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 for $199,052 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a planning project titled "CHIRRP: Engagement and Mitigation for Building Resilience Against Cascading Events in Puerto Rico." The project aims to lay the groundwork for collaboratively developing fundamental research questions and establishing long-term collaboration with three communities in Puerto Rico to address the impacts of cascading natural hazards, such as...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $497,132 to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation for the development of a Collaborative Center for Landslides and Ground Failure GeoHazards under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The Center will serve as a hub focused on researching the causes and triggers of landslides as well as developing forecasting tools. Specific products and services include developing...
This three-year, $334,539 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research between Colorado State University and the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez to test critical zone controls on mountain-scale relief in Puerto Rico's tropical climate. The research will examine how differences in critical zone processes influence topography through a comparative study of volcanic and granitic bedrock units on the island. The project will evaluate the impact of soil and...
This $999,732 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will enable the University of Georgia Research Foundation to co-develop modeling frameworks and solutions to mitigate the effects of compounding flood hazards in coastal communities. The 5-year project, commencing on August 1, 2025, will partner with local organizations in San Juan, Puerto Rico to integrate advanced computer models, affordable flood sensors, and community input to...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) provides $473,895 to the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez to support research and data collection activities related to the deployment of a Landslide-Ready municipal certification program in Puerto Rico.
The key activities and deliverables under this 2-year award (September 2024 to December 2026) include: (1) a geospatial analysis of priority municipalities for the...
This Project Grant award in the amount of $345,075 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research project titled "Rhizomatic Nexus: Cultural Dimensions of Ecological Instability" between Florida Atlantic University and the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey. The goal of this project is to understand how communities adapt culturally to environmental disruption and climate instability in the...
This $400,000 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) funds a collaborative research project between the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras (UPR-RP) and the USGS. The project aims to assess past and current geologic hazard preparedness and response activities in Puerto Rico to identify opportunities to refine and align activities and build geologic hazards capacity through training and...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $100,000 supports research at Purdue University from September 2022 to August 2025 under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The research aims to strengthen community resilience to natural hazards like earthquakes by incorporating stakeholder priorities into risk mitigation efforts.
Specifically, the university will conduct social and physical experiments to better understand vulnerability of pre-1970s concrete buildings and evaluate...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $218,998 to North Carolina State University from March 2023 through February 2026. The funding supports research to develop and test a new technique for forecasting geohazards such as landslides, submarine slides, ground fissures, and liquefaction. Specifically, the researchers aim to determine if measurements of the density of excited vibrational modes (DOM) in natural sediments can provide a...
