Project Grant 2615703
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Maryland, College Park $500,000 on August 1, 2026, to develop a data-centric geoscience foundation model for predicting extreme weather events including floods and droughts. The project will construct an artificial intelligence framework using event-manifold learning that treats each extreme event as a coherent, trackable object with spatial footprint and contextual drivers, rather than isolated data...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded the University of Florida $381,298 on September 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct observational and interpretable artificial intelligence research on Florida sea-breeze thunderstorm dynamics. The project will construct a multi-platform convective database integrating operational radar data from the National Weather Service, focused radar data from a 2022 field campaign,...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Florida $600,203 on July 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to characterize drivers, patterns, and probability of prolonged coastal flood hazards across space and time. The project investigates spatiotemporal patterns of flood duration along U.S. coastlines by integrating observational analyses with models to characterize how duration is influenced by oceanographic processes including...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Florida a $353,178 Project Grant (CFDA 47.050, Geosciences) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028, to develop a next-generation generative downscaling framework for geoscience data.

The research will implement novel non-Gaussian data assimilation algorithms for boundary layer profiler data to better incorporate ground-based remote sensing measurements into numerical weather...
- The University of Oklahoma, operating through its Office of Research Administration, was awarded a $155,329 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the atmospheric factors that drive extreme precipitation and flash flooding events in the contiguous United States. The 3-year project aims to develop a comprehensive database of extreme rainfall events, use machine learning techniques to identify the key...
- This Project Grant award of $199,316.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to advance the understanding of how extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall and flooding, may change in response to future climate scenarios. The project, titled "EMBRACE-AGS-SEED: Harnessing the Power of Machine Learning to Generate Ensembles of Regional Climate Projections," will evaluate whether artificial intelligence and machine learning can provide...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research by Texas Tech University to investigate the predictability of severe weather events, such as tornadoes, hail, and flooding, under current and future climate conditions. The $380,904 award, effective from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will involve creating and analyzing large datasets of numerical weather model forecasts to understand how and why the predictability of...
- This $322,555 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports research to develop statistical and machine learning methods for studying the dynamics of weather and climate extremes. The three-year project, with a completion date of July 31, 2025, will focus on three key areas: climate model validation, changepoint estimation for extremes, and integration of multi-model climate ensembles. The research aims to enhance...
- The University of Florida was awarded a $292,448 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Under the three-year award beginning August 1, 2021, the University will research thermodynamic modification of winter storms in a warmer climate. The Division of Sponsored Research will administer the funding on behalf...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Florida $498,884 on August 1, 2026, to develop a data-centric geoscience foundation model for predicting extreme weather events including floods and droughts under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The project will construct an artificial intelligence framework using event-manifold learning to encode extreme events as latent trajectories with spatial footprint and contextual drivers. Lightweight adapter layers enable specialization to extreme weather without retraining large models, while physics-regularized decoding enforces conservation laws to prevent unphysical predictions and generative modeling provides uncertainty estimates. The framework will be demonstrated on flash-flood and drought applications and benchmarked against operational numerical models. All software and data will be publicly released. The project will also train students at the intersection of computing and earth science and produce educational materials for university classrooms. Work is performed in Gainesville, Florida. The period of performance runs from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2029. No subawards are planned. The assistance type is Project Grant.
