The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Texas at Austin $450,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop computational tools for understanding coastal groundwater and ocean exchange using machine learning. The project will create a next-generation computational framework that combines neural operators with an open-source coupling framework to build hybrid physics-aware surrogate models emulating computationally intensive groundwater and ocean simulations while maintaining conservation laws at the land-sea boundary. The work addresses coastal risks including seawater intrusion into freshwater aquifers and submarine groundwater discharge, enabling faster forecasting to support water management and infrastructure planning decisions in vulnerable coastal regions. The project will produce open-source software, visualization tools, and interdisciplinary training for students and early-career researchers. Performance occurs in Austin, Texas, with a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system across atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences.
