Lafayette College received a $218,027 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on January 1, 2022 to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: WHERE DOES THE WATER GO: IMPROVING UNDERSTANDING OF STREAM-AQUIFER-ATMOSPHERE INTERACTIONS AROUND BEAVER DAM ANALOGUES." The award is being administered under the Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050) and will support basic research exploring the integrated Earth system through May 31, 2023....
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 $256,252 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research by the Aspen Global Change Institute to estimate the emergence of anthropogenic warming signals in snow water resource metrics in mountainous regions. The three-year project grant will use an innovative modeling framework including a large ensemble climate model, statistical learning techniques, and process-based hydrological modeling to analyze uncertainty and attribute changes in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award to Syracuse University totaling $547,085 provides funding to determine the sensitivity of eastern North American hydroclimate to climate forcings and feedbacks during the last deglaciation period. The researchers will measure stable isotopes in leaf waxes archived in lake sediments along a latitudinal gradient to track northward moisture import into the region by the North Atlantic Subtropical High....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant, awarded on June 1, 2025, provides $738,152 to the University of Massachusetts to integrate thermal physiology and species interactions to forecast the community response to environmental change. The key objectives are to: 1) use physiological assays to compare the thermal performance of native and invasive predatory marine invertebrates and their prey, 2) measure temperature-dependent predation, intraguild...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $523,014 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to develop computational models of global carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes from inland waters. The research aims to provide robust, physically-constrained estimates of CO2 emissions from rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs by coupling hydrologic and hydraulic routing systems with a stream network CO2 model. The project will validate the...
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 $259,328 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Tulane University to develop novel methods for real-time streamflow estimation and forecasting. The University will integrate direct measurements with numerical models to more accurately capture short-term flood wave propagation effects and seasonal impacts of riparian vegetation changes. Researchers will combine experimental, data-driven, and physics-based modeling to enable...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to quantify the contribution of wetlands and floodplains to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from streams and rivers. The $300,000 award to Yale University will fund a 3-year project that combines computer modeling and field measurements to determine the magnitude, frequency, and duration of water exchange between these aquatic habitats and adjacent rivers. The...
This $397,337 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the drivers and impacts of warm-season climate extremes in North America under a changing climate. The awardee, Northern Illinois University, will use high-resolution global climate modeling to examine how factors across various spatial scales influence extreme events like floods, heat waves and droughts. Researchers will simulate past and potential future warm seasons to...
