Project Grant 2449661
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $359,703 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Alabama for a research project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MODELING REACTIVE, DENSITY-DRIVEN GROUNDWATER FLOW TO IMPROVE CONTAMINANT REMEDIATION". This 3-year project, running from September 2025 to August 2028, will investigate novel methods for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of injecting chemical solutions underground to degrade...
- This $178,404 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to determine the role of groundwater in regulating streamflow response to hydrologic extremes across a gradient of groundwater storage. The project will integrate high-resolution field observations of stream discharge, source, and age with a process-based hydrologic model to simulate groundwater-surface water interactions under various future hydrologic conditions. Study...
- This Project Grant award for $172,951 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort to quantify how groundwater modulates streamflow response to hydrologic extremes in mountainous regions of the Western United States. The project will integrate high-resolution stream and groundwater observations with hydrologic models to improve understanding of how stored groundwater impacts mountain streamflow generation and enhance streamflow...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $303,703 to develop a novel approach for characterizing hydrostratigraphy using water level data collected from multi-level monitoring wells. The University of Iowa will collect water level measurements every 10 seconds from 10 to 15 depths in monitoring wells located at a contaminated groundwater site. Analyzing the response of water levels to rainfall and pumping changes will help delineate the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award totaling $427,296 aims to advance the understanding of solute dispersion in unsaturated porous media, which has critical implications for processes like nutrient and contaminant transport in the vadose zone. The research project, awarded to the Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology, will leverage pore-scale numerical simulation, microfluidics, and 3D printing technologies to study how complex...
- This $235,137 project grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities supports participation in a multi-country research initiative on sustainable conjunctive management of soil and groundwater resources. The award funds a U.S. research team contribution to a larger collaborative project selected through the Belmont Forum, a consortium representing over 55 countries focused on global environmental change challenges. The research will involve seven...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will quantify how groundwater modulates streamflow response to hydrologic extremes in mountainous regions, which are the primary water source for much of the western United States. The $347,592 project, awarded to the University of Utah from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, will integrate high-resolution stream and groundwater observations with hydrologic models to improve understanding of...
- This $199,400 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund collaborative research to augment continuous data assimilation and perform equation discovery with applications in geophysics. The research aims to develop more accurate predictive models for complex systems like weather, ocean currents, and groundwater flow by systematically adapting and modifying existing physically derived models using...
- This Project Grant award of $395,218.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) for a postdoctoral fellowship project titled "Reactive Transport in Fractured Networks: A Bipartite Graph Approach for Rapid and Accurate Prediction". The project will advance the ability to predict chemical reactions between water and rocks in fractured subsurface systems, which play a critical role in...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant of $198,334 awarded to the University of Alabama will develop innovative models to enhance the ability to trace the origins of reactive pollutants in aquifers, a process known as backward tracking (BWT). The project will address limitations of traditional BWT methods that assume standard, or "Fickian," diffusion, by incorporating non-Fickian diffusion models to better represent the complex, nonlinear...
This Project Grant award of $339,522 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to model reactive, density-driven groundwater flow and improve contaminant remediation methods. The goal is to develop more efficient, cost-effective, and ecologically friendly approaches for remediating polluted groundwater by leveraging natural fluid movement induced by density variations. The research will use laboratory experiments, mathematical modeling, and numerical simulations to study multi-species reactive transport in homogeneous and heterogeneous groundwater systems. The project aims to create open-source modeling tools, provide graduate and postdoctoral training, encourage collaboration between modeling and experimental teams, and transfer innovative remediation technologies into practice through outreach initiatives. The award period runs from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2028.
