This $499,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research investigating the impacts of climate change on coastal communities in an urban environment. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award (August 2024 - July 2027) include: Analysis of the alignment between water infrastructure, policies, and practices with emerging climate and environmental challenges such as...
This Project Grant award of $500,000.00, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support a research project titled "RAISE: CHIRRP: CENTERING EQUITY IN COASTAL COMMUNITY CLIMATE RESILIENCE." The project will work with California coastal communities to produce research and adaptation strategies that address resiliency in the face of increasing coastal flooding, storm intensity, and storm frequency. The early-career research team will...
This $1,000,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to advance the foundational understanding of chronic heat hazards, risks, and adaptation strategies in subtropical regions like Florida. Led by the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, the project will develop new methods to measure and manage chronic humid heat exposures, with a focus on informing planning and implementation of...
This Project Grant award of $998,696.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a project at Northeastern University to evaluate how communities have responded to recent floods and develop new tools to help build resilience to flooding hazards. The project aims to enhance the resilience of floodplain communities by increasing understanding of the causes and projections of riverine flooding at the local level. The researchers will collaborate with...
This $756,237 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a collaborative research project titled "Risks, Impacts, & Strategies for Coastal Communities: Advancing Convergent Science to Support Climate Change Adaptation & Resilience." The project is led by the College of Charleston in partnership with the University of Delaware, University of Rhode Island, University of South Carolina, and other...
This $999,721 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project titled "RAISE: SAFEGUARDING U.S. COASTAL GROUNDWATER SUPPLIES FROM FLOODING AND SALTWATER INTRUSION" at the University of Florida. The project aims to develop strategies and decision-support tools to address challenges faced by coastal communities due to rising sea levels, climate change, urban sprawl, and agricultural impacts on...
This Project Grant award of $119,770, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to enhance the resilience of Great Lakes coastal cities to flooding risks driven by climate change. The project will create an online "Participatory Urban Modeling and Climate Projections for Community-Driven Flooding Resilience" (PUMP-COR) decision support tool that integrates climate, hydrological, and spatial data. This tool will be developed in partnership...
This $150,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Texas A&M University examining decision-making around evolving coastal flood risks. The grantee will develop an integrated framework combining risk modeling, economic sorting models, and social behavior models to understand how residential location choices are impacted by changing flood conditions and flood control infrastructure investments. This will quantify changes in...
This $1,324,092 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Florida International University (FIU), establishes the South Florida Coastal Environmental Data and Modeling Center. The center will focus on developing AI/ML techniques for understanding and predicting key processes affecting coastal environments in Southeast Florida, with an emphasis on addressing challenges like flood damage, sea-level rise, urban flooding, water quality, and...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will develop tools and solution alternatives for coastal communities impacted by compounding flood hazards from multiple simultaneous sources. The $999,732 project, which runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2030, will partner with local organizations in San Juan, Puerto Rico to use advanced computer models and affordable flood sensors to improve flood modeling and produce guidelines...
