Spruce and Peatlands Responses Under Changing Environments (SPRUCE) site is the 8.1-ha S1 bog, a Picea mariana [black spruce] – Sphagnum spp. ombrotrophic bog forest in northern Minnesota, 40 km north of Grand Rapids, in the USDA Forest Service Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF). Two field research...

Some of the most rapid environmental changes on the planet are experienced in high-latitude regions. These changes affect all Earth system components, including the ocean, atmosphere, cryosphere, and marine and terrestrial ecosystems, and have both regional and global implications. The main...

Last updated on 2024-02-11T22:41:43+00:00 by LN Anderson Omics-LHV Profiling of Host Interferon-Stimulated Response to Virus Infection Background The human host Interferon ( IFN ) alpha, beta, and gamma participate in the body's natural immune response to lethal virus infection and disease. The...

Accurate characterization of the global downward shortwave (SW) and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is fundamental for Earth system modeling and global change research. Combined with a machine-learning method, we used the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) data onboard the Deep...

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a Gram-negative diplococcus that is responsible for the sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea, a high morbidity disease in the United States and worldwide. Over the last several years N. gonorrhoeae strains resistant to antibiotics used to treat this infection have begun...

The Biomedical Resilience & Readiness in Adverse Operating Environments (BRAVE) Project develop new capabilities to improve health and performance of first responders in adverse operating environments common to national defense. The BRAVE project analyze biological samples, collect physiological...

The long-term goals of this scientific focus area (SFA) are to develop flexible and extensible modeling capabilities that capture the dynamic multiscale interactions among climate, energy, water, land, socioeconomics, critical infrastructure, and other sectors and to use these capabilities to study...

Predictive Phenomics is addressing the grand challenge of understanding and predicting phenotype by identifying the molecular basis of function and enable function-driven design and control of biological systems .

The Human Islet Research Network (HIRN) is a large consortia with many research projects focused on understanding how beta cells are lost in type 1 diabetics (T1D) with a goal of finding how to protect against or replace the loss of functional beta cells. The consortia has multiple branches of...

Machine learning is a core technology that is rapidly advancing within type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Our Human Islet Research Network (HIRN) grant is studying early cellular response initiating β cell stress in T1D through the generation of heterogenous low- and high-throughput molecular...
