This $1,324,092 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Florida International University (FIU), establishes the South Florida Coastal Environmental Data and Modeling Center. The center will focus on developing AI/ML techniques for understanding and predicting key processes affecting coastal environments in Southeast Florida, with an emphasis on addressing challenges like flood damage, sea-level rise, urban flooding, water quality, and harmful algae blooms.

The project includes several sub-awards to partner institutions - Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi will contribute to developing AI models for predicting water levels, sea level variability, and coastal inundation, North Carolina State University will work on AI/ML for sea level variability and harmful algal bloom prediction, and the University of Oklahoma will develop explainable AI methods for the project's coastal environmental applications. The four-year grant will also provide education, training, and workforce development opportunities for diverse students at FIU in AI/ML and environmental science.
