- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $199,998 to Trustees of Dartmouth College to strengthen community resilience to river flood hazards in hilly and mountainous areas. The two-year project aims to: (1) build partnerships with local communities impacted by river floods, (2) co-develop critical research questions on flood erosion hazards and adaptation solutions, (3) develop a database of flood impacts and adaptation...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded $627,744 under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to The Washington University from July 2022 to June 2025. This Project Grant will support research aimed at developing a physical model to assess the sensitivity of mountain river channels to shifts in climate and associated hazards. Specifically, the grant will fund 1) analysis of high-resolution topography and sediment transport data to establish baseline...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $590,428 will fund research at Utah State University from July 2022 to June 2025 to develop a physical model characterizing the response of mountain river channels to climate change perturbations. The research aims to separate river response signals from inherent natural variability through three components: establishing a baseline variability model using high-resolution topography and sediment data; developing a physical linkage between...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research titled "UNRAVELING FLUVIAL KINEMATICS BEFORE THE RISE OF LAND PLANTS: BRIDGING LABORATORY AND GEOLOGIC SCALES." The two-year award beginning August 1, 2021 will fund basic research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to enhance understanding of the integrated Earth system through expanded knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences....
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $174,000 to support research on the evolution of landscapes buried by Quaternary sediments. The two-year award, made effective February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2024, will fund work advancing fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grant recipient will conduct studies of landscapes...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $101,087 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Illinois for a collaborative research project titled "Ultra-High Resolution Paleostreamflow in Southeast Asia--Proxy/Model Comparison". The goal of this 2-year project, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026, is to synthesize existing tree-ring proxy data to create a seasonal-resolution paleo-streamflow reconstruction for...
- 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...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences grant award, with CFDA Number 47.050, provides funding of $180,000.00 for a 2-year project from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025. The project, led by Dr. D. Nev? Baker, aims to investigate the historical role of beavers in shaping the landscape and providing environmental resilience in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. The study will employ sedimentary analyses and DNA sequencing of ancient sediments (sedaDNA) to...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $317,289.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside. The award is for a collaborative research project investigating the coupling between superelevation and gradient advantage in river avulsions, a natural hazard where rivers jump out of their banks and create devastating floods. The project aims to develop a unified theory for the processes that prime...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a two-year, $174,000 Project Grant to researchers at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. The grant aims to experimentally study the dynamics of frozen, cohesive river banks to bridge pore-scale properties with channel-scale dynamics under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system, including the atmospheric,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant, awarded to Amherst College for $137,314, aims to deepen understanding of how floodplains have responded to past climate changes. The primary goal is to determine the timing of river terrace formation and compare it to known climate shifts over the last 14,000 years, to better predict how floodplains will change under future climate warming. The research will be conducted in Eastern Scotland, an ideal location due to its tectonic stability, climate chronology, and river terrace successions. The project also supports educational activities, including a summer workshop for underrepresented middle school girls and the development of an undergraduate virtual field project on terrace formation. This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and aligns with NSF's mission to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences (CFDA 47.050).
