- 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...
- The University of Alabama received a $233,318 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund collaborative research to extend tree-ring based reconstructions of Atlantic Gulf Basin hydroclimate over the Common Era using old-growth sinker wood. Researchers will collect samples from old-growth bald cypress and longleaf pine trees harvested in the late 19th and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $250,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the University of Virginia. The grant supports the development of new physics-guided graph network models to capture complex, non-stationary, and poorly observed water dynamics in freshwater ecosystems. Key innovations include new graph-based architectures, continual learning strategies, and model initialization methods that leverage...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $458,433 Project Grant to the University of Alabama under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2027. The award will support the development of system analysis and modeling tools to establish a knowledge base for use and discharge of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances in the United States. Specifically, the Principal Investigator will collect and synthesize spatial and temporal data on polyfluoroalkyl and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $359,703 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Alabama for a research project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: MODELING REACTIVE, DENSITY-DRIVEN GROUNDWATER FLOW TO IMPROVE CONTAMINANT REMEDIATION". This 3-year project, running from September 2025 to August 2028, will investigate novel methods for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of injecting chemical solutions underground to degrade...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), has awarded a $702,163 project grant to the University of Alabama. This 3-year collaborative research project, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NSFDEB-NERC: WARMING'S SILVER LINING? THERMAL COMPENSATION AT MULTIPLE LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION MAY PROMOTE STREAM ECOSYSTEM STABILITY IN RESPONSE TO DROUGHT", aims to understand how continued warming and increasing drought will impact the composition and...
This $122,385 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will provide a fellowship to an assistant professor and training for a graduate student at the University of Alabama. The project will be conducted in collaboration with researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to represent streamflow using an advanced hydrologic model, the Advanced Terrestrial Simulator (ATS). The goal is to improve understanding of how headwater stream networks expand and contract in response to intensifying hydrologic disturbance, such as amplified drought durations, in order to protect Alabama's surface water quality, habitat sustainability, and drinking water security. The project period is January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027.
