This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering) provides $499,653.00 to Rowan University to investigate how sea-level rise and coastal flooding impact the ability of local communities to plan for and adapt to extreme coastal events. The project aims to inform local and regional policymakers and planners responsible for economic planning and land use decisions by revealing the spatial and temporal patterns of flooding impact on municipal tax bases and...
This Project Grant award of $300,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to develop fast flood modeling technologies that can improve the design and resilience of infrastructure systems. The objective is to create flood simulation capabilities that significantly speed up assessments of flood risks and infrastructure responses, while maintaining accuracy. This high-risk, interdisciplinary research project at the University of Miami's...
This $499,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research investigating the impacts of climate change on coastal communities in an urban environment. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award (August 2024 - July 2027) include: Analysis of the alignment between water infrastructure, policies, and practices with emerging climate and environmental challenges such as...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $220,002 project grant under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Miami Rosenstiel Marine for collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES: WHERE, WHY, AND HOW POLICIES HAVE SHAPED FLOOD EXPOSURE OUTCOMES." The three-year project beginning September 2021 will examine how and why floodplain management policies have shaped flood risk outcomes in different...
This Project Grant award of $150,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) is focused on increasing the resilience of North Slope Alaskan Arctic coastal communities threatened by coastal erosion, flooding, and ground subsidence. The project creates high-resolution, reliable hazard risk assessment and forecasting tools for disaster management and community planning. It involves a collaboration between Penn State University, the University of Alaska...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports research on climate adaptation of housing infrastructure in coastal communities. The $171,674 award to The Johns Hopkins University will develop a novel mathematical framework to analyze interactions between human behavior, built environments, and natural hazards in order to identify pathways for communities to become more resilient to climate change. The project aims...
This $398,891 Disaster Resilience Research Grant (DRRG) project from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) explores participatory transformation of barrier islands to enhance coastal resilience. The key objectives are to: Identify "acceptable" locations for allowing sections of barrier islands to naturally erode and "return to nature" to mitigate flood risks at nearby communities. Quantify reductions in flood risk from these "extreme...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will develop a new decision-support toolkit to help coastal communities in Greater Miami, Florida visualize, test, and prioritize localized climate adaptation and mitigation strategies to improve resilience to sea-level rise. The $196,402 award, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026, will establish researcher-community partnerships to co-produce modeling tools that examine the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $400,000 to Clemson University will develop a next-generation flood computing system called "FLOODENGINE" to improve flood forecasting and analytics. The project will leverage smart cyber-physical systems (SCPS) capabilities to optimize data gathering and processing, develop a physics-based deep learning model, and promote knowledge transfer through innovative networks. The goal is to...
This Project Grant award of $998,696.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a project at Northeastern University to evaluate how communities have responded to recent floods and develop new tools to help build resilience to flooding hazards. The project aims to enhance the resilience of floodplain communities by increasing understanding of the causes and projections of riverine flooding at the local level. The researchers will collaborate with...
