The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $201,625 Project Grant to Bates College under the agency's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to research the relationship between fire and climate in the Eastern United States. The project aims to better understand long-term fire-climate dynamics in the region and inform climate adaptation efforts related to wildfire risk. Key activities include developing and analyzing Holocene-era paleoclimate data to characterize regional fire patterns prior...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $1,031,339 to the University of Washington will fund research to study how disturbances and heterogeneity in temperate maritime forests of the U.S. Pacific Northwest affect ecosystem resilience to increasing wildfire activity driven by climate change. The project will integrate remotely sensed data on forest structure and wildfire patterns with new field measurements to test hypotheses on...
This $836,720 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology will support research integrating modern and paleoecological perspectives to disentangle grazer and climate controls on fire activity. Over a three-year period from January 2023 through December 2025, the awardee Yale University will combine data from nine present-day herbivore exclusion experiments, observational records from remote sensing and field monitoring, and five paleoecological archives...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $399,630.00, is provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to support U.S. researchers participating in a multinational research project on the impacts of wildfires on cultural heritage. The award will fund a collaborative research effort, titled "BELMONT FORUM COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: WILDFIRE RESILIENT CULTURAL HERITAGE (FIRECULT)", that seeks to explore the role of fire in the development of...
This $108,519 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to gain predictive understanding of the physical processes responsible for rapid wildfire spread and associated smoke transport within the atmospheric boundary layer. The project will utilize non-modal instability analysis and large-scale eddy simulations to investigate the dynamics and thermodynamic processes driving the rapid growth of billows in fire smoke plumes. This...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $270,278 to the University of Rhode Island will support research to better understand the long-term relationship between climate and fire activity in the eastern United States. The project aims to analyze sediment records spanning the Holocene (last ~12,000 years) to compare historical fire and climate patterns prior to significant human impacts. This empirical data will be used to quantify...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $221,164 to Washington State University to study the impact of environmental changes on traditional subsistence strategies of small-scale societies. The researchers will examine archaeological evidence of past human diets, integrated with paleoclimatological data, to understand how environmental fluctuations affected the availability of food resources...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of $176,388 to Oregon State University (OSU) aims to quantify the production of pyrogenic carbon (charcoal) during wildfires in the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest region and examine how this altered carbon affects soil carbon cycling during ecosystem regeneration. The study will leverage a unique dataset on the 2023 Lookout Fire in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest to (i)...
This four-year, $212,466 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research exploring boreal forest fire feedbacks through multiple timescales. Colorado State University will investigate paleohistory of short-interval fires using lake sediment cores, conduct fieldwork on fire resilience, and use high-performance modeling to estimate future fire behavior. The research aims to determine if current short-interval fires are creating novel...
This $181,696 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a survey experiment to investigate public perceptions and preferences related to wildfire risk reduction. The project, titled "RAPID: EXAMINING RECENCY OF 2024 WILDFIRE SEASON EXPOSURES AS AN ANTIDOTE TO THE INTANGIBILITY OF PUBLIC POLICY DILEMMA", leverages data on 2024 wildfires and recent/planned forest thinning activities to...
