The National Science Foundation awarded a three-year $336,534 Project Grant to the University of Colorado Boulder under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research on the role of extreme rainstorms and hydroclimatic regimes on arid escarpment retreat and sub-cliff slope evolution. The research funded through this award will strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences as outlined under the program's purpose. Specifically, the University of Colorado Boulder will work with partners to decipher how heavy precipitation events and changing hydrologic conditions impact the degradation of steep cliff faces and erosion of adjacent slopes in arid environments over the grant period from July 2021 through June 2024. Findings from this research could provide insight on landscape responses to extreme weather and help inform management of erosion risks.
