The University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research was awarded a $420,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) to develop a novel AI surrogate cyberinfrastructure for large-scale spatiotemporal simulations in coastal circulation. The project aims to create AI-powered models that can rapidly simulate ocean current circulation along coastlines, supporting early warning systems to save lives and prevent losses from climate change impacts in vulnerable regions. Key innovations include a novel AI surrogate model architecture, optimization strategies for time and GPU memory efficiency, and a scalable model training and inference pipeline. The project will also provide educational activities, including curriculum development and mentoring of high school students in AI and coastal circulation research.
