- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) aims to develop a new continental-scale data tool that integrates a variety of ground-based, remote sensing, and modeling data to better understand the variability and predictability of the North American terrestrial carbon cycle. The $929,221 award to Trustees of Boston University, with a project period of August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2028, will support the generation and analysis of...
- 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 $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...
- This Project Grant award for $600,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund the development of an interactive web-based platform called OpenForest4D. This platform will enable the generation of high-quality, research-grade estimates of forest structure and above-ground biomass across large spatial and temporal scales by applying novel statistical and AI models to a fusion of multi-source remote sensing data. The University of Florida...
- 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 $270,754 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program supports collaborative research to investigate the impacts of the ongoing megadrought in the American West on soil moisture, ecosystem carbon-water cycling, and remote sensing capabilities. The research team, led by the Trustees of Indiana University, will synthesize hundreds of long-term soil moisture measurements with remotely-sensed data and eddy covariance tower observations to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,999,048 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Oregon. The grant, effective January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2028, will support the "UROL:ASC: Using Rules of Life to Capture Atmospheric Carbon: Interdisciplinary Convergence to Accelerate Research on Biological Sequestration (CARBS)" project. The project aims to combine indigenous knowledge, artificial intelligence, and environmental...
This $1,198,881 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) is aimed at addressing uncertainties in estimating forest carbon uptake. The project, awarded to Indiana University, will blend state-of-the-art field observations and environmental network data to understand why current measurement approaches systematically underestimate carbon removal by undisturbed forests. The research team will develop novel techniques to enable more accurate forest carbon quantification that bridges field monitoring and regional/global policy setting. The project will also strengthen relationships with forest managers and policymakers, and emphasize training a workforce to measure forest carbon removals using the latest scientific tools. The award began on August 15, 2025 and is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2029.
