- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $174,000 to fund research from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2024. 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 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) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) award provides $219,444 to Louisiana State University to conduct a collaborative research project on discriminating 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 driven by recent increases in hurricane strength, precipitation, and storm surges due to climate change. The...
- This $250,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Louisiana State University Agricultural Center (LSU AgCenter) for the "REDDDOT PHASE 2: CLIMATE-INFORMED FLOOD RISK MITIGATION SANDBOX" project. The project aims to develop and implement an innovative, interactive flood mitigation software application platform that allows stakeholders to explore, simulate, and evaluate current and future floodplain ordinance impacts on...
- This $259,328 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Tulane University to develop novel methods for real-time streamflow estimation and forecasting. The University will integrate direct measurements with numerical models to more accurately capture short-term flood wave propagation effects and seasonal impacts of riparian vegetation changes. Researchers will combine experimental, data-driven, and physics-based modeling to enable...
- This $499,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research investigating the impacts of climate change on coastal communities in an urban environment. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award (August 2024 - July 2027) include: Analysis of the alignment between water infrastructure, policies, and practices with emerging climate and environmental challenges such as...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded a $274,573 Project Grant to the University of Alabama Office for Sponsored Programs Division under CFDA Program #47.041 Engineering. The award, which runs from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2028, will fund research to develop a resilience assessment framework that tracks the accumulated costs of nuisance floods as an indicator of sea-level rise. The project aims to use this information to...
- 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...
This $182,680 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project titled "Coastal Resilience through Effective Versatile Adaptation and Sediment Strategies for Sea-Level Rise Engagement (CREVASSE)". The project, led by the Water Institute of the Gulf, aims to develop tools and techniques to effectively manage crevasses - openings in river levees that allow water and sediment to flow into surrounding wetlands - as a means of rebuilding Louisiana's rapidly disappearing coastal wetlands. The research will engage state and federal resource agencies, nonprofits, and academic institutions to create a framework for incorporating crevasse management into overall river and coastal resilience planning. The project runs from September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2027 and seeks to provide a firmer understanding of sediment transport and wetland restoration through crevasse systems, enabling more systematic management of this critical coastal adaptation strategy.
