This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $119,770 to the Regents of the University of Michigan, effective January 1, 2025, aims to enhance the resilience of Great Lakes coastal cities to climate-related flooding risks. The project will develop an online participatory tool called PUMP-COR that integrates climate, hydrological, and spatial data to support community-driven decision-making for flooding resilience. This will be achieved by engaging with community-based organizations and city practitioners in Benton Harbor, Michigan and Milwaukee, Wisconsin to co-produce the decision support tool. The outcomes are expected to include improved decision-making for flood resilience, enhanced community participation, and better climate information tailored to the needs of diverse stakeholders. This project contributes to the fields of climate modeling, participatory GIS, and actionable knowledge for climate adaptation and resilience.
