- 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...
- This $499,802 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), aims to improve coastal community resilience to hurricane wind-related hazards and potential compounding hazards. The project will leverage Doppler radar wind retrievals and near-surface wind measurements to better understand the low-level wind profiles of landfalling hurricanes. Researchers will use advanced simulation techniques and artificial intelligence to predict...
- The National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded $122,636 to the University of Miami under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on September 1, 2025, for a collaborative research project examining tropical cyclone vortex characteristics using LIUTEX (Liutex is a vector-based mathematical framework for identifying and quantifying vortices in fluid dynamics). The primary deliverable involves applying LIUTEX methodology to observational and numerical modeling...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $913,557.00 to The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) for the "Boundary-Layer Evolution and Structure of Tornadoes (BEST)" project. The goal of this multi-year research effort is to better understand the structure, intensity, and evolution of tornado winds through advanced field observations. The project will deploy mobile radars, tornado pods, and swarmsonde balloons to...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a study on the role of land surface conditions in the maintenance of Hurricane Helene after it made landfall in Florida in September 2024. The $154,118 award, granted on November 15, 2024, will be used by the University of Texas at Austin to investigate precipitation, land-atmosphere feedbacks, and the "brown ocean effect" during the hurricane. The research team will...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $698,967 to the University of Oklahoma will fund research to understand how the extratropical transition of hurricanes impacts tornadoes and their associated thunderstorms. The project aims to examine how tornado frequency and supercell characteristics vary with hurricane traits during the extratropical transition process using observational data analysis and high-resolution modeling. The research...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $409,127 provides funding from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026 to support collaborative research on hurricane risk amplification and changing North Atlantic natural disasters. The award is made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the funding will support research examining hurricanes...
- This $529,671 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, supports research at the University of Arizona to comprehensively assess the processes governing over-ocean tropical cyclone weakening. The project aims to advance fundamental understanding of hurricanes that weaken while still over the ocean, rather than intensifying, in order to improve forecasting of these events and mitigate risks to vulnerable coastal populations. Key activities...
