Northeastern University received a three-year Project Grant award of $353,666 from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will support collaborative research to conduct morphodynamic simulations of coastal storms and overwash in order to characterize back-barrier lake stratigraphies. The research aims to strengthen fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system, consistent with the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The funding will allow Northeastern University researchers to work with partners to develop numerical models simulating storm impacts and sediment transport, with the results helping to interpret the geologic record in coastal lake deposits.
