This $166,266 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop integrated drought management policies for the Upper Colorado River Basin. The researchers will evaluate the economic and environmental impacts of droughts on agricultural and urban communities under current water management practices. They will then develop and analyze alternative plans that coordinate forecast-informed...
This $420,167 National Science Foundation project grant funds research at the University of Virginia to develop integrated drought management policies for the Upper Colorado River Basin. The goal is to evaluate potential economic, environmental and social impacts of droughts under current water management practices versus forecast-informed coordination of water markets and critical infrastructure operations. The research team will analyze impacts using regression models and develop an...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $148,732 Project Grant under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees) to create a new model for improving water sustainability under extreme droughts. The project will quantify the drought-water security relationship and apply the approach to improve decision-making using seasonal forecasts and stakeholder information. The model results will be distributed to user groups currently coping...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $745,594 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Arkansas System, specifically the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR), for the project "DISES-EX: Climate Resilience and Risk Aversion within the Integrated Dynamics of a Hydro-Agricultural System." This 3-year project, starting January 1, 2025, will explore how farmers' risk preferences influence their water use strategies during droughts,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $376,120 Project Grant titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GCR: SCALING-UP TRANSFORMATIVE ADAPTATION THROUGH SOCIO-AGROCLIMATOLOGY" to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). The grant, funded through the NSF Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program, supports research to develop a new "socio-agroclimatology" approach linking social processes that influence farmer management choices with land-atmosphere interactions and...
This two-year, $200,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research at California State University, Long Beach to advance understanding of drought characteristics in snowy regions. The grantee will investigate the propagation of different types of drought across water cycle components, with a focus on snowpack-dependent areas in the western U.S. The research aims to quantify the rates at which droughts spread between snow,...
The University of Alabama was awarded a $580,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083). The grant will support the development of a graduate training program focused on improving hydrologic forecasting and decision-making through research translation and operational partnerships. The program aims to train 115 Masters and PhD students over five years, including 28 funded trainees, in...
This $220,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will fund the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop new mathematical tools and computational methods for designing efficient and fair water markets. The project aims to address challenges in the sustainable and equitable management of groundwater resources, which is critical for climate change adaptation in drought-affected regions. The research will...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $1,800,000 to the University of California, Davis to analyze the role of decentralized investment partnerships in developing aquifer storage infrastructure that promotes economic productivity, environmental benefits, and enhances community access to safe and reliable drinking water under a changing climate. The research will integrate political and institutional feedbacks into...
