Project Grant 2513720
- This $298,433 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to investigate vertical land-surface dynamics in the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta in Bangladesh. The project aims to unravel the intersecting processes contributing to land subsidence and elevation changes in this vulnerable coastal region, which is at risk from sea-level rise and increasing storm impacts. The research will integrate local ground-based...

- 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...
- 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 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 (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $381,275 to the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) will fund collaborative research to investigate changes in Bhutan's glacial geomorphology, hydrology, and dynamics using geophysical methods. The project brings together U.S. and Bhutanese scientists to study the Lunana glaciers region, with the goal of improving understanding of sediment transport, landscape change, glacier movements, and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $289,796 in funding to the University of Washington from August 15, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The project brings together U.S. and Bhutan-based scientists to investigate changes in Bhutan's glacial geomorphology, hydrology, and dynamics using geophysical methods such as radar and seismic experiments. The goal is to improve understanding of sediment transport, landscape change, glacier...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $299,823 will support the "IRES TRACK I: U.S.-Bangladesh Collaboration to Improve Air Quality: Application of Low-Cost Sensor Technologies and Satellite Remote Sensing" program from September 2022 through August 2025. The grant was awarded under the NSF Office of International Science and Engineering's CFDA 47.079 program, which aims to strengthen international partnerships to advance scientific discovery and benefit the Nation. Over...
This Project Grant award of $234,705.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to investigate vertical land-surface dynamics in the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta region of Bangladesh. The project aims to combine on-the-ground elevation measurements with satellite observations to develop a comprehensive numerical model of land subsidence and sediment processes in this vulnerable coastal area. The research will contribute to Bangladesh's coastal planning efforts through collaboration with government agencies, academic institutions, and non-governmental organizations. The project will support 2 postdoctoral researchers and 3 graduate students in the U.S., as well as build research capacity for students and faculty in Bangladesh. The resulting model is expected to have broad applicability for flood risk assessment and management in other coastal, low-lying delta regions worldwide.
