This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $674,291 supports research to understand the causality of landslides, a significant natural hazard exacerbated by climate change. The research project, led by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY), will pursue four key thrusts: (1) establishing landslide datasets and benchmarks, (2) developing AI-physics hybrid models to explore hydro-eco-geomorphic drivers, (3)...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports research at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to advance the understanding of rainfall-triggered landslides and their consequences, considering vegetation effects and climate change. The $570,960 award, effective March 1, 2024 through February 28, 2029, aims to: (1) develop numerical analysis methods to incorporate the hydromechanical effects...
This federal Project Grant award of $162,242 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports collaborative research to advance the predictive understanding of landscapes and erosional processes under changing climatic conditions. The research team at the University of Central Florida (UCF) will leverage large-scale laboratory experiments and novel AI techniques to (1) extract local geomorphic transport laws...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $237,361 to the University of California, Irvine to advance predictive understanding of landscape evolution and erosion patterns under changing climatic conditions. The key objectives are to: (1) extract local geomorphic transport laws driving landscape evolution using large-scale experimental data and explainable AI methods, (2) quantify the impact of landscape connectivity on...
This Federal Project Grant award for $450,000 from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to assess the environmental sustainability and economic viability of alternative mine reclamation practices in central Wyoming. The project examines the impacts of two reclamation approaches - traditional uniform hillslopes and reconstructed natural landforms - on vegetation, soil moisture, surface runoff, erosion, and sediment export over time. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program awarded a $498,356 project grant to the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) for the project "Controls on Ridgeline Profile Morphology." This 3-year grant, effective July 1, 2024, will fund research to improve the understanding of how ridgelines are shaped and eroded, which is key to predicting natural hazards like landslides, debris flows, and river flooding. The project will test three hypotheses about the controls on ridgeline...
This five-year, $475,451 National Science Foundation project grant in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research examining how topography preserves details of the seismic cycle. The principal investigator will develop computational landscape simulations under varying tectonic and climatic conditions to identify topographic signatures of the seismic cycle. They will then assess whether these signatures are recognizable in natural landscapes with independent constraints on seismic...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $2.8 million project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University for the period of October 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026. The project aims to map changes in Greenland resulting from ice thinning and explore emerging landslide and hazard risks. Researchers will integrate local observations from Greenlandic communities with remote sensing data to understand how hazards evolve over time. Advanced...
This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $349,754 to Montana State University (MSU) to quantify how century to millennial-scale hillslope geomorphic processes influence the storage of ice and carbon in Arctic permafrost soils. The research aims to shed light on fundamental geological processes that control the resilience and vulnerability of ground-ice and carbon in permafrost landscapes, which is critical for understanding future...
