The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded $627,744 under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to The Washington University from July 2022 to June 2025. This Project Grant will support research aimed at developing a physical model to assess the sensitivity of mountain river channels to shifts in climate and associated hazards. Specifically, the grant will fund 1) analysis of high-resolution topography and sediment transport data to establish baseline variability and scale dependence based on climatic and geologic factors, 2) laboratory experiments to develop understanding of linkages between hydraulic perturbations, planform instability, and sediment transport thresholds, and 3) signal-to-noise framework pilot studies at sites impacted by documented perturbations to aid in determining vulnerability to erosion from climate change. Expected results will help researchers and engineers identify vulnerable river systems and inform next-generation river flood hazard forecasting models, in line with the Geosciences program's goal of expanding earth systems knowledge through basic research support. Project outcomes also include engaging STEM learning opportunities for underserved students.
