Project Grant 2540209
- 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...

The University of Delaware will lead laboratory experiments, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulations to expand understanding of three-dimensional flow and sediment transport patterns in the swash zone under a range of wave conditions and angles of incidence....
- This $347,172 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Northeastern University to develop integrated numerical modeling of hurricane impacts on natural and hybrid coastal infrastructure. The Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation award falls under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to foster innovation and excellence in engineering research. Researchers will leverage field data from Hurricanes Laura and Delta in 2020 to model wetland...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to transform the understanding of how coastlines respond to shifts in storm climate patterns. The $893,081 award to Duke University, with a project period from August 2024 to July 2027, will develop new approaches to downscale global climate model outputs to forecast the waves and winds affecting specific coastlines, such as the Carolina coastline. This...
- This $134,207 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to transform the scientific community's understanding and forecasting of coastline changes in response to shifting storm climates and sea-level rise. The project will develop new techniques to downscale global climate model outputs to produce detailed forecasts of the winds, waves, and water levels affecting specific coastlines, such as the Carolina...
- This $423,690 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of Florida to develop a debris damage vulnerability assessment platform and interactive augmented reality tool. Funded under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the three-year award running from July 2022 to June 2025 aims to advance understanding of windborne debris transport in urban areas through wind tunnel experiments, data-driven computer simulations, and physics-based models. Researchers...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) is funding a collaborative research project between the University of Texas at Arlington and Chapman University to advance the understanding of home mitigation strategies that can reduce damage to coastal households from hurricane wind, wave, and surge hazards. The $133,453 award, which runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, will develop and evaluate a multi-level interdisciplinary...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Early-Concept Grant for Experimental Research (EAGER) Project Grant, awarded under CFDA 47.041 - Engineering program, provides $123,320 to the University of Florida to conduct a longitudinal investigation of two hurricane-generated barrier island breaches in southwest Florida. The high-risk, high-outcome study aims to improve understanding of the physical processes, impacts, and coastal management challenges associated with barrier island breaches, which represent a major mechanism for tidal inlet formation, dune and beach erosion, and coastal infrastructure damage. The research will collect comprehensive data over multiple seasons to reveal new insights into the roles of hydrodynamics, land cover, and sediment properties on breach evolution, as well as the impacts of newly formed inlets on coastal infrastructure systems. The data collected is expected to become a benchmark dataset for the wider coastal research community to calibrate and validate numerical and physical models, and develop new concepts and theories regarding the geomorphological evolution of storm-induced barrier island breaches.
