This $299,551 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Colorado State University to evaluate the impacts of plant biodiversity on the productivity of grasslands and forests across the United States. The project will use remote sensing technologies and field-based observations to characterize different facets of biodiversity and quantify their relationships with primary productivity. The research aims to...
This $297,323 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The funding supports a collaborative research project to study how habitat structure, specifically the spatial arrangement of plants and resources, impacts avian biodiversity across local to continental scales. Using airborne and satellite Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors, the project will explore the...
This $398,374 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a research project examining factors that drive the regeneration of forests in developing regions that have been deforested. The research combines satellite imagery and ethnographic methods to analyze how rural-to-urban land sales and the priorities of urban landowners contribute to tree cover gain. The project will expand geographic...
This $149,694 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) supports an interdisciplinary research project led by the University of Washington. The project aims to investigate the long-term interactions between humans and the environment in a biodiverse national park location, using archaeological, zooarchaeological, and geomorphological evidence. The research team is partnering with local community members to...
This $1,599,825 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Santa Barbara. The award aims to advance scientific theories and models of land use forecasting by integrating diverse, multi-scale data into dynamic prediction models to inform sustainable land use plans and prevent biodiversity and ecosystem service loss. The research will co-design decision support tools with scientists and policymakers in...
This Project Grant award of $652,022.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund a collaborative research project to integrate rapid assessment technologies at the landscape and island level to forecast changes in insect and spider populations in the Hawaiian Islands. The key products and services to be delivered include: Measuring the velocity and extent of non-native plant invasions in Hawaiian ecological landscapes using satellite,...
This $793,094 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program will fund research at the University of Colorado to quantify how global environmental changes, such as drought and warming, impact biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The project aims to transform understanding of the causal mechanisms by which biodiversity responds to global change drivers and how those biodiversity changes then feed back to alter productivity and other ecosystem...
This $303,440 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports the creation of a database and dashboard of ecosystem guidelines for 80 countries. The project aims to systematically study and compare how nations execute their pledges made in international agreements, across sectors such as energy, industry, transportation, agriculture, land use, and waste management. To achieve this, the project...

This $100,972 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research examining the impacts of land-use and land-cover changes on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and indigenous communities' livelihoods. The project, led by Wesleyan University, will develop novel remote sensing methods using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to collect high-resolution spatial and temporal data on local land-use change processes. By working closely with indigenous communities, the research aims to identify the drivers of land-use change and contribute to sustainable global economic practices. The project also includes integrated research and education plans, such as a summer institute, to broaden participation of underrepresented students in STEM research. The grant period runs from December 2024 to May 2026.
