The Office of Science, under the Department of Energy, has recently announced the launch of the “Environmental System Science (ESS)” grant initiative, with the funding opportunity number DE-FOA-0003196. This ambitious program aims to foster an intricate, scale-aware, and predictive understanding of terrestrial ecosystems by focusing on their myriad interdependent processes, ranging from microbial to physical. Emphasizing the links between ecological, hydro-biogeochemical systems, and previously under-researched ecosystems, the ESS program seeks to bridge significant knowledge gaps across various spatial and temporal scales. With a dedicated fund allocation expected to reach up to $80 million, this initiative underscores the importance of sustainable research and development in the field of science and technology.
