This $893,081 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Duke University is funding collaborative research to understand and forecast changes in coastal shorelines. The project aims to transform the scientific community's ability to model and predict coastline changes over timescales ranging from a year to a century, in response to factors like shifting storm patterns and sea-level rise. The research will develop advanced techniques...
This $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a 3-year initiative to work with coastal communities in California to produce research and adaptation strategies that address climate resilience in the face of increasing coastal flooding, storm intensity, and storm frequency. The project, titled "RAISE: CHIRRP: CENTERING EQUITY IN COASTAL COMMUNITY CLIMATE RESILIENCE," will partner with community groups,...
This $654,897 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund collaborative research on swash zone dynamics driven by obliquely incident waves. The University of Delaware will lead laboratory experiments, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulations to expand understanding of three-dimensional flow and sediment transport patterns in the swash zone under a range of wave conditions and angles of incidence....
This $309,560 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to investigate the effects of wind events on circulation and salinity dynamics in the curved, wind-dominated Neuse Estuary in North Carolina. The project will use 3D ocean modeling to simulate how wind speed, direction, and event duration impact the estuarine circulation and salinity distribution. Results from idealized and realistic simulations will enhance...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences program awarded a $429,311 project grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) on March 1, 2024 to investigate the factors that generate and amplify coastal flooding related to high tides and storm surge in the United States. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include:
Analysis of publicly available data, simplified ocean dynamics modeling, and evaluation of results from a global ocean community...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $137,728 CAREER grant under its Geosciences program to The Washington University in St. Louis. The 5-year project, starting on April 1, 2024, will focus on understanding how changes in wave climate and extreme wave events impact erosion and coastal hazards on rocky shorelines. The research activities will include synthesizing environmental, topographic, and geologic datasets, using innovative seismic monitoring techniques, and developing new...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $180,000 from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2027 will support a postdoctoral research project using numerical modeling and synthetic stratigraphy generation to evaluate the impacts of extreme storms on delta channel mobility. The key objectives are to: 1) clarify expected rates and types of delta shoreline evolution over 100 to 10,000 years, informing coastal mitigation plans; 2) determine if...
This Project Grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (CFDA 43.001 - Science) provides $405,354 to North Carolina State University (NC State) to address the issue of climate-induced sea-level rise and coastal flooding. The project aims to develop maps, real-time data streams, and sensor-based estimates of flood frequency at the community level. This will support local governments in demonstrating potential inequities and quantifying...
This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
This $191,762 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to assess the predictability of annual to decadal sea level variability on global scales. Funded through the Geosciences program under the NSF Division of Ocean Sciences, the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research will collaborate with the National Center for Atmospheric Research to conduct simulations using the Community Earth System Model. The simulations at 1 and 0.1 degree resolutions will be evaluated...
