- This three-year, $349,200 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to advance mathematical and computational modeling capabilities for quantifying uncertainties in coastal hazard simulations. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the University of Texas at Austin will lead efforts to develop and apply a data-to-distribution pipeline using deep learning techniques, scalable data-consistent inversion approaches, and iterative methods for...
- This $134,207 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to transform the scientific community's understanding and forecasting of coastline changes in response to shifting storm climates and sea-level rise. The project will develop new techniques to downscale global climate model outputs to produce detailed forecasts of the winds, waves, and water levels affecting specific coastlines, such as the Carolina...
- This $499,802 federal Project Grant award, funded by 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. The project will leverage Doppler radar wind retrievals and near-surface wind measurements to better understand the low-level wind profiles of landfalling hurricanes. Researchers will use advanced simulation techniques and artificial intelligence to predict...
- This federal Project Grant award of $443,674 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to develop advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models for predicting the initiation and evolution of thunderstorms. The project aims to enable significant breakthroughs in understanding convection initiation dynamics and improving the predictability of hazardous weather events like heavy rainfall, strong winds, hail, and tornadoes. Key objectives...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $1,992,383 to the Concord Consortium Inc., a non-profit research organization, to develop the North Atlantic Storm (NAS) Explorer, an interactive web-based simulation to enhance public understanding of the uncertainties in North Atlantic storm forecasting. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: 1) developing survey instruments to measure public literacy in interpreting probabilistic storm visualizations, attributing forecast uncertainties, and perceiving risk; 2) testing and iterating on the NAS Explorer prototype through design-based research; and 3) evaluating the impact of the simulation-based learning experience on improving public understanding of uncertainty in North Atlantic storm forecasting. This project aims to better inform coastal communities who rely on storm forecasts to assess risk and take protective actions.
