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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $201,253 to The Pennsylvania State University ("Penn State") from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027 to study the impact of sea level rise on the health of coastal forests through changes in hydrological processes, with a focus on stemflow. The research aims to uncover the role of stemflow, which is the precipitation intercepted by trees and channeled down the trunks to...
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 award of $290,728 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to understand how forest ecosystems respond to drought and high temperatures. The project aims to unveil the role of hillslope hydrology in mediating ecosystem response to drought, with a focus on how tree growth and mortality are impacted by access to deep water across different landscape positions. The research will...
This Project Grant award of $999,721.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project at the University of Florida to develop strategies to counter groundwater challenges resulting from rising sea levels, climate change, urban sprawl, and agricultural impacts in coastal communities. The project will involve developing decision-support tools and recommending nature-based solutions, such as mangrove restoration and green stormwater...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), is focused on studying the interactions between aquatic plant canopies and water flow. The $213,511 award will fund research to enhance the understanding of how flexible and rigid plant structures in river environments affect water flow and drag forces. The project involves a combination of experiments and numerical simulations to investigate these complex plant-water interactions, with the...
This $134,207 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to transform the scientific community's understanding and forecasting of coastline changes in response to shifting storm climates and sea-level rise. The project will develop new techniques to downscale global climate model outputs to produce detailed forecasts of the winds, waves, and water levels affecting specific coastlines, such as the Carolina...
