This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $338,559 to the University of Arkansas will fund a research project titled "Loops in Coastal Channel Networks: A Theoretical, Experimental, and Field-Based Investigation of their Morphodynamic Stability." The project aims to explore the stability of channel loops found in river delta networks, which existing theory suggests should be unstable. The research will use a three-pronged...
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...
This $550,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of data-driven physics-informed machine learning models to predict flood-induced flow and sediment dynamics. Over a four-year period ending June 2027, the grantee will improve existing high-fidelity numerical modeling tools and apply them to evaluate flood impacts on infrastructure stability in large waterways. They will then use simulation results to inform and...
This Project Grant award in the amount of $317,289 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside. The project aims to develop a new unified theory for the processes that prime river avulsions, where rivers jump out of their banks and carve a new path across the landscape, and test this theory using experiments and satellite observations. Specifically, the research will investigate the coupling...
