Cooperative Agreement G15AC00426

This $134,207 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to transform the scientific community's understanding and forecasting of coastline changes in response to shifting storm climates and sea-level rise. The project will develop new techniques to downscale global climate model outputs to produce detailed forecasts of the winds, waves, and water levels affecting specific coastlines, such as the Carolina...

This $499,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research investigating the impacts of climate change on coastal communities in an urban environment. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award (August 2024 - July 2027) include: Analysis of the alignment between water infrastructure, policies, and practices with emerging climate and environmental challenges such as...

This $1,745,708 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program supports a collaborative research project titled "Risks, Impacts, & Strategies for Coastal Communities: Advancing Convergent Science to Support Climate Change Adaptation & Resilience." The project team, led by the University of Delaware, will work with researchers and community stakeholders across three EPSCoR jurisdictions (Delaware, Rhode Island,...

This National Science Foundation project grant of $179,999 will support computational modeling to characterize uncertainty in future coastal risk through August 2024. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, the award to Rochester Institute of Technology aims to examine how coastal areas can mitigate damages from sea-level change and coastal flooding. The grantee will develop software and conduct computer model experiments to assess uncertainty in geophysical and...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $813,701 to the University of Rhode Island to conduct research on climate change adaptation and resilience for coastal communities. The project, titled "RISKS, IMPACTS, & STRATEGIES FOR COASTAL COMMUNITIES: ADVANCING CONVERGENT SCIENCE TO SUPPORT CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION & RESILIENCE," aims to empower affected communities to make effective 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 $500,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will work with California coastal communities to produce research and adaptation strategies that address resiliency in the face of increasing coastal flooding, storm intensity, and storm frequency. The University of California, Berkeley will lead the project, which aims to: 1) develop scenarios for future shorelines, 2) identify knowledge gaps, and 3) evaluate technical assistance tools and...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $431,197 Cooperative Agreement under the Cooperative Institute (Inter-Agency Funded Activities) program (CFDA 11.405) to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) to investigate the mechanisms of interannual-to-decadal dynamic sea-level variability along the U.S. East Coast. The research aims to understand how changes in the North Atlantic Western Boundary Current system, including...

The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $207,189 Cooperative Agreement to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), which manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431). The project aims to analyze state-of-the-art global ocean model simulations to quantify improvements in forecasting coastal sea level variability over seasonal to annual timescales....

This $398,891 Disaster Resilience Research Grant (DRRG) project from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) explores participatory transformation of barrier islands to enhance coastal resilience. The key objectives are to: Identify "acceptable" locations for allowing sections of barrier islands to naturally erode and "return to nature" to mitigate flood risks at nearby communities. Quantify reductions in flood risk from these "extreme...
