This $582,109 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to understand the role of land surface feedback in the development of flash droughts in the contiguous United States. The research team at the University of Nebraska will characterize flash droughts, investigate the influence of atmospheric conditions and land-surface interactions, and evaluate flash droughts in climate modeling. The project aims to improve...
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $737,332 project grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to Colorado State University. The 3-year project, beginning June 1, 2024, aims to develop a high-resolution, near real-time monitoring and forecasting system for agroecosystem drought and forage production in the Western Great Plains. The system will leverage satellite and ground observation data as well...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $142,090 Project Grant to James Madison University (JMU) under the Geosciences CFDA program. The grant supports a collaborative research project to "Uncover the Role of Land-Atmosphere Feedbacks on Flash Drought Intensification, Severity, and Expansion." The project aims to better understand the conditions under which land-atmosphere interactions contribute to rapid drought intensification and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $262,898 project grant to the University of Wisconsin System to support collaborative research on uncovering the role of land-atmosphere feedbacks on flash drought intensification, severity, and expansion. The key objectives of this 2-year project are to better understand the conditions in which land-atmosphere interactions contribute to rapid...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $148,732 Project Grant under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees) to create a new model for improving water sustainability under extreme droughts. The project will quantify the drought-water security relationship and apply the approach to improve decision-making using seasonal forecasts and stakeholder information. The model results will be distributed to user groups currently coping...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310 - Agriculture and Food Research Initiative) provides $649,965 to Texas A&M Agrilife Research to develop an Integrated Decision Support System (IDSS) called EcoHAWQS@Farm. The IDSS will help small and medium-scale farmers and local soil and water conservation managers assess the risks and benefits of adopting new conservation management practices to respond to drought and...
