This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to improve coastal community resilience to hurricane wind-related hazards and potential compounding hazards, such as power grid failures and extreme heat, in the Gulf Coast region of Texas and Louisiana. The $499,802 project, awarded on August 1, 2025, will leverage Doppler radar wind retrievals, near-surface wind measurements, high-resolution computer simulations, and artificial intelligence...
This Project Grant award of $122,636 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to analyze hurricane vortices using a recently developed mathematical framework called LIUTEX. The primary goal is to better understand how small-scale vortices within hurricane eyewalls relate to the overall storm structure and intensity, with the potential to improve hurricane forecasting. The research team at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel...
This Project Grant award of $177,044 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research by the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) to analyze hurricane vortices using a recently developed mathematical framework called LIUTEX. The goal is to better understand how small-scale vortices within hurricane eyewalls relate to the overall hurricane structure and intensity, with the potential to improve hurricane forecasting. The research involves...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $409,127 provides funding from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026 to support collaborative research on hurricane risk amplification and changing North Atlantic natural disasters. The award is made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the funding will support research examining hurricanes...
This Project Grant award of $215,146 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to investigate how the expansion rate of tropical cyclones (hurricanes) changes with global warming. The research aims to bridge the gap between theory and real-world observations to improve forecasting of tropical cyclone hazards, including wind, storm surge, inland flooding, and tornadoes. The project will systematically analyze historical data, climate model...
This $529,671 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, supports research at the University of Arizona to comprehensively assess the processes governing over-ocean tropical cyclone weakening. The project aims to advance fundamental understanding of hurricanes that weaken while still over the ocean, rather than intensifying, in order to improve forecasting of these events and mitigate risks to vulnerable coastal populations. Key activities...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $698,967 to the University of Oklahoma will fund research to understand how the extratropical transition of hurricanes impacts tornadoes and their associated thunderstorms. The project aims to examine how tornado frequency and supercell characteristics vary with hurricane traits during the extratropical transition process using observational data analysis and high-resolution modeling. The research...
This three-year, $533,747 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will fund research into how the intensity and impacts of tropical cyclones may change in response to climate warming after landfall. Specifically, the grantee will conduct idealized and real-data case studies in pseudo-global warming scenarios to assess potential shifts in tropical cyclone activity and landfall location, changes in precipitation patterns and the extent of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a $425,403 study by George Mason University to characterize the effects of hurricanes on the upper atmosphere. The research team will use satellite observations and climate models to analyze how hurricanes impact winds, temperatures, and atmospheric waves in the thermosphere and ionosphere, tens of kilometers above the Earth's surface. This work aims to provide new insights into the...
This $350,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to unravel the long-range predictability and environmental dependency of high-impact cyclones, such as hurricanes and nor'easters, using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The project aims to delineate the predictability limits of these dangerous storms, identify key atmospheric precursors, and probe the contributions of ocean, sea ice, and land...
