The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Alabama $1,309,231 on January 1, 2027, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate how marine heatwaves influence rapid intensification of tropical cyclones and resulting compound coastal flooding hazards. The project develops Bayesian deep learning methods and physics-informed artificial intelligence integrated with numerical models to quantify predictive uncertainty and enable near-real-time hazard assessment. Research focuses on storm surge, rainfall, and wind changes associated with tropical cyclones intensifying over unusually warm ocean waters, using Mobile Bay, Alabama, and Galveston Bay, Texas, as complementary study regions. A tiered modeling framework will benchmark advanced machine learning approaches against operational and nonlinear baseline models to ensure robust, reproducible predictions transferable across coastal environments. The work includes training graduate students and a postdoctoral researcher in artificial intelligence and coastal hazard science, with all data, models, and software released openly to support future research and innovation. Performance runs from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2029, at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The award funds fundamental research aimed at improving emergency planning and coastal resilience by providing actionable risk information to decision-makers facing increasingly destructive tropical cyclones and compound flooding threats in warming climate conditions.
