- This $800,565 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to explore the meteorological drivers of global mineral dust emissions. The project will leverage high-resolution climate model simulations to investigate the role of two key wind event types - downslope windstorms and haboobs - in generating atmospheric dust, and incorporate the...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research titled "UNRAVELING FLUVIAL KINEMATICS BEFORE THE RISE OF LAND PLANTS: BRIDGING LABORATORY AND GEOLOGIC SCALES." The two-year award beginning August 1, 2021 will fund basic research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to enhance understanding of the integrated Earth system through expanded knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences....
- This $836,711 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award to the University of Georgia Research Foundation will fund a 5-year research project to advance understanding of soil processes that control carbon storage and loss. The project aims to determine the importance of factors like burn severity, soil type, and erosion in driving the quality and quantity of dissolved organic matter and pyrogenic carbon in soils and water outflow. The research will...
- This three-year, $378,208 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into polyphosphate production and cycling in marine ecosystems through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography will assess the total content and chain length distribution of polyphosphate across microbial groups and environmental conditions in the Pacific Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Researchers will apply a new phosphorus-targeted mass...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $499,036 to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation to investigate the role of phosphorus in stabilizing soil organic matter. The project aims to describe the mechanisms by which organic and inorganic phosphorus control the adsorption and stabilization of mineral-associated organic matter through laboratory and field experiments, spectroscopic and microscopic analysis. The research...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $399,984 to the University of Wisconsin-River Falls (UW-River Falls) seeks to study the cycling and transport of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in agricultural soils. The two-year project, titled "EMBRACE-EAR-GROWTH: Coupling In-Situ Probing and Modeling Moisture-Related Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling and Transport", aims to: Decipher redox-related soil C and N cycling, mobilization,...
This $200,000.00 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will enable the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to conduct collaborative research evaluating paradigms in phosphorus (P) biogeochemical cycling. The study will determine the role of the atmosphere as a supplier of P, a key soil nutrient, to ecosystems by reconstructing how P cycled over time using lake sediments. The research aims to re-evaluate established paradigms on ecosystem P cycling by focusing on young, eroding landscapes derived from P-poor parent materials, where atmospheric transport and deposition of P-bearing dusts may be a critical driver of ecosystem development. The project will integrate paleo-denudation rates, soil enrichment factors, and present-day soil and water samples to answer fundamental questions related to the ability of atmospheric P inputs to drive the development of ecosystems on P-poor parent material. The findings will have important implications for understanding and predicting ecosystem functions like organic matter decomposition, as well as the impacts of dust deposition on water quality and supply in arid regions.
