This $180,267 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate the impact of climate change on karst groundwater resources using advanced deep-learning techniques. The research, led by Sam Houston State University, will develop innovative deep-learning models to analyze comprehensive data from U.S. karst aquifers and integrate climate projection data to forecast the future status of these critical groundwater resources under different climate change scenarios. The project seeks to provide insights into the resilience and vulnerabilities of karst terrains, which supply drinking water to a significant portion of the U.S. population, to inform more effective conservation and management strategies. In addition, the research will enhance STEM education and geoscience learning by actively involving underrepresented students and integrating the project components into the curriculum. This two-year award, effective from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2026, reflects the NSF's mission to expand scientific knowledge and support innovative research that can contribute to broader societal benefits.
