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...
This $300,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to enhance the resilience of groundwater resources in major U.S. agricultural regions through a participatory planning approach. The project team at Southern Illinois University, with sub-awards to Iowa State University and the University of Nebraska, will develop an AI-based modeling system to empower farming communities in addressing groundwater depletion and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $285,878 to the University of Wisconsin-Madison will fund research to investigate how fractures in underground rock formations influence the movement of water, solutes, and colloids through the subsurface. The key objectives are to: 1) experimentally quantify flow channelization and fracture-matrix exchange using advanced imaging techniques, 2) measure and model differences between solute and...
This two-year, $180,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research and professional development activities to evaluate spatiotemporal dependence in groundwater-dependent ecosystem processes. Dr. Matthew Lurtz will quantify water uptake by groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDEs) in different climatic regions using site instrumentation, remote sensing methods, and numerical groundwater modeling. This will enhance understanding of GDE...
This $117,414 five-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the development of an integrated hydrologic model to better understand groundwater dynamics in the Great Lakes Basin. The University of Arizona, on behalf of the State of Arizona, will fuse hydrologic modeling with GPS, satellite imagery, and Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) data to more accurately simulate surface and subsurface flows. Through data...
This Project Grant award of $5,012,875.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a shallow drilling campaign to assess the Pleistocene hydrogeology, geomicrobiology, nutrient fluxes, and freshwater resources of the Atlantic continental shelf off the coast of New England. The research, conducted by the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, aims to study the onshore-offshore freshwater system in this region, including investigating freshwater...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $303,703 to develop a novel approach for characterizing hydrostratigraphy using water level data collected from multi-level monitoring wells. The University of Iowa will collect water level measurements every 10 seconds from 10 to 15 depths in monitoring wells located at a contaminated groundwater site. Analyzing the response of water levels to rainfall and pumping changes will help delineate the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $1,800,000 to the University of California, Davis to analyze the role of decentralized investment partnerships in developing aquifer storage infrastructure that promotes economic productivity, environmental benefits, and enhances community access to safe and reliable drinking water under a changing climate. The research will integrate political and institutional feedbacks into...
This $235,137 project grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities supports participation in a multi-country research initiative on sustainable conjunctive management of soil and groundwater resources. The award funds a U.S. research team contribution to a larger collaborative project selected through the Belmont Forum, a consortium representing over 55 countries focused on global environmental change challenges. The research will involve seven...
This $249,850 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project to investigate hydrologic flow in the deep critical zone, the region from the top of the canopy to the depth of the bedrock where water, atmosphere, ecosystems, soils and rocks interact. The project will use time-lapse geophysical imaging techniques to examine the response of the deep critical zone to large precipitation events at a watershed site...
