest resilience to climate change by...
The National Science Foundation awarded The Pennsylvania State University $315,000 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop next-generation, differentiable global hydrologic models. The four-year project grant, awarded September 1, 2022 and concluding August 31, 2026, aims to improve understanding of global low flow dynamics under climate change. Specifically, Penn State will build upon machine learning techniques to create process-based hydrologic models that are learnable and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $199,697 to Chatham University will assess the impact of invasive plant species on forest water budgets in a peri-urban forest in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The researchers will conduct experiments to rehabilitate a degraded forest by removing invasive species, excluding deer, and replanting native vegetation. They will collect high-frequency weather and soil moisture data to quantify how these...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $470,539 over a 3-year period from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2027 to The Pennsylvania State University to conduct collaborative research on extratropical storm track dynamics. The primary objectives are to: Demonstrate linkages between tropical deep convection, planetary-scale stationary wave activity, temperature gradients, and extratropical storm track activity. Identify the physical...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to transform the understanding of how coastlines respond to shifts in storm climate patterns. The $893,081 award to Duke University, with a project period from August 2024 to July 2027, will develop new approaches to downscale global climate model outputs to forecast the waves and winds affecting specific coastlines, such as the Carolina coastline. This...
