- This $550,000 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of data-driven physics-informed machine learning models to predict flood-induced flow and sediment dynamics. Over a four-year period ending June 2027, the grantee will improve existing high-fidelity numerical modeling tools and apply them to evaluate flood impacts on infrastructure stability in large waterways. They will then use simulation results to inform and...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded The Research Foundation For The State University of New York $677,967 on August 1, 2026, to develop physics-informed artificial intelligence emulators for stratosphere-troposphere coupling under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The project addresses a critical gap in current AI weather and climate models: they forecast near-surface conditions accurately but fail to represent the stratosphere and its connection to...
- This $322,052 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) funds collaborative research on hybrid flow-sediment-structure interaction analysis of extreme scour due to coastal flooding. The Research Foundation for the State University of New York, on behalf of Stony Brook University, will analyze the interaction of water flow, sediment transport, and infrastructure to better understand scour hazards during coastal flooding events. As the NSF Engineering...
- This three-year, $267,089 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at Stony Brook University to improve understanding and modeling of flood-borne debris impacts on coastal structures. Using computational fluid dynamics, computational solid mechanics, and laboratory experiments, the researchers will quantify critical mechanics processes involved in water-wind-debris-structure interactions. Specific tasks include innovative...

The project, titled "Collaborative Research: CAIG: Transforming Understanding and Prediction of Nearshore Processes via AI-Powered Simultaneous Mapping of Bathymetry, Waves, and Currents," will...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York $525,530 on August 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for collaborative research advancing long-term temperature reconstruction using physics-informed neural networks through lake model emulation. The project develops a machine-learning framework to replace traditional physics-based lake models with AI-derived surrogates that dramatically...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences awarded a $384,940 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University of New York to support research titled "Geospatial Artificial Intelligence Approaches for Understanding Location Descriptions in Natural Disasters and Their Spatial Biases" from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2026. The award will fund research using artificial intelligence techniques to analyze location descriptions in...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution $699,975 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop a physics-informed artificial intelligence method for estimating seafloor topography in coastal surf zones using remotely sensed drone imagery and surface current observations. The research addresses the limitation that accurate seafloor depth measurements are difficult to obtain during coastal storms, which...
- Federal Grant Award Summary New York University received a $714,230 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) effective October 1, 2025, with completion targeted for September 30, 2028. The award supports collaborative research to develop the first multiscale artificial intelligence (AI) ocean emulator capable of spanning submesoscales to large-scale ocean flows. The primary deliverable is a three-dimensional...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded The Research Foundation For The State University of New York, operating as Stony Brook University, $537,060 on October 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop a physics-informed multimodal artificial intelligence framework for inferring hidden urban flood controls from unstructured evidence such as reports, photographs, and videos. The recipient will establish flood datasets and physics-based simulation benchmarks focused on greater New York; advance geospatial-aware language and vision technologies to estimate flood depth from unstructured evidence with quantified uncertainty; design inversion-enabled surrogate flood models that use sparse depth constraints to infer latent drainage and surface-flow controls; and analyze how inferred controls vary across storms, urban forms, and cities. The work supports flood-risk assessment, infrastructure planning, student training, and public understanding of urban flooding and artificial intelligence through shared data, software, and educational outreach. Performance occurs in Stony Brook, New York, with a period of performance from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029. No sub-awards are planned.
