Key activities include hosting workshops, fostering collaboration, and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $598,187 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) to develop social and technology infrastructure that expands critical coastal flooding data collection and leverages it to enhance resilience in rural Maine coastal communities. The key products and services to be delivered under this one-year project include: Installation of low-cost tide gauges to...
This $673,418 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at North Carolina State University to improve understanding of monthly flood dynamics over the southeastern and south-central United States. Specifically, the university will quantify shifts in flood climatology, identify moisture delivery pathways for floods, and attribute sources of modulation for floods' spatiotemporal variability. Researchers will examine historical...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports research on understanding how compound flood mechanisms influence decision-making about shoreline adaptation in multi-jurisdictional governance systems and how those decisions modify flood risk patterns. The $555,778 award, effective March 1, 2025 through February 28, 2030, will develop an integrated modeling framework to examine the emergent behavior that arises from the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $499,653 to Rowan University to investigate the impacts of sea-level rise and coastal flooding on the fiscal health and resilience of local communities. The project aims to advance understanding of how property devaluation and infrastructure damage from flooding events affect municipal tax revenues, which in turn constrains governments' ability to invest in adaptation measures. The...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award, valued at $999,732 and effective August 1, 2025, will develop tools and solution alternatives for coastal communities impacted by compounding flood hazards from multiple simultaneous sources. The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. will partner with local organizations in San Juan, Puerto Rico to use advanced computer models and affordable flood sensors to improve flood modeling. The project will produce guidelines for integrating local perspectives into designing flood-mitigating infrastructure, identifying flood zones, and developing evacuation maps and early warning systems for vulnerable residents. The research team will develop efficient, inclusive methodologies to accurately assess coastal floods utilizing local knowledge and physics-based numerical modeling techniques to better understand compound flood dynamics. The project will deliver several direct, immediate solutions to the community, including resilient infrastructure plans, a pilot impact-based forecast, and a web dashboard for flood sensor monitoring, as well as long-term flood risk maps and improved local rainfall forecasts.
