This $411,496 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to understand and predict the evolution of backward erosion piping (BEP) - a type of internal erosion that can cause failures in geotechnical flood protection infrastructure. The research aims to develop novel computational modeling capabilities to mechanistically characterize the relationship between hydraulic conditions and the time-dependent evolution of BEP. Key...
This $757,974 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research by The Pennsylvania State University, doing business as Penn State, to develop a systems modeling framework for designing climate-resilient levee infrastructure that supports equitable, resilient, and sustainable floodplain communities. The project aims to address interactions between levee network performance, future climates, natural infrastructure, and behavioral...
This $673,131 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will develop a real-time, high-resolution monitoring framework to identify and manage urban environmental hazards in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The project aims to leverage existing fiber-optic cable infrastructure to monitor water infrastructure and geological conditions, addressing challenges related to aging infrastructure, climate change, and equitable access to city services. Key...
This $550,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of data-driven physics-informed machine learning models to predict flood-induced flow and sediment dynamics. Over a four-year period ending June 2027, the grantee will improve existing high-fidelity numerical modeling tools and apply them to evaluate flood impacts on infrastructure stability in large waterways. They will then use simulation results to inform and...
This five-year, $460,399 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research and education initiatives focused on improving flood hazard assessments. The principal investigator at Northeastern University will establish a long-term floodplain sedimentation observatory and develop hydraulic models to better understand landscape controls on alluvial sedimentation patterns. This work will help constrain flood hazard estimates through...
This $190,296 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Susquehanna University to evaluate the effectiveness of using Beaver Dam Analogues (BDAs) to enhance the resilience of urban streams in the face of stormwater challenges. The project aims to determine how BDAs can stabilize flashy urban streams and improve their capacity to absorb and mitigate the impacts of extreme weather events. Through field-based...
