This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $293,492 to Montana State University to enhance rain-on-snow (ROS) flood forecasting capabilities through advanced hydrologic modeling. The project aims to improve community-scale (< 100 meters) flood forecasting in mountainous areas like Montana by collaborating with the Iowa Flood Center at the University of Iowa. The research will address shortcomings in existing continental-scale...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program grant of $189,997 awarded to Iowa State University of Science and Technology will develop a data-driven, physics-informed early warning system to predict flood occurrence and support communities in agriculture-dominated watersheds across the Midwestern U.S. The project will integrate complex watershed characteristics, human land use, and management practices into hydrological modeling to improve flood forecasting accuracy...
This $550,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of data-driven physics-informed machine learning models to predict flood-induced flow and sediment dynamics. Over a four-year period ending June 2027, the grantee will improve existing high-fidelity numerical modeling tools and apply them to evaluate flood impacts on infrastructure stability in large waterways. They will then use simulation results to inform and...
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 of $199,316.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support Northern Illinois University's (NIU) research project titled "EMBRACE-AGS-SEED: Harnessing the Power of Machine Learning to Generate Ensembles of Regional Climate Projections." The project aims to advance the understanding of how extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall and flooding, may change in response to future climate scenarios. It will...
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 award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $550,254 to the University of Arizona to conduct research on the equity impacts of flood adaptation and urban expansion. The key objectives are to: Generate observed flood data to measure how flood protection infrastructures like levees and drainage systems affect flooding patterns and who is impacted, with a focus on underserved communities. Build capacity for using satellite-based...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will fund a $417,787 research project at Yale University to investigate how farmers in low-income settings adapt to increased flood risks due to climate change. The research consists of two projects: The first project will combine global flood data, NASA satellite imagery, and vegetation indices to assess the impacts of flooding on agricultural practices, crop...
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 National Science Foundation Project Grant of $547,101 will fund research at The University of Iowa from January 2023 through December 2025 to develop an artificial intelligence-powered control framework for optimally regulating streamflow during flood mitigation efforts. The research aims to advance methods for combining physics-informed and recurrent neural networks to predict dynamic system evolution and quantify uncertainty, as well as construct learning-based control synthesis...
