This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $66,000.00 to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct research on understanding the cascading feedback effects between human decision-making and delta morphodynamics. The project aims to develop novel numerical and computational modeling approaches to study how past delta management decisions have influenced human choices and landscape changes over...
This Project Grant award of $700,000 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is focused on improving computational models that describe the relationship between climate and streamflow. The project aims to address uncertainty in these models caused by the influence of human actions on the water cycle, with a specific focus on representing the impacts of dams, which control about 75% of annual runoff in the continental United States. The project will develop a...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $180,000 from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2027 will support a postdoctoral research project using numerical modeling and synthetic stratigraphy generation to evaluate the impacts of extreme storms on delta channel mobility. The key objectives are to: 1) clarify expected rates and types of delta shoreline evolution over 100 to 10,000 years, informing coastal mitigation plans; 2) determine if...
This $398,891 Disaster Resilience Research Grant (DRRG) project from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) explores participatory transformation of barrier islands to enhance coastal resilience. The key objectives are to: Identify "acceptable" locations for allowing sections of barrier islands to naturally erode and "return to nature" to mitigate flood risks at nearby communities. Quantify reductions in flood risk from these "extreme...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $284,111 to Northeastern University from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. The funding supports collaborative research to evaluate past and future hydroclimatology of the Mississippi River through integrated climate modeling, observations, and reconstructions. Researchers will determine the net effect of competing climate...
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 $499,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research investigating the impacts of climate change on coastal communities in an urban environment. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award (August 2024 - July 2027) include: Analysis of the alignment between water infrastructure, policies, and practices with emerging climate and environmental challenges such as...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808), provides $239,278 to the University of Washington to conduct research focused on three main topics: Modeling flood hazards in river delta systems, with a focus on the Nooksack River and understanding the impacts of morphological changes on flooding under future sea level rise scenarios. Developing a conceptual framework for modeling compound flood hazards in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $338,559 to the University of Arkansas will fund a research project titled "Loops in Coastal Channel Networks: A Theoretical, Experimental, and Field-Based Investigation of their Morphodynamic Stability." The project aims to explore the stability of channel loops found in river delta networks, which existing theory suggests should be unstable. The research will use a three-pronged...
This $421,138 project grant from the National Science Foundation will fund the development of a predictive mathematical model for the transport of flocculated mud in rivers by a research team from the California Institute of Technology, University of New Orleans, and Water Institute of the Gulf. The project aims to advance understanding of freshwater flocculation processes and their impact on sustaining floodplains and deltaic wetlands through semi-empirical modeling and field data analysis....
