The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) has awarded a $180,000 Project Grant to support a postdoctoral fellowship research project entitled "Using Numerical Modeling and Synthetic Stratigraphy Generation to Evaluate the Impacts of Extreme Storms on Delta Channel Mobility". The 2-year project, running from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2027, aims to use numerical delta simulations and synthetic geologic record generation to quantify the expected rates and types of delta shoreline evolution under future increases in extreme storm intensity and frequency. The research seeks to 1) clarify expected coastal changes to inform mitigation plans, 2) relate storm-influenced delta behavior to the rock record, and 3) guide future field or laboratory research on storm impacts. No sub-awards are planned for this grant.
