This $164,006 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research initiative to enhance community resilience to landslide hazards in underserved rural, isolated, and small communities (RISC) in southwestern Puerto Rico. The primary objectives are to: (1) establish new partnerships with federal and local stakeholders to facilitate data access and coordinated disaster response; (2) co-produce research questions 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...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $142,251 supports research examining the influence of critical zone processes on topography in Puerto Rico. Funded under the Integrative Activities program, the award will test hypotheses about how differences in bedrock geology and associated soil characteristics impact landslide occurrence, sediment grain sizes in rivers, and flood frequencies. Researchers from the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez and Colorado State University will conduct...
This Project Grant award of $500,000 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to address the issue of flood injustice in the United States. The project, titled "CHIRRP RCN: CATALYZING FLOOD JUSTICE IN THE USA," brings together researchers, policymakers, and community organizations to examine the social, economic, and environmental factors contributing to unequal flood risks and recovery outcomes. The key activities of this Research Coordination...
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 $299,468 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to better predict impacts of climate-driven hazards, such as tropical cyclones, on health infrastructure in island chains like Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, and U.S. Pacific territories. The research, led by Brown University, integrates high-resolution geographic and weather data with health facility information to develop a decision-support platform to help island health...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $284,044 to Northern Illinois University (NIU) to assess the adaptability of resilience models across multiple scales for hazards such as hurricanes and wildfires. The project tests how communities can craft localized resilience plans and identifies factors that facilitate or hinder implementation. Key activities include public conferences, hazard mapping,...
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 $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...
