This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $190,296 to Susquehanna University to evaluate the effectiveness of Beaver Dam Analogues (BDAs) in improving the health and management of urban streams overwhelmed by stormwater. The project, titled "EMBRACE-EAR-SEED: Reshaping Environments: Low-Tech, Process-Based Restoration with Beaver Dam Analogues to Enhance Watershed Resilience in Human-Modified Landscapes," aims to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program provides $499,853 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to establish a North American Beaver Knowledge and Management Network. The network aims to synthesize research on the relationship between beaver management practices, beavers, and beaver-related ecosystem services, while identifying legal and regional variability in beaver management. The project will facilitate...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences grant award, with CFDA Number 47.050, provides funding of $180,000.00 for a 2-year project from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025. The project, led by Dr. D. Nev? Baker, aims to investigate the historical role of beavers in shaping the landscape and providing environmental resilience in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. The study will employ sedimentary analyses and DNA sequencing of ancient sediments (sedaDNA) to...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $201,438 to Colorado State University to study the role of large wood in promoting channel-floodplain connectivity for river restoration. The university will collect data from natural channels on characteristics of logjam formations and their influence on hydrologic connectivity between channels and adjacent floodplains. Researchers will use this data to develop guidelines for...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1.6 million Project Grant to Washington State University from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant funds research to understand the use of discretion and its socio-environmental consequences for reservoir systems. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Over the four-year period of...
This Project Grant award of $700,000 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is focused on improving computational models that describe the relationship between climate and streamflow. The project aims to address uncertainty in these models caused by the influence of human actions on the water cycle, with a specific focus on representing the impacts of dams, which control about 75% of annual runoff in the continental United States. The project will develop a...
The National Science Foundation awarded Washington State University a $300,153 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The grant will support the collaborative research project "CORRELATED VELOCITY MODELS AS DYNAMIC UPSCALING AND MODEL TRANSLATION TOOLS FOR WATERSHED-SCALE HYDROBIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLING" to be conducted in Pullman, Washington. The Geosciences program seeks to strengthen understanding of Earth's...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Fish Habitat Partnership (CFDA 15.686) provides $109,686 to Utah State University (USU) to explore the effectiveness of using large woody debris to support beaver activity and habitat restoration on the Lower White River in Utah. The key goals are to: 1) utilize large wood mechanically removed as part of an ongoing river restoration effort to mimic beaver-created habitat and promote continued beaver presence, and 2)...
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 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. The project aims to examine how restoration programs impact social and environmental systems, identify the drivers of these changes, and develop cost-effective tools to assess the benefits and tradeoffs of restoration interventions. Key...
