- This Project Grant award of $154,191 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort led by the University of Utah to evaluate the impacts of toxic dust from the shrinking Great Salt Lake on agriculture and ecosystems. The project aims to shed light on how this wind-blown dust, containing harmful heavy metals like arsenic and lead, deposits into nearby ecosystems and accumulates in important crops such as corn and alfalfa....
- This $263,663 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to evaluate the impacts of toxic dust from the shrinking Great Salt Lake on agriculture and ecosystems. The project, led by the Trustees of Indiana University, will examine how wind-blown dust containing heavy metals deposited from the exposed lakebed threatens public health, agriculture, and regional ecosystems. The researchers will study the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) has awarded Utah State University (USU) a $498,424 five-year CAREER grant starting on July 1, 2024. The objective of this project is to advance the fundamental understanding of how plant ecosystems respond to exposure from salt-rich dust storms generated by the exposed dry lakebeds of inland saline lakes, such as the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The project will integrate laboratory and field methods with hyperspectral imaging...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $185,043 Project Grant to the University of Utah to conduct collaborative research on assessing current and future dust flux from the Northern Great Plains region of the United States under extreme climate variability. The research team will collect historical weather data and aerial photography to document drought conditions and wind erosion potential in the region during the 1930s Dust Bowl era, and use a portable...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $300,000 project grant to the University of Toledo for the period of July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027. The grant, titled "C2H2 EAGER: REDOX-DRIVEN MOBILIZATION AND AEROSOLIZATION OF HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOM TOXINS IN LAKE ERIE STRESSED SOILS," will investigate the hypothesis that wind-blown dust from coastal soils near Lake Erie can contain high concentrations of algal bloom-generated neurotoxins. This research...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $377,096 Project Grant to the University of South Dakota for a 3-year collaborative research project from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2028. The project aims to assess current and future dust flux from the Northern Great Plains region of the U.S. under extreme climate variability, drawing insights from the 1930s Dust Bowl drought. Key activities include collecting historical weather and drought data, measuring...
- This $249,742 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Portland State University to model the impacts of salt stress on coupled carbon and water dynamics in dryland critical zones. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Conducting controlled greenhouse experiments and developing models to understand how factors like root/shoot water and salt storage, plant salt uptake, and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Mississippi. The grant titled "C2H2 EAGER: PARTICLES OF PERIL: ANALYZING MINERAL DUST STORMS AND THEIR HEALTH EFFECTS USING REMOTE SENSING AND MACHINE LEARNING" will fund research to better understand the health impacts and hospitalization rates related to dust storms in the U.S. Southwest. The project combines satellite remote sensing data and...
- The University of Utah will receive $345,496 under a two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop new methods for measuring mercury and methylmercury isotopes in high-salinity, high-dissolved organic matter environments. Current methods cannot be used in these conditions, inhibiting understanding of mercury pathways into wildlife. The University will work with the U.S. Geological Survey to devise...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $372,431 Project Grant under its Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the University of Maryland, College Park. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NSF R2I2: RESILIENCE IMPLEMENTATION FOR SALT-INTRUDED GEOGRAPHIES (RISING) MID-ATLANTIC", will fund a collaborative effort to develop and implement science-based solutions focused on two key coastal economic sectors: farming and forestry. The project aims to improve regional...
