The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded $990,230 to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on July 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate coastal sea-level dynamics and high-tide flooding along U.S. coastlines. The five-year project (completion June 30, 2031) will deliver research products analyzing how three key oceanographic processes—river water discharge, cross-shelf water exchange, and shelf water warming—influence coastal sea-level trends and their timing relative to high-tide flooding events. Through analysis of existing numerical ocean models and observational datasets across multiple timescales (sub-daily to multi-decadal), the project will generate science-based projections and recommendations to inform coastal resilience managers' hazard mitigation strategies. The research deliverables will include detailed quantification of sea-level responses to river discharge, identification of coupled ocean-atmosphere modes affecting coastal flooding, and characterization of local ocean dynamics as controls on U.S. coastal sea-level changes. The project incorporates workforce development through training of undergraduate and graduate students in coastal oceanography and public outreach via a series of radio stories on coastal sea-level rise, thereby contributing both scientific knowledge and educational capacity in this critical area of coastal hazard research.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
