The University of Southern California was awarded a $786,162 project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2026.

The grant will support collaborative research to develop capacity for planning and adapting to riverbank erosion and its consequences in the Yukon River Basin. Specifically, the University of Southern California will work with partners to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes related to riverbank erosion. This will include expanding fundamental knowledge through basic research into atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences influencing riverbank stability and erosion patterns.

Findings will aid efforts under the Geosciences program to enhance the national scientific enterprise and increase comprehension of interactions within the Earth system. By improving prediction of riverbank erosion impacts, the research also seeks to help communities in the Yukon River Basin prepare for and manage risks from shifting river channels and shorelines.
