The work will include...

This two-year, $143,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences program will fund postdoctoral research examining the long-term effects of socioeconomic activity on ecological stability. Under the sponsorship of Dr. Kristina Douglass at Columbia University, the early career scientist will study the impacts of different small-scale foraging, herding and agricultural livelihood strategies on soil and vegetation diversity. By shifting...

This $189,938.24 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program aims to develop strategies for assessing and mitigating social-ecological vulnerability in communities surrounding large protected areas in the Southeast U.S. The project, led by North Carolina State University with sub-awards to the University of South Carolina and University of Tennessee Knoxville, has three main...

This Cooperative Agreement award of $185,346 from the U.S. Geological Survey's National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program will fund a project titled "Climate Adaptation in Northeastern Forests to Support Birds of Conservation Concern and Ecosystem Services." The project will evaluate the effectiveness of climate adaptation strategies for sustaining habitat for priority songbird and grouse species, while also quantifying associated forest carbon...

This $135,798 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program funds collaborative research to develop flexible regression methods that can more accurately measure the economic impacts of climate change. The research aims to address limitations in existing approaches that do not adequately capture the effects of extreme temperatures on economic outcomes. The award supports the development of new statistical software and...

The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), awarded a $399,142 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado, to be executed from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The project aims to analyze how spatial impacts of climate change on agriculture are affected by trade and risk management strategies. Key activities include: (1) estimating trade responses to climate shocks and risks, (2) estimating planting responses...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 11.431) provides $298,677 to The Aspen Global Change Institute, Inc. to evaluate the impact and development process of climate adaptation case studies. The project aims to: (i) understand what makes an adaptation case study impactful, (ii) investigate the case study development process, and (iii) identify the limitations of case...

This $897,042 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports the development of an advanced ecological forecasting model by Earthshot Labs PBC, a for-profit technology company.
