NASA-MSU Awards

NASA-MSU Professional Enhancement Awards

With support from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Michigan State University (MSU), NASA-MSU Professional Enhancement Awards are given to students, postdocs, and junior researchers (e.g., assistant professors) to cover expenses associated with attending the meeting of  IALE-North America  (North America Regional Association of the International Association for Landscape Ecology), which will be held in Athens, Georgia, April 26-30, 2026. This will be the 25th anniversary of the NASA-MSU Program.

The application materials include a cover letter, application form, abstract, resume/CV, and budget. The abstract should also have been submitted to the IALE-NA meeting website. Applications are judged based on the merits of the applicants’ abstracts, financial needs, and professional backgrounds and goals.

Presentations (oral or poster) should focus on telecoupling (environmental-socioeconomic interactions over distances, such as human and animal migration, species dispersal, species invasion, disease spread, sound/noise transmission, spread of pollutants and wastes, trade of goods and products, flows of ecosystem services, environmental and hydrological flows, foreign investment, technology transfer, water transfer, and tourism) and/or metacoupling. Topics may include applications of the telecoupling framework or metacoupling framework to address issues across landscapes or coupled human and natural systems (e.g., dynamics, pattern, process, structure, function, and sustainability). For more information about coupled human and natural systems, please see: Science and Ambio.

Awardees will also have opportunities to interact with some leading scientists and other meeting attendees, including a special dinner on April 27, and telecoupling / metacoupling workshop #4  (https://www.ialena.org/workshops-2026.html ) and symposium #5 (https://www.ialena.org/symposia-2026.html).

Endorse STF for portable photosynthesis systems

Hi all,
The Plant Ecophysiology and Modeling lab has prepared a Student Technology Fee (STF) application for new portable photosynthesis systems (LI-COR 6800), which would be available for both research and teaching. You can endorse the proposal here by voting to show support for receiving the funding!
The previous version of the machine, LI6400, is no longer being serviced by the company, and they are offering a trade-in discount for the newer version, which we are hoping to take advantage of. The LI6800 is much easier to operate (touch screen, build in warm up tests, much faster for CO2 response curve etc.) so we’re pitching this as both a great research tool across SEFS, BIOL and other plant labs, as well as for increasing student engagement when teaching physiology in courses. We’ve also requested a small plant chamber and conifer chamber to increase the applicability of the new machines across research topics in the department and university. Let me know if there are any questions and thanks for the support!
Cheers,
Amelia
