This $611,393 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to North Carolina State University (NC State) will support research to improve global mapping and monitoring of surface water and flooding dynamics using satellite remote sensing data. The project aims to leverage data from Landsat 8, Sentinel-1, and Sentinel-2 satellites to develop machine learning algorithms that can more accurately detect ephemeral flooding, inundated vegetation, and small water bodies,...

Follum Hydrologic Solutions, LLC was awarded a definitive contract valued at $374,850 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center to conduct research and development of multi-model flood mapping for use in continental-scale forecasting frameworks. This award was made under the 2022 ERDC Broad Agency Announcement seeking proposals across various topic areas including coastal and river engineering, environmental remediation, and information technology....

This is a $80,000.00 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University (OSU) to develop methods for estimating floodplain topography using remote sensing data. The goal is to improve flood modeling and hazard mapping by addressing the limitations of existing global digital elevation models (DEMs), which often lack the detailed terrain information needed for accurate flood inundation predictions. OSU will explore three approaches: data...

This federal contract award was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to conduct research on quantifying flood risk from cyclones. The $119,998.62 contract is focused on improving flood risk assessment for Boston, Massachusetts by using hydrodynamic simulations to investigate changes in extratropical cyclone climatology, recalculating present-day flood exceedance probabilities, and investigating the effects of past and future...

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers awarded a $440,081.12 fixed price level of effort delivery order contract to Limno-Tech Inc. of Vicksburg, Mississippi. The contract supports the development and application of predictive mathematical models to solve complex environmental challenges through multi-disciplinary integration of science and engineering.
