This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $3,697,242 to the University of New Mexico to conduct the "Forest Research for New Mexico Water and Carbon Management" project. The project aims to improve understanding and management of New Mexico's forests and watersheds by integrating expertise in ecology, hydrology, community engagement, and rural economics. Key activities include gathering high-resolution data on how forest management, disturbance, and climate impact watershed structure and function, and developing science-based strategies for watershed planning aligned with local priorities. The project will also advance STEM education, workforce development, and economic opportunities for rural communities across the state through partnerships with organizations like the Bosque Environmental Monitoring Program and New Mexico State Forestry. This 4-year award, starting on July 15, 2025, is expected to serve as a model for improved forest, water, and carbon management in the Southwestern U.S. and dryland forests globally.
