Cooperative Agreement NA23OAR4590359
- 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...
- 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 $440,000 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program will assess the value of nature-based solutions (NBS) in reducing flood risks for at-risk communities in the Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB). The key products and services to be delivered include: Development of an integrated flood risk index map using the INFORM Risk Index framework to identify high-risk areas where NBS...
- This Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes (CFDA 15.805) program, aims to improve flood prediction and risk assessment capabilities across the United States. The $165,000 project, running from January 16, 2025 to January 15, 2026, will be carried out by Purdue University. The research team will develop a new computer model that integrates river data, rainfall patterns, city drainage systems, and land...
- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Water Resources Research Act (WRRA) Program (CFDA 15.805) provides $592,916 to the Nevada System of Higher Education's Desert Research Institute to develop a framework for predicting the impacts of wildfires on flood frequency in the western United States. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing a dynamic parameterization algorithm to represent wildfire-driven changes in hydrologic parameters,...
- This $199,998 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to advance the understanding of the disproportionate impacts of cascading flood events on vulnerable populations, particularly individuals with disabilities. The primary activities include engaging community partners, conducting stakeholder interviews and community listening tours, assessing the feasibility of existing and emerging flood resilience solutions, and mapping the...
- This two-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $180,000 to researchers at Arizona State University to study the present and future flood mitigation services of wetland infrastructure across scales in two cities. The researchers will collect data on and model the stormwater management functions of wetlands in Gresham, Oregon and Valdivia, Chile, which both have extensive wetland coverage. Functions to be examined include surface water...
- 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 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808), provides $239,278 to the University of Washington to conduct research focused on three main topics: Modeling flood hazards in river delta systems, with a focus on the Nooksack River and understanding the impacts of morphological changes on flooding under future sea level rise scenarios. Developing a conceptual framework for modeling compound flood hazards in...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.083 - Integrative Activities) will provide $299,789 to the Nevada System of Higher Education's Desert Research Institute (DRI) to develop new understanding of how Forecast-Informed Reservoir Operations (FIRO) can be used to improve ecosystem management while also meeting water supply, flood management, and other high priority objectives in the western United States. The project aims to identify and quantify potential...
FLOOD EXTENT AND INUNDATION MAPS ARE A COMMON WAY TO COMMUNICATE FLOODING RISK, BUT THERE IS LITTLE RESEARCH ON SUCH PRODUCTS' CONTENT, DESIGN, DISSEMINATION BEST PRACTICES, AND USE IN DECISION-MAKING. THE NURTURE NATURE CENTER PROPOSES TO CONDUCT A SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH PROJECT ABOUT FLOOD INUNDATION MAPPING PRODUCTS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE NATIONAL WATER MODEL, RIVER FORECAST CENTERS AND ADVANCED HYDROLOGIC PREDICTION SERVICE SYSTEMS. THIS RESEARCH WILL INVOLVE FOCUS GROUPS IN THE MID-ATLANTIC RIVER FORECAST CENTER AREA AND THE WEST GULF RIVER FORECAST CENTER AREA. PRE- AND POST- FOCUS GROUP SESSION SURVEYS WILL BE COLLECTED AND A FOLLOW-UP ONLINE SURVEY WILL PROVIDE INPUT ON POTENTIAL RECOMMENDED DESIGN AND USE OPTIONS. BOTH QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS WILL INFORM RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PRODUCT DESIGN AND DELIVERY AND ADDRESS QUESTIONS RELATED TO BARRIERS TO USE AND UNDERSTANDING. THE PROJECT WILL PROVIDE: 1) USE CASE DESCRIPTIONS FOR THE KINDS OF DECISIONS USERS WILL MAKE WI
