This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $417,787 to Yale University supports a research project examining how farmers in low-income regions adapt to increased flood risks due to climate change. The award will fund two complementary projects:
The first project combines global flood data, satellite imagery, and vegetation indices to study the impacts of flooding on agricultural practices, crop choices, and public health in flood-prone areas. The second project tests the efficacy of an enhanced flood early warning system that integrates Google's forecasting technology with a community-based alert program. Findings from this research will inform policies to increase resilience and guide U.S. foreign aid strategies in regions vulnerable to heightened flood risks. Subawards are planned under this grant.
