This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $619,990.00, was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Federal Grant Program CFDA 15.805 - Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes. The grant funds a 3-year project led by Oregon State University, in collaboration with Portland State University, to develop an advanced hydrologic modeling framework for the Willamette River Basin. The project aims to enhance flood resilience and water resource management by...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $300,000 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) to strengthen urban stormwater infrastructure and improve water quality management in Chicago. The project leverages citizen science approaches to collect hydrological data and engage the public, while also developing a training program to prepare the next generation of engineers, scientists, and advocates to address challenges in...
This $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to address the need for real-time, quantitative flood data to support urban flood mitigation efforts. The primary objectives are to: (1) develop data processing tools to prepare a flood sensor dataset for actionable use; (2) assess stakeholder needs for integrating flood data into existing information systems; and (3) co-identify research questions and co-develop tools to aid flood...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $350,000 to William Marsh Rice University to investigate how engaging coastal communities in stormwater management can enhance flood resilience. The research explores two interventions: increasing civic engagement in infrastructure design, implementation, and maintenance processes (infrastructural...
This $999,732 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will develop tools and solutions to mitigate the effects of compounding flood hazards in coastal communities. The project will partner with local organizations in San Juan, Puerto Rico to use advanced computer models and affordable flood sensors to improve flood modeling and develop more resilient flood mitigation strategies. Key deliverables include resilient infrastructure...
This five-year, $460,399 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research and education initiatives focused on improving flood hazard assessments. The principal investigator at Northeastern University will establish a long-term floodplain sedimentation observatory and develop hydraulic models to better understand landscape controls on alluvial sedimentation patterns. This work will help constrain flood hazard estimates through...
The National Science Foundation awarded $712,190 to Arizona State University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the project "CAS-CLIMATE: A NOVEL PROCESS-DRIVEN METHOD FOR FLOOD FREQUENCY ANALYSIS BASED ON MIXED DISTRIBUTIONS." The award period is from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The project will develop a new approach to flood frequency analysis that incorporates the effects of multiple physical mechanisms leading to flood generation. Researchers will identify...
This $259,328 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Tulane University to develop novel methods for real-time streamflow estimation and forecasting. The University will integrate direct measurements with numerical models to more accurately capture short-term flood wave propagation effects and seasonal impacts of riparian vegetation changes. Researchers will combine experimental, data-driven, and physics-based modeling to enable...
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 federal Project Grant award for $293,492.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program aims to enhance rain-on-snow (ROS) flood forecasting through advancing hydrologic modeling at the community scale. The project, led by Montana State University, collaborates with the University of Iowa's Iowa Flood Center to improve ROS flood prediction capabilities, which are crucial for reducing loss of life and economic damage in mountainous areas like...

This two-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $180,000 to researchers at Arizona State University to study the present and future flood mitigation services of wetland infrastructure across scales in two cities. The researchers will collect data on and model the stormwater management functions of wetlands in Gresham, Oregon and Valdivia, Chile, which both have extensive wetland coverage. Functions to be examined include surface water storage, infiltration, and plant transpiration. A stormwater management model will be used to estimate system performance during typical and extreme storms in the present day and as predicted for 2100. Researchers will work directly with communities and flood risk managers in each city to identify past flood risk areas, educate on future risks, and incorporate lessons into flood risk plans. This mixed methodology study seeks to provide a holistic understanding of how urban wetlands mitigate pluvial flood risk at the city scale under current and future climate conditions.
