Adaptive Human Migration in Changing Environments: Leveraging Geographic Sciences to Advance New Models of Migration Decision-Making
This research investigates human migration as both a consequence of, and cause of environmental and social change. This project asks two related questions: why do people choose to...
Identifying the Physical Drivers and Radar Signatures of Fire-Generated Tornadic Vortices
Wildfires can generate their own severe weather, including tornados and thunderstorms embedded in the wildfire plume. These fire-generated extremes threaten fire-fighter and public...
Collaborative Research: SaTC: CORE: Medium: A Large-Scale, Longitudinal Resource to Advance Technical and Legal Understanding of Textual Privacy Information
A key aspect of consumer privacy protection is transparency. Yet despite a wealth of privacy policies and other texts that are pertinent to organizations' privacy practices, a...
Collaborative Research: Foreign Capital Liberalization, Structural Change, and Economic Empowerment of Vulnerable Groups
Many countries have promoted increased foreign capital liberalization as a path to economic growth and development. However, little is known about the social consequences of these...
IRES Track I: Rapid, Integrated Geotechnical and Geochemical Characterization of Mine Waste for Phytoremediation and Biofuel/Bioenergy Production
The transition to renewable energies requires mining raw materials to develop and sustain these sources of energy. Unfortunately, mining has historically created a legacy of heavy...
Combinatorics and its Applications
Combinatorics is the area of mathematics that studies discrete structures. This area has close links with many other fields of pure and applied mathematics and with other sciences...
Collaborative Research: Moving mountains: timing and emplacement of the Marysvale gravity slide complex
Volcanic fields are dynamic environments, characterized by rapidly evolving landscapes and extreme hazard potential. This research project is focused on learning and understanding...
East Asian monsoon response to changes in Earth’s orbit: A new stable isotope modeling study
Understanding the timing, intensity, duration, and spatial extent of Asian monsoon rainfall is important for the large population across Asia. Meanwhile, a perspective from geologi...
RUI: Biquotients, Cohomogeneity-One Manifolds, and Double Disk Bundles
The Principal Investigator seeks to increase our understanding of mathematical shapes, called manifolds, which are of particular interest to both physicists and mathematicians. One...
SaTC: TTP: Medium: Securing Python's Software Supply Chain
Creating and distributing software written in Python, in a secure manner, is surprisingly difficult. And as many recent incidents demonstrate, the security of this software chain i...
RCN: Inundation Signatures on Rocky Coastlines (ISROC)
Rocky coastlines around the world often show signs of storm or tsunami inundation in the form of long-lived coastal boulder deposits. However, their interpretation remains controve...
IRES Track 1: International Collaborative Experiences to Track Arctic LaKe Systems (ICE TALKS)
Numerous observations, taken across varied time scales, indicate climate and environmental change are accelerating in the high latitudes resulting in permafrost thaw. Documenting a...
Bioengineering Leukemic Bone Marrow Niche for Dissecting the Heterogeneous Leukemia Chemo-resistance Mechanisms
B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the most common cancer found in children. B-ALL occurs when our bone marrow, which is responsible for producing red and white blood c...
Collaborative Research: A fossil ecosystem under the ice: deciphering the glacial and vegetation history of northwest Greenland using long-lost Camp Century basal sediment
Climate warming is melting the Greenland Ice Sheet and contributing to global sea level rise. In order to understand how the Greenland Ice Sheet will behave in the future, we will...
CIF: Small: Load Balancing for Cloud Networks: Data Locality Issues and Modern Algorithms
Distributing incoming tasks among the back-end servers or virtual machines in a balanced way is crucial for the seamless functioning of large-scale service systems, such as data ce...
Collaborative Research: P2C2--Fingerprinting Forced and Unforced Variability in Holocene Paleoclimate Record
Distinguishing between natural and forced climate variability has large implications for both interpreting past variations and for making accurate predictions of the future. Climat...
The Algebra of Flow Categories
Should you draw on a piece of paper, without running back over your strokes, you will find that your figure has an even number of endpoints: one for each time you brought pen to pa...
SBIR Phase I: Automated Perception for Robotic Chopsticks Manipulating Small and Large Objects in Constrained Spaces
The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will use robots to mechanize one of the last remaining fully manual tasks...
Collaborative Research: How does the deep critical zone (CZ) structure impact the hydrology and coupled carbon cycling of northern peatlands?
Northern peatlands are a unique type of wetland found in the northern United States and a dominant landform at higher latitudes, including Canada, northern Scandinavia and Russia....
Collaborative Research: Characterization and Optimization of N-Heterocyclic Carbene Functionalized Nanoparticle Systems
With the support of the Macromolecular, Supramolecular, and Nanochemistry Program in the Division of Chemistry, Dr. David Jenkins of the University of Tennessee and Drs. Jon Camden...
