This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $325,029 to Indiana University to investigate the coupling between superelevation and gradient advantage in river avulsions. The research team will develop a new unified theory for the processes that prime river avulsion, and test the theory using experiments and observations from satellite imagery. The project aims to better understand the conditions that destabilize rivers and set them...
This $237,361 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on advancing predictive understanding of landscape evolution and erosional extremes under changing climatic conditions. The key objectives are to: (1) extract local geomorphic transport laws driving landscape evolution under different climate forcings using large-scale experimental data and explainable AI methods; (2) quantify the impact of structural...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $590,428 will fund research at Utah State University from July 2022 to June 2025 to develop a physical model characterizing the response of mountain river channels to climate change perturbations. The research aims to separate river response signals from inherent natural variability through three components: establishing a baseline variability model using high-resolution topography and sediment data; developing a physical linkage between...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $101,529 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Central Florida (UCF) to develop a predictive framework for understanding how the structural, geometric, and emergent features of river networks influence the dynamics of flux movement, such as the transport of water, sediment, and nutrients. The three-year project aims to (i) unveil the key controls imposed by river networks on flux aggregation during...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research titled "UNRAVELING FLUVIAL KINEMATICS BEFORE THE RISE OF LAND PLANTS: BRIDGING LABORATORY AND GEOLOGIC SCALES." The two-year award beginning August 1, 2021 will fund basic research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to enhance understanding of the integrated Earth system through expanded knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences....
This $338,559 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Division. The award funds a three-year study to investigate the morphodynamic stability of loop formations in coastal channel networks. The project will employ three complementary research approaches: 1) theoretical derivation to predict the flow conditions that allow channel loops to remain stable, 2) laboratory experiments to measure...
This $270,959 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of the "SANDPIPER" framework, a community toolchain to enable collaborative research in geomorphology from data acquisition to analysis. The key efforts under this award include:
Designing and implementing an affordable open-source hardware-firmware system for data acquisition in geomorphology research labs worldwide.
Establishing a...
This five-year, $460,399 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research and education initiatives focused on improving flood hazard assessments. The principal investigator at Northeastern University will establish a long-term floodplain sedimentation observatory and develop hydraulic models to better understand landscape controls on alluvial sedimentation patterns. This work will help constrain flood hazard estimates through...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences totals $407,205 to fund research titled "FLOODPLAIN ECOGEOMORPHIC PROCESSES: INTERACTIONS BETWEEN FLOODPLAIN FOREST CHARACTERISTICS, WOOD ACCUMULATIONS, AND HYDROGEOMORPHOLOGY." Awarded August 1, 2021 to the University of Colorado with completion by July 31, 2024, the funding supports the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $174,000 to fund research from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2024. The funding supports a study investigating the impact of flooding intensity on levee development and dynamics. The Geosciences program aims to advance fundamental knowledge and understanding of Earth's integrated systems through basic research in atmospheric, Earth, and ocean sciences. This award will further those goals by exploring...
