This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a $466,599 research project at Washington State University to study the hydrological and ecosystem impacts of beaver dam analogs, a common river restoration approach. The 3-year project, running from October 2024 to September 2027, aims to develop the scientific foundation for measuring and modeling the effects of these structures on water flows, with the goal of improving restoration...
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 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...
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 $165,288 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the geomorphic effects and distribution of anthropogenic debris in urban streams. The University of Vermont will quantify the distribution of macro debris larger than 5 cm within and across stream reaches in an extensive, multi-city study. Time lapse photography and repeated surveys of large debris, streambed topography, and sediment size will quantify debris mobility and...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program ($937,251) funds research into scaling climate connectivity and communities in streams. Led by Pennsylvania State University from March 2022 through December 2023, the grant supports a three-year field study across 10 regions in the southern, central, and western U.S. Researchers will collect streamflow and biological data to investigate differences between intermittent and perennial streams. The University...
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...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $399,900 to Lehigh University to develop a human-centered modeling approach that simulates best management practices (BMPs) and behaviors under uncertainty to meet water quality guidelines. The project, titled "A HUMAN-CENTERED MODELING APPROACH TO SIMULATE BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND BEHAVIORS UNDER UNCERTAINTY TO MEET WATER QUALITY GUIDELINES", combines...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $174,000 to fund research from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2024. The funding supports a study investigating the impact of flooding intensity on levee development and dynamics. The Geosciences program aims to advance fundamental knowledge and understanding of Earth's integrated systems through basic research in atmospheric, Earth, and ocean sciences. This award will further those goals by exploring...
