The National Science Foundation awarded a $220,002 project grant under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Miami Rosenstiel Marine for collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES: WHERE, WHY, AND HOW POLICIES HAVE SHAPED FLOOD EXPOSURE OUTCOMES." The three-year project beginning September 2021 will examine how and why floodplain management policies have shaped flood risk outcomes in different...
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 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will conduct collaborative research on combined waves and currents over multi-scale topography from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024 through a $313,734 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. Under the grant, UNC-Chapel Hill will investigate boundary layer dynamics and parameterization to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system, as outlined in the objectives of the NSF's Geosciences program...
This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $399,622 supports research into the effects of chronic flooding on coastal migration in North Carolina. Led by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the project will deploy novel sensor networks to detect floods of all sizes at high spatial resolution in identified flood-prone coastal areas. Household surveys and administrative records will provide data on migration intentions, behaviors, and socioeconomic...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded a $274,573 Project Grant to the University of Alabama Office for Sponsored Programs Division under CFDA Program #47.041 Engineering. The award, which runs from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2028, will fund research to develop a resilience assessment framework that tracks the accumulated costs of nuisance floods as an indicator of sea-level rise. The project aims to use this information to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded a $232,720 Project Grant to the University of Michigan Office of Research and Sponsored Projects to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: UNDERSTANDING URBAN RESILIENCE TO PLUVIAL FLOODS USING REDUCED-ORDER MODELING." The award period runs from February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2025. Under this award, the University of Michigan will conduct research to improve understanding...
This Project Grant award, made by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $419,900 to North Carolina State University to characterize the microbial risks associated with tidal flooding caused by sea-level rise. The project aims to: Measure indicator organisms, pathogens, and microbial sources in tidal floodwaters to assess contamination sources and risks to public health. Determine the fate of contaminated floodwaters in adjoining recreational waters...
The University of California Irvine received a $670,000 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation. The award is part of NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) and will support research into the "Dynamics and Perceptions of Ultrahazardous Flooding Across the Wildland Urban Interface" from August 2021 through July 2024. The grant funding will enable UC Irvine researchers to study how flooding risks are understood...
This Project Grant award of $300,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to develop fast flood modeling technologies that can improve the design and resilience of infrastructure systems. The objective is to create flood simulation capabilities that significantly speed up assessments of flood risks and infrastructure responses, while maintaining accuracy. This high-risk, interdisciplinary research project at the University of Miami's...
This $114,675 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a 3-year collaborative research study on the temporal dynamics of household flood adjustment behaviors. The research team at the University of North Texas will employ a longitudinal survey design to understand the mechanisms that lead individuals to adopt flood hazard adjustment behaviors over time. The study will introduce an experimental intervention...
