The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded Cleveland State University a $148,943 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) from October 1, 2021 to May 31, 2023. The grant funds collaborative research titled "Hydrology of the Vegetation on Vegetation: Comparison and Scaling of Rainfall Interception and Solute Alteration by Common Arboreal Epiphytes." Specifically, the university will conduct research comparing and scaling the...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), is aimed at understanding how forests respond to drought and high temperatures. The $290,728 award will fund research to unveil the role of hillslope hydrology in mediating ecosystem response to drought in forest ecosystems. The key products and services to be delivered include: Using a variety of tools, such as direct forest measurements and satellite observations, to...
This $329,272 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the impacts of sea level rise on stemflow dynamics and associated hydrological and biogeochemical processes in coastal forests along the Atlantic seaboard. The University of Delaware, as the prime awardee, will use field measurements, laboratory analyses, and statistical modeling to understand how changes in stemflow (precipitation channeled down tree...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $188,280 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota. The grant supports a two-year planning effort to assess the synergies and trade-offs between the benefits and burdens of urban trees and forests. Key objectives include: (i) analyzing the convergent conditions of tree-related ecosystem services and disservices in metropolitan regions, (ii) evaluating tree species-level vulnerability to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $415,000.00 to the University of Oklahoma to advance scientific understanding and practical solutions for managing winter storm-related tree hazards in Oklahoma City and surrounding communities. The project engages local agencies, nonprofits, and residents to co-develop tools and strategies that improve storm response, support public decision-making, and generate insights that can be shared...
This $211,743 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reduce uncertainties in tree-ring records of wet extremes to aid interpretations of past climate and plan for future changes. The primary objectives are to: Use dendrometers to measure how tree growth responds to changes in precipitation frequency, intensity, and timing at sites in the AmeriFlux network. Reconstruct wet extremes of precipitation from previously collected tree-ring...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reduce uncertainties in tree-ring records of wet extremes to better interpret past climate and plan for future changes. The total funding amount is $324,677, with an award date of July 1, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2027. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Using dendrometers (instruments that record tree growth in real-time) to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), is focused on studying the interactions between aquatic plant canopies and water flow. The $213,511 award will fund research to enhance the understanding of how flexible and rigid plant structures in river environments affect water flow and drag forces. The project involves a combination of experiments and numerical simulations to investigate these complex plant-water interactions, with the...
This Project Grant award of $199,697.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research at Chatham University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to assess the impact of invasive plant species on forest water budgets. The project aims to rehabilitate a forested area on the Chatham University campus by removing invasive species, excluding deer, and replanting native species. High-frequency weather and soil moisture data will be collected in restored...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program provides $3,498,053 to Purdue University to develop a cloud-based cyberinfrastructure (CI) for national urban tree inventory estimation. The effort aims to address data gaps in urban tree density, species, location, and changes over time, which hinders urban research, planning, and environmental equity. The CI will utilize spatio-temporal generative AI to...
