Project Grant 2519712
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering (47.041) Project Grant of $396,200 was awarded to The University of Texas at Arlington on November 1, 2021 to support research through October 31, 2023. The grant aims to leverage crowdsourced data to assess spatiotemporal patterns of resilience in diverse Gulf Coast communities impacted by natural hazards. Products and services will include analysis of how crowdsourced data can measure community resilience following disasters. A sub-award of...
- This federal Project Grant award of $253,335.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports a collaborative research project between Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees) and partners. The key focus is to integrate numerical modeling and field observations of hurricane impacts on natural and hybrid (natural and engineered) coastal infrastructure. The research aims to improve understanding of how natural elements like barrier islands, dunes,...
- This $555,778 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research on understanding how compound flood mechanisms influence decision-making about shoreline adaptation in multi-jurisdictional governance systems and how those decisions modify future flood risk patterns in coastal communities. The project, titled "CAREER: INTEGRATED MODELING OF FLOOD INTERDEPENDENCIES AND ADAPTATION RESPONSES TO EVALUATE PATHWAYS FOR COASTAL...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program awarded a $400,523 Project Grant to the University of Houston System to conduct collaborative research on the impacts of climate variability and extreme weather events on coastal ecosystems. The research aims to understand how mangrove forests and salt marsh plant communities respond and recover after severe freeze events, which can dramatically alter these coastal habitats. The project will document...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to transform the understanding of how coastlines respond to shifts in storm climate patterns. The $893,081 award to Duke University, with a project period from August 2024 to July 2027, will develop new approaches to downscale global climate model outputs to forecast the waves and winds affecting specific coastlines, such as the Carolina coastline. This...
- This $150,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Texas A&M University examining decision-making around evolving coastal flood risks. The grantee will develop an integrated framework combining risk modeling, economic sorting models, and social behavior models to understand how residential location choices are impacted by changing flood conditions and flood control infrastructure investments. This will quantify changes in...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $252,096 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research quantifying energy fluxes on coral reefs from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. The research will combine emerging technologies to examine how characteristics of small coral reef patches such as temperature, wave energy, architecture, and cryptic species assemblages shape reliance on different organisms to sustain larger reef fishes....
- This $199,476 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports collaborative research led by Texas A&M University to investigate the impacts of climate variability on coastal wetland ecosystems. The project aims to document the successional pathways and recovery of mangroves and salt marsh plants following hard freeze events that can devastate mangrove populations at the northern edges of their geographic range. The...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $109,866 to the University of North Texas to conduct a multi-proxy study to discriminate between marine and terrestrial sediments in coastal wetlands. The research aims to improve understanding of the relative contributions of marine and terrestrial sources to compound flooding events caused by hurricane impacts, which have intensified due to climate change. The study will employ...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under CFDA 47.050 Geosciences to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) for the project "Assessing and Accelerating Living Shoreline in the US Gulf Coast for Resilience and Habitat Restoration." This interdisciplinary project aims to develop and evaluate a novel, nature-inspired "Living Engineered Reef System" designed to simultaneously protect coastal areas, store carbon dioxide, and restore marine habitats. By integrating earth sciences, materials engineering, biological sciences, and advanced technologies like AI and remote sensing, the project will assess the scalability and cost-effectiveness of this solution through a pilot study and stakeholder engagement. The ultimate goal is to lay the groundwork for large-scale adoption of this integrated coastal resilience approach to address challenges faced by the Texas Gulf Coast region, including severe flooding, habitat loss, and rising emissions.
