This Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the Water Desalination Research and Development program (CFDA 15.506) aims to leverage the University of Minnesota's expertise in understanding spatial and temporal temperature variation and brine evaporation behavior. The $244,342 award, with a period of performance from October 2023 to September 2025, seeks to confirm that altering the temperature of brine solutions can make it favorable for...

This Project Grant award for $388,527, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research on how salt affects the photodegradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic ecosystems. The project, led by Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC), will investigate the role of salt in photochemical reactions involving DOM, which plays key ecological roles in energy transfer, metal binding, and interactions with pollutants. Experiments...

The U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $557,406.76 Cooperative Agreement to William Marsh Rice University under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560). The goal of this 18-month project, with an estimated completion date of September 2025, is to further evaluate the effectiveness of boron nitride-based photocatalytic materials for the destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in brackish groundwater and reverse osmosis...

This federal Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Cooperative Institute (Inter-Agency Funded Activities) program (CFDA 11.405), will provide $180,000.00 from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025 to the University of Washington to explore scientific and technological methodologies to improve the performance of the Salish Sea and Columbia River Operational Forecast System (SSCOFS).
