This federal Cooperative Agreement award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) program (CFDA 11.012) provides $236,344.00 to Texas A&M University to repair and replace ocean observation assets damaged by Hurricane Ian in the Gulf of Mexico. The primary goal is to recover the observational capacity lost or compromised by the hurricane's impact. The award, effective June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2026, will support...

This National Science Foundation Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) award provides $773,810 to The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) to develop an integrated optical sensing system for autonomous underwater vehicles. The project aims to enable adaptive sampling and characterization of marine particles, including living and detrital organic and inorganic material, to improve the understanding of biogeochemical processes in the ocean. The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley will...

This federal Project Grant award of $500,000 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469) will support a pilot project led by Texas State University to develop an environmental forensics approach for understanding and predicting fecal bacterial contamination in the Texas coastal zone. The project aims to analyze a suite of water quality parameters, including traditional indicators like...

This Cooperative Agreement award, totaling $4,885,000, was provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 11.012). The award supports the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System (GCOOS) in enhancing and expanding its regional association's equitable data service delivery to underserved coastal communities in the Gulf of Mexico. The project aims to leverage GCOOS's existing infrastructure,...

This Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), under the CFDA 11.431 Climate and Atmospheric Research program, provides $240,084 to Texas A&M University for a 3-year collaborative research project focused on improving climate prediction capabilities. The key objectives are to advance the understanding of how increased model resolution in climate prediction systems can improve forecasting of sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific and...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $875,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Office for Coastal Management (CFDA 11.473) Federal Grant Program to the Texas General Land Office (GLO). The funding will build the GLO's capacity to implement coastal resilience projects and programs within Texas' coastal counties. Specifically, the GLO will develop a sediment placement database and dashboard to inform state and local policy-makers on sediment resource management....

This $900,000 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Office for Coastal Management (CFDA 11.473) program will build the capacity of the Texas General Land Office's (GLO) federally-approved Coastal Management Program. Specifically, the funding will be used to enhance the modeling that feeds into the Texas Coastal Resilience Master Plan, a comprehensive statewide planning effort that prioritizes natural infrastructure restoration...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of International Science and Engineering supports the implementation of a deep ocean observing strategy under the ACCELNET-IMPLEMENTATION: IMPLEMENTING A DEEP OCEAN OBSERVING STRATEGY (IDOOS) program. Awarded on October 1, 2021 for $1,992,928 over four years, this grant funds the University of Texas at Austin to lead efforts to strengthen international partnerships and advance scientific discovery through deep ocean...

The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $5,000,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469) to Louisiana State University (LSU). The 5-year project, starting September 1, 2023, aims to acquire, install, test, and operate a total of eight high frequency radar (HFR) systems along the northern Gulf of Mexico coast. This system will provide real-time information on the surface current...

This Project Grant award from the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Meteorologic and Hydrologic Modernization Development program (CFDA 11.467) provides $277,637.00 to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees) to continue development of tsunami inundation mapping activities for the Gulf Coast region. During the award period from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2024, the project will focus on producing two sets of inundation maps...
