This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the coupling between superelevation and gradient advantage in river avulsions. The $317,289 award to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside aims to develop a new unified theory for the processes that prime river avulsion and test it using experiments and satellite observations. The research will investigate three key hypotheses related to the joint...
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...
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 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 (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $245,526 Project Grant to Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, to conduct collaborative research on unraveling the controls on the origin and environmental functioning of oxbow lakes. This project under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to evaluate how the initial geometry of meander cutoffs in the West Fork White River in Indiana determines the likelihood of oxbow...
