U.S. Department of Energy – Terrestrial Ecosystem Science Grant

The Terrestrial Ecosystem Science (TES) program in the Climate and
Environmental Sciences Division (CESD), Biological and Environmental Research
(BER) program of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), announces
its interest in receiving research applications seeking to improve the understanding
and representation of terrestrial ecosystems in ways that advance Earth system
model parameterizations and capabilities. This FOA will consider applications
that utilize and couple measurements, experiments, modeling and/or synthesis of
terrestrial ecosystems across a continuum from the subsurface to the top of the
vegetated canopy and from molecular to global scales. TES hereby announces its
interest in grant applications that advance the understanding and predictive
representation of terrestrial ecosystem in the following areas: 1) Interactions
and feedbacks between aboveground and belowground processes; and, 2) The role
of disturbance at the terrestrial-aquatic interface. Applicants are required to
pose their research applications in the context of representing terrestrial
ecosystem processes in ways that improve the predictability of Earth system
models.
