This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $300,000 to the University of Southern California (USC) to investigate how new technologies for water resource extraction, such as membrane-based filtration and retrofittable fermenters, can address anticipated challenges of water scarcity and resource insecurity. The project aims to develop conceptual tools for understanding resource extraction in a...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.041 Engineering program provides $1,235,696 to Arizona State University (ASU) to develop cost- and energy-efficient brine treatment technologies that enable decarbonized brackish water desalination (BWD) for climate-adaptive water supply. The 4-year project aims to: 1) create a novel nanofiltration and reverse osmosis process to reduce brine volume; 2) design an innovative interface-enhanced crystallizer for...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program totaling $369,530 will support Portland State University's efforts to build research capacity for collaborative, interdisciplinary study of water and society issues through 2025. The University will establish an interdisciplinary research collaboration between scholars in geography, environmental studies, applied linguistics, and anthropology focusing on themes of water values,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $1,800,000 to the University of California, Davis to analyze the role of decentralized investment partnerships in developing aquifer storage infrastructure that promotes economic productivity, environmental benefits, and enhances community access to safe and reliable drinking water under a changing climate. The research will integrate political and institutional feedbacks into...
This Project Grant award of $170,314 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at Arizona State University (ASU) to elucidate the interplay between inorganic scaling and organic fouling in reverse osmosis (RO) desalination.
