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 $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 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...
The National Science Foundation awarded $370,498 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Texas A&M University for the project "Enhancing the Resilience of Interdependent Natural-Built Infrastructure Systems in Urbanized Coastal River Floodplains with Geomorphological Solutions" from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024. The project aims to improve flood resilience in low-lying, urban coastal river floodplains through examination of interdependencies between natural and built...
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 $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a Research Coordination Network (RCN) focused on "Catalyzing Flood Justice in the USA." The project aims to examine the social, economic, and environmental factors contributing to unequal flood risks and recovery outcomes, particularly for communities of color and low socioeconomic status. 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...
