- This Project Grant award of $923,715.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports an interdisciplinary research project led by Texas A&M AgriLife Research to investigate the relationships between soil properties, water content, and cycling of carbon and nitrogen in soils from local to landscape scales. The project will involve field sampling, controlled laboratory experiments, and data analysis to better understand how soil structure, wetness, and...
- Colorado State University was awarded a $199,724 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024. The grant will support collaborative research examining new roles for reactive oxygen species in mediating carbon fluxes at the terrestrial-aquatic interface. Specifically, the funding will enable investigation of how reactive oxygen species produced during microbial decomposition in soils and...
- This $398,984 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to quantify the biophysical, physiological, and phenological impacts of increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels on vegetation and their effects on future climate change. The research utilizes the Community Earth System Model to examine the direct impacts of CO2 fertilization and stomatal closure, as well as the indirect effects of a longer growing season, on...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a Project Grant of $408,709 to the Trustees of Boston University under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) for the project "Shifting Paradigms in Atmospheric Deposition: The Rise of Organic Solutes." This postdoctoral fellowship aims to advance the understanding of how organic carbon and nitrogen in precipitation originate, transform, and impact ecosystems. The research will explicitly test whether events such as forest fires, transpiration,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $199,997 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Suny ESF, under the NSF Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) with a period of performance from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024. The grant is supporting a RAPID project to characterize the sources and chemistry of nitrogen oxides, nitrous acid, and particulate nitrate during the AEROMMA...
- This $399,162 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to develop interpretable, stable, and mass-conserving artificial intelligence (AI) models to improve the computational speed and efficiency of geoscientific models, such as those used for air pollution and climate research. The project will create simpler "surrogate" machine learning models for key components like atmospheric chemistry and wildfire plume rise, allowing for...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $324,608 to the University of Southern California (USC) will apply machine learning tools to improve predictability in atmospheric chemistry. The project aims to gain a better understanding of the influence of the plant biosphere on atmospheric composition and chemistry, with a focus on quantifying uncertainties and investigating the impact of canopy-scale processes on regional-to-global aerosol and...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $202,000.00 is focused on evaluating past trends and future trajectories of reactive nitrogen emissions from agriculture, and their associated impacts on air quality and radiative forcing. The key objectives are to: 1) exploit satellite and surface observations to constrain global reactive nitrogen emissions from agriculture over the past decade; 2) assess the drivers behind the inferred emissions trends; and 3) simulate the air quality and radiative impacts of future reactive nitrogen emissions scenarios under various agricultural intervention strategies and fuel decarbonization pathways. The award period runs from the grant date of August 15, 2025 through the ultimate completion date of July 31, 2027.
