- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $319,964 to Northeastern University aims to study how human engineering decisions and landscape changes over centuries have impacted coastal regions. The project uses novel modeling approaches, including agent-based, dynamical system, and participatory modeling, to understand how local-scale engineering interventions can lead to less geomorphologically stable delta landscapes compared to larger...
- This $408,862 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate the mechanisms underlying extreme rainfall events in South Asia. The research aims to: (1) document how low pressure systems, which drive intense rainfall in the region, respond to climate variability; (2) develop a mechanistic understanding of how large-scale atmospheric conditions control low pressure system formation, movement, and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $862,940 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Columbia University to conduct collaborative research on extreme rainfall events in South Asia. The project aims to: (1) document how low pressure weather systems change in response to climate variability; (2) develop a mechanistic understanding of how large-scale atmospheric conditions influence the formation, movement, and intensity of these weather systems; and (3) evaluate...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $199,998 to Trustees of Dartmouth College to strengthen community resilience to river flood hazards in hilly and mountainous areas. The two-year project aims to: (1) build partnerships with local communities impacted by river floods, (2) co-develop critical research questions on flood erosion hazards and adaptation solutions, (3) develop a database of flood impacts and adaptation...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $209,612 provides funding from August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025 to support collaborative research examining the geomorphic legacy of megaflood deposits on river processes and landform evolution in the Eastern Himalaya mountains. The award is made through NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge of integrated Earth system processes through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
- 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 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $442,077 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct collaborative research on disentangling subsidence and vertical land-surface dynamics in the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta region of Bangladesh. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award, which runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028, include integrating local ground-based elevation measurements with satellite observations to develop a comprehensive numerical model of elevation change. This model will enable a synthesis of all measurements and incorporate shallow processes to better understand the balance between increasing water levels from sea-level rise and land subsidence in this vulnerable delta region. The research will support 2 postdocs and 3 graduate students in the U.S. as well as build capacity for students and faculty in Bangladesh. The model outputs will also have applicability for forecasting sustainability of other lowland deltas prone to flood risk worldwide, including the Mississippi Delta.
