The National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities awarded $253,394 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa through the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) under the EPSCOR Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) Research Fellows initiative. Effective May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2028, this project grant provides fellowship support to an Assistant Professor and graduate student training while establishing a collaborative research partnership with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. The primary deliverable is the development of multi-disciplinary Earth science research capabilities focused on constraining uncertainty in glacier model projections and quantifying future glacial runoff through the 21st century using integrated Earth system models and large-scale glacier evolution models. Beyond research outcomes, the award delivers secondary products including STEM workforce development through graduate and undergraduate training in team-based, remote-work research practices; faculty professional advancement through knowledge transfer in glaciology and innovative modeling approaches; and institutional capacity building at the University of Hawaii. The research findings will inform mitigation strategies for socioeconomic effects of drought in downstream communities dependent on glacial runoff while contributing to Hawaii's STEM workforce pipeline through employment-focused training and retention initiatives in government, academia, and industry sectors.Federal Grant Award Summary
