The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $650,000 Project Grant through its Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to the University of South Carolina (USC) to develop a comprehensive system for predicting, assessing, and mitigating storm-induced contamination of freshwater systems. The project, titled "NSF Convergence Accelerator Track K: COMPASS - Comprehensive Prediction, Assessment, and Equitable Solutions for Storm-Induced Contamination of Freshwater Systems", integrates next-generation sensing, advanced flood modeling, and co-generated policy knowledge. Key components include refining a low-cost nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensor system for in-situ water quality monitoring, developing coupled flood and contaminant modeling, and investigating socio-environmental system complexities. The project aims to enhance community resilience by equipping decision-makers with tools to design adaptive, active, and sustainable infrastructure. USC will collaborate with Jackson State University (JSU) on this effort, with JSU responsible for tasks like prototyping the UAV-deployable NMR sensor and stakeholder engagement.
