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 $178,054 Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program, aims to understand, predict, and prepare for flash flooding impacts in vulnerable Appalachian communities under climate change. The project brings together an interdisciplinary team from the University of Louisville, West Virginia University, University of Kentucky, Marshall University, and Eastern Kentucky University to advance hydrologic research, facilitate community-engaged approaches, and develop models and technology to enhance resilience in flood-prone areas. Key activities include catchment-scale hydrologic modeling, on-the-ground data collection, regional flooding analysis, and engagement with community partners to co-create tailored solutions. This collaborative initiative seeks to provide critical insights on how climate change affects flash flooding in heavily disturbed landscapes, while also guiding over 500 underrepresented students towards STEM careers in the Appalachian region.
