This $475,793 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey's National and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CFDA 15.820) program supports the University of Hawaii at Manoa in developing a new machine learning approach to statistically downscale global climate model outputs. This will enable the generation of high-resolution (1km) daily and sub-daily precipitation projections for the Hawaiian Islands, which will then be used to quantify future flood risk. The project...

The University of Hawaii (UH) was awarded a $299,943 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities Program (CFDA 47.083) to enhance flood detection and mapping capabilities. The project aims to develop state-of-the-art computational tools using polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data, metaheuristic algorithms, and deep learning techniques to rapidly and accurately map flooded areas. This research will help improve disaster response, water resource management, and risk mitigation efforts, particularly for underrepresented coastal communities. The award, effective from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025, also includes educational activities to engage underserved high school and undergraduate students in STEM fields related to hydrology, remote sensing, and natural hazards.
