This Cooperative Agreement award, with a total funding amount of $580,797, was granted by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RII FEC: THE FLOODING IN APPALACHIAN STREAMS AND HEADWATERS INITIATIVE: MITIGATING IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND FLASH FLOODING IN APPALACHIA", will integrate research across civil engineering, environmental...
This $673,418 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at North Carolina State University to improve understanding of monthly flood dynamics over the southeastern and south-central United States. Specifically, the university will quantify shifts in flood climatology, identify moisture delivery pathways for floods, and attribute sources of modulation for floods' spatiotemporal variability. Researchers will examine historical...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $199,998 to Trustees of Dartmouth College to strengthen community resilience to river flood hazards in hilly and mountainous areas. The two-year project aims to: (1) build partnerships with local communities impacted by river floods, (2) co-develop critical research questions on flood erosion hazards and adaptation solutions, (3) develop a database of flood impacts and adaptation...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) project grant, awarded to Trustees of Dartmouth College in the amount of $161,611, examines how rural communities in the United States respond to overlapping disasters of inland riverine flooding and other ecological stressors. The project aims to study the processes of response, recovery, and mitigation work in these river valleys, focusing on how communication, responsibility, and collective community assistance...
This five-year, $460,399 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research and education initiatives focused on improving flood hazard assessments. The principal investigator at Northeastern University will establish a long-term floodplain sedimentation observatory and develop hydraulic models to better understand landscape controls on alluvial sedimentation patterns. This work will help constrain flood hazard estimates through...
This $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a Research Coordination Network (RCN) focused on "Catalyzing Flood Justice in the USA." The project aims to examine the social, economic, and environmental factors contributing to unequal flood risks and recovery outcomes, particularly for communities of color and low socioeconomic status. Key activities include hosting workshops, fostering collaboration, and...
This $756,237 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a collaborative research project titled "Risks, Impacts, & Strategies for Coastal Communities: Advancing Convergent Science to Support Climate Change Adaptation & Resilience." The project is led by the College of Charleston in partnership with the University of Delaware, University of Rhode Island, University of South Carolina, and other...
This $150,939 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) aims to advance research capacity, interdisciplinary collaboration, and scientific literacy to mitigate the impacts of climate change-driven flash flooding in vulnerable rural communities across the Appalachian region.
The 4-year project will integrate engineering, environmental science, and social science to: 1) improve understanding of flash flood controls in disturbed and forested stream systems, 2) facilitate community-engaged research to increase resilience and flood technology adoption, and 3) develop a community-led science model for advancing flash flood knowledge. Key outcomes will include new hydrologic models, strategic sensor networks, regional flood analyses, and co-created solutions tailored to community needs, serving as a model for resilience planning in vulnerable areas across the U.S.
