The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of South Alabama $247,885 on February 1, 2027, under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to support an EPSCOR Research Fellows project developing physics-informed artificial intelligence methods for estuarine prediction and data assimilation. The recipient will provide a fellowship to a research assistant professor and training for a graduate student to investigate physics-informed AI and machine learning techniques that integrate physical laws with data-driven learning to predict coastal water movement and water quality. The research develops and validates physics-informed neural operator frameworks that emulate computationally intensive partial differential equation solvers for time-dependent advection-diffusion-reaction processes in coastal environments. The work integrates a 50-year high-resolution hydrographic hindcast with a decade of water-quality observations to evaluate the reliability and generalizability of these frameworks for representing coupled physical-biogeochemical processes, improving computational efficiency while preserving physical fidelity and predictive accuracy. The project supports STEM workforce development in AI-enabled marine and environmental science and strengthens Alabama's research capacity in coastal ocean modeling. Dr. Ruoying He at North Carolina State University collaborates on the research. Period of performance runs from February 1, 2027 through January 31, 2029, with work performed in Mobile, Alabama.
