- Federal Grant Award Summary This collaborative research project, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) with $207,236 obligated on July 1, 2026, investigates how hydrologic intensification—rapid shifts between drought and extreme rainfall cycles—alters near-surface soil properties and their capacity to absorb, store, and move water. The primary deliverables include controlled field experiments conducted across three geographically diverse sites in...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Office of Integrative Activities and the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded $342,230 to the University of Wisconsin - Madison for a collaborative research project spanning July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029. This Project Grant investigates how repeated cycles of drought and extreme rainfall—termed hydrologic intensification—alter near-surface soil properties and the ability of soils to absorb, store,...
- 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...
