This $200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports an experimental investigation of how mangrove root structures influence coastal wave and current dynamics. The University of Rhode Island is the primary awardee, with no sub-awards planned. The key objectives are to: (1) evaluate how mangrove root morphology affects hydrodynamic processes, (2) examine how currents modify wave dynamics in mangrove environments, and (3) analyze the turbulence generated by the interaction of waves, currents, and mangrove roots. The research will use scaled 3D laboratory models and advanced measurement techniques to improve the parameterization of vegetation effects in coastal wave models, ultimately supporting the integration of nature-based solutions into coastal planning and resilience strategies. This award reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific knowledge and technological innovation, with a focus on addressing the urgent need for effective and sustainable shoreline protection.
