This $428,965 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Weather and Air Quality Research program (CFDA 11.459) aims to develop and test a method for improving subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) precipitation outlooks for the contiguous United States. The project, led by Utah State University, will apply a new weather regime-Gaussian mixture model (WR-GMM) framework to NOAA's Climate Prediction Center's dynamical forecast outputs to produce...
This $1,442,344 Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Cooperative Institute (Inter-Agency Funded Activities) program (CFDA 11.405), aims to improve the National Weather Service's (NWS) flood risk communication to diverse communities. The project, led by the University of Oklahoma, will collect longitudinal data and conduct analysis to better align weather services with user needs, with a focus on compound flooding events....
This $265,289 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Cooperative Institute (Inter-Agency Funded Activities) program (CFDA 11.405) will support a project to provide improved meteorological data and analysis methods for understanding the impacts of extreme precipitation on infrastructure in New York City. The primary awardee, the University of Maryland, College Park, will use advanced data and modeling techniques to quantify the...
This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Water Resources Research Act (WRRA) Program (CFDA 15.805), aims to improve flood prediction and risk assessment capabilities across large geographic areas. The $165,000 award to Purdue University, effective from January 16, 2025 to January 15, 2026, will support the development of a new computer model that integrates river data, rainfall patterns, city drainage systems, and land characteristics to...
This Project Grant award of $500,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is funding the development of a transformative AI-based framework for generating high-fidelity, physically consistent, and uncertainty-calibrated geoscience data. The goal is to overcome limitations in observational infrastructure and computational cost to produce enhanced datasets that can improve decision-making for disaster preparedness, emergency response, and infrastructure...
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,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $200,000 from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026 to Clemson University to build collaborations and capacity to address climate hazards in the Southeast U.S. The project will bring together stakeholders in South Carolina to coordinate efforts and increase resilience to Earth system hazards, such as heat stress, flooding, and pollutant exposures. It will facilitate meetings to engage...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $200,000 to New York University (NYU) to develop collaborative partnerships and co-identify research questions aimed at using flood sensor data to better understand and predict urban flooding, as well as implement community-level actions toward adaptation and mitigation. The key objectives are to: (1) develop and optimize data processing tools to prepare the flood dataset for actionable...
