Project Grant 2522176
- 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 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $102,118 to The University of Akron for a research project studying agrarian economies and land-use impacts. The research team will examine how agricultural practices, population growth, and new settlements shape regional land-use patterns, utilizing advanced microbotanical and biomolecular analysis techniques. The project addresses key research questions...
- This Project Grant award of $303,440.00 from the National Science Foundation's 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 measure nations' ambitions and claims against expert evaluations, in order to assess the determinants of robust guidelines and their role in adaptation and resilience practices. The research will produce a comprehensive data set to enable...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award in the amount of $399,975 to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) funds research to identify "bright spots" of improving ecological conditions and human resilience, as well as "hot spots" of land degradation and human vulnerability. The project integrates household surveys, community-level interviews, and drone-derived imagery to understand...
- This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $100,972 to Wesleyan University to examine the drivers of fine-scale land-use and land-cover change and their impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and indigenous communities. The project develops novel remote sensing methods using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to collect high-resolution spatial and temporal data, enabling...
- 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 Project Grant award for $738,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a study examining how land management practices after government-funded property buyouts can integrate ecosystem services and community preferences to improve ecological and societal outcomes. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Conducting field research to document current land uses, estimate ecosystem...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a study that investigates human social dynamics, strategies, and technological innovations in relation to environmental shifts. The $149,939 award to Arizona State University, to be executed between August 2025 and July 2027, integrates archaeological and paleoecological data to enhance understanding of long-term human-environment interactions. Key...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded Trustees of Boston University a $575,862 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The grant supports research to develop advanced statistical techniques and spatial machine learning methods for accurately predicting land values and conservation costs across large, heterogeneous geographic areas in the United States. The grantee will compare...
- This $126,270 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to develop new capabilities to monitor and understand forest carbon dynamics in the Earth system. The key products and services to be delivered include: Cross-platform and cross-region learning frameworks to enable fine-scale carbon dynamics monitoring at large geographic scales. High-fidelity fast approximations of theory-based carbon forecasting models using new meta-learning...
This Project Grant award of $246,755 from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research that examines the impacts of variation in land use, land value, and land management over time. The investigators at American University will integrate qualitative research with high-resolution remote sensing techniques to track changes and human adaptations to land usage. The research aims to produce concrete impacts for communities by developing tools to assess change and providing training workshops for students and communities on using high-resolution remote sensing technologies. This innovative, technology-based approach will contribute to scientific discovery and expand understanding of how living things and their components can create tools that benefit society.
