The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $245,526 Project Grant to Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, to conduct collaborative research on unraveling the controls on the origin and environmental functioning of oxbow lakes. This project under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to evaluate how the initial geometry of meander cutoffs in the West Fork White River in Indiana determines the likelihood of oxbow...
This $108,453 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083). The funding supports a collaborative research project led by Louisiana State University (LSU) that aims to unravel the controls on the origin and environmental functioning of oxbow lakes. The project will employ field data collection and numerical modeling methodologies to evaluate how the initial geometry of meander cutoffs...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $315,641 Project Grant to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support the "GLOW: Sequencing Rivers with Machine Learning and Bioinformatics" research project. This five-year effort will adapt computing methods from speech recognition and DNA sequencing to analyze over 100,000 river meander bends and test whether their geometric shapes can be classified into a...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $338,559 to the University of Arkansas will fund a research project titled "Loops in Coastal Channel Networks: A Theoretical, Experimental, and Field-Based Investigation of their Morphodynamic Stability." The project aims to explore the stability of channel loops found in river delta networks, which existing theory suggests should be unstable. The research will use a three-pronged...
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution received a three-year, $237,524 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to conduct collaborative research on morphodynamic simulations of coastal storms and overwash to characterize back-barrier lake stratigraphies. The research funded under this award will strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences as outlined under the National Science...
