This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) provides $140,000 to the University of Arizona from August 21, 2023 to August 20, 2025. The purpose is to improve forecasting of post-wildfire debris flow hazards in the Southwestern U.S., especially in Arizona. Key activities include: Collecting data from a recent post-fire debris flow event in Arizona to improve numerical models for forecasting debris flow...
This Project Grant award of $592,916 from the U.S. Geological Survey's Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) will fund research to develop a framework for understanding how wildfires impact flood frequency across the western United States. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing region-specific parameterizations to represent wildfire-driven changes in hydrologic parameters, which will be incorporated into the WRF-Hydro model and a...
The University of Arizona, through an award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences), is conducting a $198,987 planning project titled "PLANNING: FIRE-PLAN: WILDFIRE-RESILIENT ECOSYSTEMS AND COMMUNITIES IN THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES: AN EARLY WARNING SYSTEM." The project aims to (1) identify areas of highest vulnerability to rapid ecological change due to climate change and wildfires, and (2) engage with diverse...
This $199,993 Project Grant was awarded on April 15, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Texas at Arlington. The grant will fund a 3-month turbidity data collection campaign and 9-month follow-up monitoring to establish a baseline for understanding the impact of the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires on water quality. The project will also use real-time satellite imagery to estimate fire-related metrics like char cover and soil burn severity...
This $162,243 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at the University of Central Florida (UCF) to advance predictive understanding of landscape evolution and erosional extremes under changing climatic conditions. The key objectives are to: (1) extract local geomorphic transport laws driving landscape evolution using large-scale experimental data and novel physics-informed artificial intelligence methods; (2)...
The University of Arizona was awarded a $466,484 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to conduct research related to concentration-ratio-discharge relationships of transient water-age distributions. Specifically, the University will collaborate on research examining the dynamics of water movement and mixing within watersheds and aquifers through the project period of January 15, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The research is intended to strengthen...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $293,532.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to Boise State University. The grant aims to analyze patterns of vulnerability to wildland fire at a national scale, evaluate the perceptions and experiences of affected communities regarding wildland fire impacts and adaptation strategies, and explore ways to integrate vulnerability assessments into wildland fire resource allocation...
This $108,519 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to gain predictive understanding of the physical processes responsible for rapid wildfire spread and associated smoke transport within the atmospheric boundary layer. The project will utilize non-modal instability analysis and large-scale eddy simulations to investigate the dynamics and thermodynamic processes driving the rapid growth of billows in fire smoke plumes. This...
This $199,998 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to advance the understanding of the disproportionate impacts of cascading flood events on vulnerable populations, particularly individuals with disabilities. The primary activities include engaging community partners, conducting stakeholder interviews and community listening tours, assessing the feasibility of existing and emerging flood resilience solutions, and mapping the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award, under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program, provides $550,254 to the University of Arizona to conduct research examining the flood justice and equity impacts of flood adaptation infrastructure and urban expansion using satellite observations. The project aims to advance foundational knowledge by generating observed flood data to measure if and where flood protection infrastructures change flooding patterns and who is affected. The work will...
