This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $142,251 supports research examining the influence of critical zone processes on topography in Puerto Rico. Funded under the Integrative Activities program, the award will test hypotheses about how differences in bedrock geology and associated soil characteristics impact landslide occurrence, sediment grain sizes in rivers, and flood frequencies. Researchers from the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez and Colorado State University will conduct...
This $164,006 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research initiative to enhance community resilience to landslide hazards in underserved rural, isolated, and small communities (RISC) in southwestern Puerto Rico. The primary objectives are to: (1) establish new partnerships with federal and local stakeholders to facilitate data access and coordinated disaster response; (2) co-produce research questions and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $497,132 to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation for the development of a Collaborative Center for Landslides and Ground Failure GeoHazards under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The Center will serve as a hub focused on researching the causes and triggers of landslides as well as developing forecasting tools. Specific products and services include developing cyberinfrastructure...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program awarded a $498,356 project grant to the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) for the project "Controls on Ridgeline Profile Morphology." This 3-year grant, effective July 1, 2024, will fund research to improve the understanding of how ridgelines are shaped and eroded, which is key to predicting natural hazards like landslides, debris flows, and river flooding. The project will test three hypotheses about the controls on ridgeline...
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...
This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $260,937 supports research investigating the role of hillslope processes in modulating topographic change of upland drainage basins. Funded under the Geosciences program, which supports basic research in the earth sciences, the award will leverage field measurements, digital mapping, and theoretical modeling to examine how soil creep and landslides influence the movement of drainage divides over geologic timescales. Specifically, the...
This $199,052 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a planning project titled "CHIRRP: Engagement and Mitigation for Building Resilience Against Cascading Events in Puerto Rico." The project aims to collaborate with underserved communities in Puerto Rico to formulate research questions, conceptualize actionable solutions, and co-produce a research program that advances scientific knowledge, builds community capacity, and...
Arizona State University was awarded a two-year, $401,503 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research quantifying the influence of fluvial thresholds on erosion rates and landscape morphology in Hawaii. The University will lead efforts to advance understanding of landscape response to climate change through studying evolving Hawaiian landforms. Researchers will examine landscapes across islands and rainfall patterns...
This $162,243 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at the University of Central Florida (UCF) to advance predictive understanding of landscape evolution and erosional extremes under changing climatic conditions. The key objectives are to: (1) extract local geomorphic transport laws driving landscape evolution using large-scale experimental data and novel physics-informed artificial intelligence methods; (2)...
This five-year, $475,451 National Science Foundation project grant in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research examining how topography preserves details of the seismic cycle. The principal investigator will develop computational landscape simulations under varying tectonic and climatic conditions to identify topographic signatures of the seismic cycle. They will then assess whether these signatures are recognizable in natural landscapes with independent constraints on seismic...
