This $150,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Texas A&M University examining decision-making around evolving coastal flood risks. The grantee will develop an integrated framework combining risk modeling, economic sorting models, and social behavior models to understand how residential location choices are impacted by changing flood conditions and flood control infrastructure investments. This will quantify changes in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $499,653 to Rowan University to investigate the impacts of sea-level rise and coastal flooding on the fiscal health and resilience of local communities. The project aims to advance understanding of how property devaluation and infrastructure damage from flooding events affect municipal tax revenues, which in turn constrains governments' ability to invest in adaptation measures. The...

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:

  1. Identify "acceptable" locations for allowing sections of barrier islands to naturally erode and "return to nature" to mitigate flood risks at nearby communities.

  2. Quantify reductions in flood risk from these "extreme adaptations" at the identified locations and others.

  3. Assess changes in stakeholder perceptions about this transformative approach for barrier islands.

Through high-resolution modeling and stakeholder engagement, the project aims to provide a framework for community-led management and adaptation of barrier islands to address the growing impacts of sea level rise and stronger storms. No sub-awards are planned under this award.
