Cornell University's Office of Sponsored Programs received a $596,196 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), awarded August 1, 2026, with a completion date of July 31, 2029. This collaborative research project addresses the ecological impacts of beaver populations on freshwater ecosystem dynamics in the Northeastern United States. The research integrates satellite remote sensing, artificial intelligence, field measurements, and simulation modeling to map and characterize beaver-engineered ecosystems at landscape scale, delivering a transferable detection and characterization framework applicable across forested regions. The project generates multiple tangible deliverables, including an online mapping tool designed to assist decision-makers such as watershed associations, land trusts, and state/municipal governments in land management planning. Additionally, the award supports educational products including inquiry-based case studies for middle and high school students, development of a graduate-level interdisciplinary team science course, and experiential research training for multiple graduate and undergraduate students. The research directly addresses NSF's mission to advance understanding of biological processes by quantifying the structure and function of beaver-modified freshwater ecosystems, which have become increasingly prevalent globally yet remain poorly understood using current scientific frameworks developed when beaver populations were scarce.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
