NSF Water Sustainability and Climate (WSC)

Research proposals under the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Water Sustainability and Climate program are now being accepted. 

Water Sustainability and Climate Program (WSC): One of the most urgent challenges facing the world today is to ensure an adequate supply and quality of water in light of both burgeoning human needs and increasing climate variability and change. Despite the importance of water to life on Earth, there are major gaps in our basic understanding of water availability, quality and dynamics, and the impact of both human activity and a changing and variable climate on the water system. The goal of the Water Sustainability and Climate (WSC) solicitation is to enhance the understanding and predict the interactions between the water system and land use changes (including agriculture, managed forest and rangeland systems), the built environment, ecosystem function and services and climate change/variability through place-based research and integrative models. 

Deadline: September 10, 2013
