This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award to Clemson University will build collaborations and capacity to address climate hazards in the Southeast U.S. The $200,000 award, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2026, will facilitate stakeholder meetings to align academic research with community needs for preparing for earth system hazards and climate change. The project will coordinate a systematic study to understand hazards like heat stress, flooding, and pollutant exposures across the region, and develop actionable solutions to increase community resilience. It will also build capacity by educating communities, training graduate students to collaborate with stakeholders, and incorporating project outcomes into academic coursework. The award reflects NSF's mission to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research.
