Boise State University received a $714,878 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), effective January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2031. The award funds a CAREER project investigating the hydrologic and biogeochemical consequences of multiple disturbances—including wildfires and debris flows—in mountain watersheds. The primary research deliverable involves studying nutrient processing and transport across the South Fork of the Payette River in Idaho's Payette River Watershed using field experiments, continuous monitoring, and numerical modeling to quantify nutrient availability, uptake, and export across varying disturbance history gradients. In addition to research outputs, the award supports the development of standardized field safety training materials for students, faculty, and research teams to enhance safety and accessibility of field experiences for the STEM workforce. Research findings will inform improved management practices for water quality and aquatic habitat in mountain watersheds. The project includes no planned sub-awards and will be conducted at the awardee's location in Boise, Idaho.Federal Grant Award Summary
