Boise State University received a $270,175 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029. The award funds collaborative research quantifying changes in near-surface soil properties resulting from hydrologic intensification—the increasing frequency of rapid cycles between drought and extreme rainfall events. The research will generate empirical data on how soils respond to hydrologic extremes across agricultural, woodland, and mountain environments in Indiana, California, and Idaho through controlled field experiments and complementary laboratory testing. Key deliverables include scientific findings on soil infiltration dynamics under varying conditions of soil texture, vegetation density, compaction, freezing, and snow cover; publicly available research tutorials; and educational outcomes through graduate and undergraduate student training. The project produces applied knowledge supporting improved water and land resource management and enhanced flood forecasting capabilities. Dissemination activities include workshops and outreach engagement with farmers, water managers, and the scientific community. No subawards are planned under this award.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
