- This Project Grant award, valued at $317,289.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside. The award is for a collaborative research project investigating the coupling between superelevation and gradient advantage in river avulsions, a natural hazard where rivers jump out of their banks and create devastating floods. The project aims to develop a unified theory for the processes that prime...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $199,998 to Trustees of Dartmouth College to strengthen community resilience to river flood hazards in hilly and mountainous areas. The two-year project aims to: (1) build partnerships with local communities impacted by river floods, (2) co-develop critical research questions on flood erosion hazards and adaptation solutions, (3) develop a database of flood impacts and adaptation...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $306,062 Project Grant to Princeton University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research from April 2022 through March 2025. The research aims to advance understanding of cohesive sediment transport through multiscale experiments and numerical simulations. Specifically, the university will combine nano- to microscale imaging and molecular dynamics simulations, micro- to mesoscale millifluidic experiments and...
- Utah State University was awarded a three-year, $382,257 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research to quantify watershed dynamics in snow-dominated mountainous karst watersheds using hybrid physically based and deep learning models. The research funded through this award will strengthen understanding of integrated Earth systems through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences as...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program ($937,251) funds research into scaling climate connectivity and communities in streams. Led by Pennsylvania State University from March 2022 through December 2023, the grant supports a three-year field study across 10 regions in the southern, central, and western U.S. Researchers will collect streamflow and biological data to investigate differences between intermittent and perennial streams. The University...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a two-year, $174,000 Project Grant to researchers at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. The grant aims to experimentally study the dynamics of frozen, cohesive river banks to bridge pore-scale properties with channel-scale dynamics under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system, including the atmospheric,...
- This Project Grant award of $700,000 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is focused on improving computational models that describe the relationship between climate and streamflow. The project aims to address uncertainty in these models caused by the influence of human actions on the water cycle, with a specific focus on representing the impacts of dams, which control about 75% of annual runoff in the continental United States. The project will develop a...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $174,000 to fund research from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2024. The funding supports a study investigating the impact of flooding intensity on levee development and dynamics. The Geosciences program aims to advance fundamental knowledge and understanding of Earth's integrated systems through basic research in atmospheric, Earth, and ocean sciences. This award will further those goals by exploring...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $590,428 will fund research at Utah State University from July 2022 to June 2025 to develop a physical model characterizing the response of mountain river channels to climate change perturbations. The research aims to separate river response signals from inherent natural variability through three components: establishing a baseline variability model using high-resolution topography and sediment data; developing a physical linkage between hydraulic perturbations and sediment transport thresholds through laboratory experiments; and applying a signal-to-noise framework to sites with documented perturbations to determine vulnerability. Results will help identify vulnerable river systems and inform next-generation flood hazard forecasting models under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen the national scientific enterprise.
