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 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, valued at $317,289.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside. The award is for a collaborative research project investigating the coupling between superelevation and gradient advantage in river avulsions, a natural hazard where rivers jump out of their banks and create devastating floods. The project aims to develop a unified theory for the processes that prime...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a two-year, $174,000 Project Grant to researchers at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. The grant aims to experimentally study the dynamics of frozen, cohesive river banks to bridge pore-scale properties with channel-scale dynamics under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system, including the atmospheric,...
- This $500,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will work with California coastal communities to produce research and adaptation strategies that address resiliency in the face of increasing coastal flooding, storm intensity, and storm frequency. The University of California, Berkeley will lead the project, which aims to: 1) develop scenarios for future shorelines, 2) identify knowledge gaps, and 3) evaluate technical assistance tools and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $182,646 to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to develop tools and techniques for the effective management of crevasse systems along the Mississippi River. The project, titled "Coastal Resilience through Effective Versatile Adaptation and Sediment Strategies for Sea-Level Rise Engagement (CREVASSE)," aims to create a framework for incorporating crevasses as part of river management efforts to sustain valuable wetlands while enabling the river to meet the needs of communities and commerce. The project will bring together state and federal resource management agencies, private organizations, environmental advocacy groups, and academic institutions to better understand water and sediment pathways through crevasses and their interactions with the main river. The goal is to support effective management decisions and develop a workforce capable of contributing to long-term planning and adaptive management of the crevasse system, which is expected to become more common in the coming decades due to sea-level rise. The award period is from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2027.
