This Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 under the Geographic Programs - South Florida Geographic Initiatives Program (CFDA 66.484) provides $403,895 to Florida International University (FIU) to conduct research on modeling and analyzing airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data in the Everglades and study saltwater intrusion into groundwater across the southern Everglades over the past 30 years. The project aims to estimate where groundwater saltwater intrusion will occur in the next 30 years. The key activities include utilizing electromagnetic induction principles to assess subsurface conductors and inform managers on implementing Everglades restoration activities, water management practices, and mitigating sea level rise. The anticipated deliverables include evaluating the Everglades National Park's fresh marshes' ability to transition to saltwater or brackish marshes, determining the extent of groundwater usage for water supply well recharging, and assessing the rate of sea level rise. The direct beneficiaries of this research project are citizens and residents of the State of Florida.
