CAREER: Self-consistent and Data-constrained Simulations of the Leader and Return Stroke Processes in Lightning Discharges
Despite lightning being such a common natural phenomenon, a large portion of its fundamental physics remains to be uncovered. Even its most studied element — the return stroke — re...
I-Corps: Combinatorial phage display for the development of specific, single target biopesticides against invasive plant pathogens
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project will be the establishment of a process to develop and rapidly create environmentally friendly biological fungicides...
Collaborative Research: Caution and Reference Effects
Understanding how we make decisions is essential to predict economic outcomes and to design optimal policy. Decades of research documented how people often deviate from rationality...
Collaborative Research: Roles of rupture complexity, geological structure, stress interaction on earthquake sequences
This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).Earthquakes remain one of the most significant natural hazards facing society...

RUI: DEVELOPING A PREDICTIVE MODEL OF STRAIN ACCOMMODATION FOR SEGMENTED NORMAL FAULT EVOLUTION, SEVIER FAULT ZONE, SOUTHERN UTAH
When tectonic stresses build within the Earth’s crust, faults form to relieve those stresses. These faults move bodies of rock past each other, commonly resulting in earthquakes th...
Collaborative Research: Integrating Digitization, Exploration, Genomics, and Student Training to Illuminate Forces Shaping Appalachian Lichen Distributions
Understanding the distributions of species in nature is a driving theme in the natural sciences, one that has remained elusive for centuries. Multiple forces shape species distribu...
Doctoral Dissertation Research: Investigating differential data collection among migrants, aid workers, and officials
This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).Political and environmental turmoil have led to the displacement of individua...
Fear at the top - risks discernment and mitigation by an apex predator in a cityscape
Cities are highly heterogeneous landscapes of risks and rewards for wildlife, a duality that can induce changes in animal behavior. Species navigating urban environments may benefi...
How Atmospheric Synoptic Kelvin Waves Influenced the Propagation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO)
The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is a large pattern of cloudiness and precipitation that forms over the equatorial Indian Ocean and the adjacent west Pacific and propagates slow...
