- This $200,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Directorate (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The goal is to evaluate the immediate and long-term impacts of the 2023 Maui wildfires on the chemical and microbiological quality of nearby beach and coastal waters. The project will collect and analyze environmental samples, including sediments, surface water, and groundwater, to characterize the extent and mechanisms of contaminant...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The grant funds a rapid response study to assess the impacts of a recent wildfire disaster in Lahaina, West Maui, Hawaii. The research team will collect field data on water quality, sediment fluxes, and soil/ash samples to document the post-wildfire runoff dynamics, sedimentation, and contaminant transport in the coastal urban...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,948 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The grant, effective October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024, will support research examining the ecological impacts of the 2023 Lahaina, Maui wildfire on nearby coral reef ecosystems. The project employs a "before-after control-impact" design to compare affected and unaffected reefs, focusing on the effects of runoff containing...
- This $199,669 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program will fund a rapid assessment of indoor and outdoor air quality in 20 Maui, Hawaii residential households affected by the 2023 wildfires. The project team from Harvard University and the University of Hawaii at Manoa will measure levels of particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to evaluate the impact of the fire-related air pollutants....
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $168,845 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa aims to advance the understanding of the subseasonal-to-seasonal variability of wildfires in Hawaii and improve the accuracy of long-term wildfire forecasting. The research will use a combination of historical data and reanalysis techniques to quantify the variability of wildfires and fire weather in Hawaii, and identify the climatic factors contributing...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The University of Hawaii at Manoa received an $850,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2028. This award supports fundamental research evaluating the functional impacts of ash deposition from terrestrial wildfires on tropical coral reef ecosystems and their associated microbial communities. The project will...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program Project Grant award of $200,000 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa supports an urgent data collection effort for wildfire modeling research related to the Lahaina Fire on Maui. The grant aims to leverage various data sources, including social media and timestamped photos, and apply AI-enhanced methods for data gathering, processing, and integration to advance understanding of fire propagation...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of South Carolina. The purpose of this RAPID award is to examine the concentration, composition, and properties of metals, metal-bearing nanomaterials, and environmentally persistent free radicals in fire ash and soil collected following the recent Maui wildfire. The research aims to 1) quantify the levels of these contaminants, 2) characterize their properties and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $247,686 Project Grant to the University of Nevada, Reno under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2025. The grant will fund research to understand how wildfire severity affects the formation of disinfection byproducts at downstream drinking water treatment plants. Specifically, the principal investigator and a graduate student will characterize organic matter from a past wildfire using new analytical...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler (UTHSCT) to investigate the risk of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung infections in the aftermath of the 2023 Lahaina, Maui wildfires. The research aims to study the environmental diversity and spread of NTM through sampling of wildfire ash, smoke, water, soil, and dust. By comparing NTM species found after...
