- This $329,272 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the impacts of sea level rise on stemflow dynamics and associated hydrological and biogeochemical processes in coastal forests along the Atlantic seaboard. The University of Delaware, as the prime awardee, will use field measurements, laboratory analyses, and statistical modeling to understand how changes in stemflow (precipitation channeled down tree...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will establish a collaborative network of scientists, engineers, policy experts, and community leaders to develop and implement adaptation solutions for coastal communities in the Northeastern United States. The $119,776 award, with a period of performance from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027, aims to reduce flood risks, protect vulnerable populations from extreme heat, and preserve...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Oregon State University (OSU) for the "NSF R2I2 RESILIENCE INNOVATION INCUBATOR FOR CASCADIA COASTAL HAZARDS" project. The project will address the urgent need for coastal communities in the Pacific Northwest to identify and implement solutions to mitigate the impacts of natural hazards such as flooding, erosion, and landslides. By bringing together community members,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $383,646 Project Grant to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey to conduct collaborative research on hydrogeophysical monitoring and modeling of soil salinization processes in coastal transition zones. The research aims to improve understanding of how subsurface heterogeneity regulates gradual and rapid saltwater intrusion driven by climate change and sea level rise. Key project activities include: Applying...
- This $1,745,708 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program supports a collaborative research project titled "Risks, Impacts, & Strategies for Coastal Communities: Advancing Convergent Science to Support Climate Change Adaptation & Resilience." The project team, led by the University of Delaware, will work with researchers and community stakeholders across three EPSCoR jurisdictions (Delaware, Rhode Island,...
- This $756,237 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a collaborative research project titled "Risks, Impacts, & Strategies for Coastal Communities: Advancing Convergent Science to Support Climate Change Adaptation & Resilience." The project is led by the College of Charleston in partnership with the University of Delaware, University of Rhode Island, University of South Carolina, and other...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Suny ESF, to conduct research on increasing community resilience to inland flooding. The project will collect hyper-local, individual experience data on the response and recovery efforts to Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina to synthesize lessons learned and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $372,431 Project Grant under its Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the University of Maryland, College Park. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NSF R2I2: RESILIENCE IMPLEMENTATION FOR SALT-INTRUDED GEOGRAPHIES (RISING) MID-ATLANTIC", will fund a collaborative effort to develop and implement science-based solutions focused on two key coastal economic sectors: farming and forestry. The project aims to improve regional resilience in the Mid-Atlantic region by extending the life of farms and forest lands, reducing storm surge damage and revenue losses, and supporting regional biodiversity impacted by saltwater intrusion. Key activities include developing novel agricultural easements, web applications to map saltwater intrusion, market development for salt-tolerant crops, and alternative timber harvest strategies. This community-engaged team science approach will translate research into practical solutions to promote the well-being of rural coastal communities affected by saltwater intrusion. The grant period of performance is from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027.
