NSF awards $37.9 million in grants to study biocomplexity in the environment

al Cycles (CBC), with 18 awards totaling $16.6 million; Genome-Enabled Environmental Science and Engineering (GENEN), with four awards totaling $7.2 million; Instrumentation Development for Environmental Activities (IDEA), with four awards totaling $5.4 million; and Materials Use: Science, Engineering, and Society (MUSES), with 11 awards totaling $1.2 million.

Research projects in the CNH sub-category include studies of: complex interactions among policies, people and panda habitat in the Wolong Nature Reserve landscape; coupled human and natural systems in Yellowstone; and human-climate interactions in a desert metropolis. Those in the CBC sub-category focus on: coupling of carbon and water cycles in a cold, dry ecosystem; ecosystem response to elevated arsenic concentrations; and biogeochemistry of iron and sulfate reduction in extreme acidic environments. GENEN awardees will conduct research in such areas as: the interaction of viral genomes with the marine environment; analysis of factors determining the ecological function and resilience of microbial communities; and development of methods linking genomic and ecological responses in a freshwater species. IDEA grantees will study ways to develop: an autonomous sensor for environmental water quality monitoring; multifunctional scanning nanoprobes for analysis of chemical processes at the interface of microbes and minerals in the environment; and an instrument for measurement of microbial enzyme activities in aquatic ecosystems. MUSES investigators will study: the industrial ecology of particulate materials; disposable and reusable textile materials in healthcare facilities; and defining sustainable uses for agricultural products.
