RAPID: Multiwavelength Imaging and Spectroscopy of the Corona During the 2021 December 4 Total Solar Eclipse
Solar eclipses provide a rare opportunity to learn about the solar corona. This outer layer of the Sun is a mystery – it is millions of degrees and much hotter than the photosphere...
REU Site: Tracking Land Change (TLC)
This project is funded from the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Sites program in the SBE Directorate. It has both scientific and societal benefits, and integrates res...
I-Corps: Blockchain-based Digital Timebank
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project will be a blockchain-based timebank that results in a shared empowerment system that leverages students’ strengths a...
Measurement of In Situ Mechanical Forces During Neotissue Formation
This grant will use tiny force sensors to measure the forces that exist during the earliest stages of tissue formation and for the maturation stages that follow. The push and pull...
Investigating Near-Surface Ocean Heating and Mixing Processes in the Presence of Surface Material
Solar radiation is the largest form of heating of the upper ocean and is unique to the air-sea flux balance due to its penetration beneath the ocean surface. It has been speculated...
I-Corps: A High Energy Lithium Metal Battery Enabled by Atomic Layer Deposition
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is to develop a lithium metal battery (LMB) technology that is superior to state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries (L...
I-Corps: Software Platform for the Assessment and Measurement of Port Disruptions
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project may enable stakeholders to model the functional and economic impact of cross-organizational, inter-infrastructure di...
Collaborative Research: Glacial deep Pacific carbon storage and effects on CaCO3 preservation
The oceans are threatened by climate change, and understanding how they will respond to higher CO2 levels has never been more important. Past changes in the ocean’s carbon cycle ca...
Vagrancy and Colonization by Birds: Escape from Climate Extinction?
Wild birds often turn up in unexpected places, far away from where they breed or usually migrate. These presumably lost individuals are called “vagrants”. Historically, they have v...
US GEOTRACES OCE: Measuring the distribution of stable carbon isotopes and estimating organic matter export rates
The goal of this project is to measure the concentration of the rare isotope of carbon (13C) present in the carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules dissolved in seawater of the South Pacifi...
Collaborative Research: Elements: SENSORY: Software Ecosystem for kNowledge diScOveRY - a data-driven framework for soil moisture applications
Tools for gathering soil moisture data (such as in situ soil sensors and satellites) have differing capabilities. In situ soil moisture data has fine-grained spatial and high tempo...
Collaborative Research: CDS&E: Theory and Methods for Implicit Molecular Solvation in Ligand and Ion Binding
Tyler Luchko of California State University, Northridge (CSUN) and David Case of Rutgers University are supported by an award from the Chemical Theory, Models and Computational Met...
CEDAR: Modification of Ionosphere by Lightning ElectroMagnetic Pulse (LEMP): Dependence on Lightning Type, Stroke Order, and Other Factors
Atmospheric lightning is a very familiar phenomenon seen during thunderstorms. However, it is not well-known that lightning strokes seen in the lower atmosphere could also travel u...
Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Award: Food And Social Complexity
The study of social inequality in past societies has helped archeologists understand the development of social structures. Earlier civilizations with sociopolitical hierarchies oft...
Collaborative Research: CAS: Carbene-Containing Ligands on Cu and Cu3N Nanocubes: Access to Stable and Selective Electrolysis for CO2 Reduction
With the support of the Chemical Catalysis program in the Division of Chemistry, Professors He and Ung at the University of Connecticut and Professor Sun at Brown University are de...
Nearshore plume dynamics: Airborne observations and modeling of surf-shelf exchange
This project advance understanding of the nearshore environment by examining possible modifications to rip currents by warm and cold waters along a coastal strip. The project will...
Examining the relationship between an increasingly carnivorous Homo erectus and Pleistocene mammal extinctions.
Modern humans have an unparalleled capacity to modify their ecosystems. When and how humans obtained this ability is uncertain. This project seeks to clarify the timing and nature...
Expanding Pathways for STEM Teacher Education to Better Serve Minnesota’s Diverse Student Populations
This project aims to serve the national need for building the capacity of secondary STEM education programs to recruit and train more secondary STEM teachers, especially those from...
Controlled symmetry breaking in semicrystalline polymer crystalsomes
NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY:Semicrystalline polymers constitute the large majority of polymeric materials in use today. While the basic symmetries of polymer crystals are not different f...
Friendship Networks and Socioeconomic Outcomes
Children who grow up in disadvantaged environments face substantial barriers to educational and economic success later in life. However, research has long shown that disadvantaged...
