- This $398,891 Disaster Resilience Research Grant (DRRG) project from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) explores participatory transformation of barrier islands to enhance coastal resilience. The key objectives are to: Identify "acceptable" locations for allowing sections of barrier islands to naturally erode and "return to nature" to mitigate flood risks at nearby communities. Quantify reductions in flood risk from these "extreme...
- 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...
- This $473,305 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports collaborative research at the University of Texas at Arlington and Chapman University on home mitigation approaches to reduce hurricane-induced damage. The research aims to advance the understanding of the effectiveness of structural retrofit strategies in protecting coastal households from the combined wind, wave, and surge hazards during hurricanes. The project will develop...
- 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...
- This $303,940 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund collaborative research among Columbia University, Stony Brook University, and City College of New York to develop a science-based approach for understanding and predicting flood-borne debris damage to coastal structures under extreme wind and wave conditions. The research will employ computational fluid dynamics, computational solid mechanics, and laboratory experiments to quantify...
- 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 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 $322,052 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) funds collaborative research on hybrid flow-sediment-structure interaction analysis of extreme scour due to coastal flooding. The Research Foundation for the State University of New York, on behalf of Stony Brook University, will analyze the interaction of water flow, sediment transport, and infrastructure to better understand scour hazards during coastal flooding events. As the NSF Engineering...
- This $245,616 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund collaborative research on assessing damage to coastal structures from waterborne debris impacts under extreme wind and wave conditions. Led by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York on behalf of the City College of New York, the three-year award will support the development of innovative experiments, computational methods, and fragility curves to better understand...
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, wetlands, and reefs work collectively with hard infrastructure to mitigate coastal flooding and erosion. The project leverages field data collected from Hurricanes Laura and Delta in 2020 to develop and validate hydrodynamic, eco-geomorphic, and geotechnical models. The research findings will be shared with the coastal engineering and resource management communities to enhance coastal hazard mitigation strategies. This award also provides training opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students in coastal and geotechnical engineering.
