Cooperative Agreement NNX12AF50A

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $700,000 in funding from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027 to Cornell University to develop computational models that describe the relationship between climate and streamflow, with a focus on improving the representation of human impacts, particularly dam operations, on the hydrologic cycle. The project aims to characterize the structural uncertainty associated with different dam...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, awarded under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program, provides $376,029 to San Diego State University Foundation to synthesize global hydrologic process knowledge. The project aims to unify field hydrology studies into a comprehensive database, enabling the application of big data approaches to discover emergent patterns linking landscape organization and hydrologic function. Key activities include: Developing a relational database to...

This $599,998 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to estimate the emergence of anthropogenic climate change signals in snow water resource metrics in mountainous regions. Led by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, the project will use an innovative modeling framework including a large ensemble climate model and process-based hydrological modeling. It aims to strengthen understanding of when and how much climate change...

This $747,844 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), will develop a cybertraining curriculum focused on climate, water and environmental sustainability. Led by Purdue University, the collaborative project will create three levels of curriculum—foundational, expert, and developer—to train students, educators, and professionals on integrating and analyzing open...

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...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $400,000 Cooperative Agreement under its Climate and Atmospheric Research program (CFDA 11.431) to the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. The purpose of this two-year award is to develop the Climate Adaptive Drought Planning (CADP) platform, a decision-support system that will integrate diverse datasets on water infrastructure, supply, demand, and socioeconomic trends to provide actionable information to stakeholders...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $145,352 to the University Enterprises, Inc. at Sacramento State University to develop a diverse hydrology workforce through an undergraduate hydrological research experience in a coastal California watershed. The project will engage sophomore and transfer students across three California State University campuses in a year-long learning...

The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), has been awarded a $430,000 Cooperative Agreement by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements (CFDA 15.560) program. The award will leverage UCAR's technical and hydrologic expertise to develop an online portal and data hub that enhances public understanding of hydrology and water management across...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $281,037 to develop online and classroom training materials for careers in the weather, water and climate industry. The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research and the National Center for Atmospheric Research's Research Application Lab will collaborate with private industry subject matter experts and atmospheric science...

This $2,951,090 Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), supports an interdisciplinary collaboration between six institutions to study the disproportionate impacts of climate change and flooding on socially vulnerable communities in the U.S. Gulf region. The project aims to co-generate information on the causes and history of social vulnerabilities, co-analyze and model past and future climate extremes and impacts...
