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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $199,998 to Trustees of Dartmouth College to strengthen community resilience to river flood hazards in hilly and mountainous areas. The two-year project aims to: (1) build partnerships with local communities impacted by river floods, (2) co-develop critical research questions on flood erosion hazards and adaptation solutions, (3) develop a database of flood impacts and adaptation...
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 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $200,000 to New York University (NYU) to develop collaborative partnerships and co-identify research questions aimed at using flood sensor data to better understand and predict urban flooding, as well as implement community-level actions toward adaptation and mitigation. The key objectives are to: (1) develop and optimize data processing tools to prepare the flood dataset for actionable...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $161,611 to Trustees of Dartmouth College to study how rural communities respond to overlapping flood and ecological disasters. The project examines the role of mutual aid networks in enabling recovery and mitigation efforts, and produces a community-based floodplain mapping tool to improve communication and collaboration across scales in disaster response. The research...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant, awarded under the CFDA program 47.079 - Office of International Science and Engineering, aims to develop a flood resilience framework for coastal communities in the Caribbean region, particularly in Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, and St. Lucia. The $648,579 project, starting on June 1, 2024 and running through May 31, 2027, will be led by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The key project goals are to (a) create a community learning...
This Project Grant award of $300,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to develop fast flood modeling technologies that can improve the design and resilience of infrastructure systems. The objective is to create flood simulation capabilities that significantly speed up assessments of flood risks and infrastructure responses, while maintaining accuracy. This high-risk, interdisciplinary research project at the University of Miami's...
This $150,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Texas A&M University examining decision-making around evolving coastal flood risks. The grantee will develop an integrated framework combining risk modeling, economic sorting models, and social behavior models to understand how residential location choices are impacted by changing flood conditions and flood control infrastructure investments. This will quantify changes in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering) provides $499,653.00 to Rowan University to investigate how sea-level rise and coastal flooding impact the ability of local communities to plan for and adapt to extreme coastal events. The project aims to inform local and regional policymakers and planners responsible for economic planning and land use decisions by revealing the spatial and temporal patterns of flooding impact on municipal tax bases and...
