This federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the USGS Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821) provides $200,138 to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation to conduct research mapping and assessing landslide hazards in Eastern Kentucky. The key products to be delivered include: Two comprehensive landslide inventories - a historical inventory and an event-based inventory documenting over 1,000 landslides triggered by a major...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $598,500 project grant under the USGS Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821) to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. The 2-year grant, with a period of performance from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2026, will fund the creation of a detailed landslide inventory for a 250 square mile area in western Clark County, Washington. Key deliverables include a final report and a geodatabase containing...
This $859,061 cooperative agreement awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810) provides funding to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) to support new and compilation geologic mapping projects in North Carolina. The key deliverables include: Bedrock geologic maps at 1:100,000 scale for the northern half of the Gastonia and Southern Pines quadrangles, along with associated digital geodatabases. A new...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $116,910 Project Grant under the USGS Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents. The grant will fund a 1-year project from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026 to map landslides in four study areas within Yavapai County, Arizona that are highly susceptible to landslides. The key activities include: 1) preliminarily identifying and mapping suspected...
North Carolina State University was awarded a $149,456 Project Grant from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Earthquake Hazards Program Assistance (CFDA 15.807) to develop a new predictive model for lateral spreading and improve regional-scale estimates of lateral displacement. Key deliverables under the one-year award include a new empirical predictive model incorporating geomorphic variables, a curated electronic database of lateral spreading case studies and associated metadata, and...
The Utah Geological Survey (UGS) received a $302,494 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821). The funding will support UGS in conducting landslide inventory mapping along the Wasatch Front and Back regions of Utah, covering 12 contiguous 7.5-minute quadrangles. This work will help identify and characterize landslide hazards in areas experiencing rapid urban expansion into steeper slope areas,...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $218,998 to North Carolina State University from March 2023 through February 2026. The funding supports research to develop and test a new technique for forecasting geohazards such as landslides, submarine slides, ground fissures, and liquefaction. Specifically, the researchers aim to determine if measurements of the density of excited vibrational modes (DOM) in natural sediments can provide a...
This $140,335 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821) supports two key activities in Oregon: Landslide inventory mapping using LiDAR data in the northern portion of Clackamas County. This region has experienced historic landslides and debris flows, and continues to undergo development along a major highway corridor. The detailed mapping will benefit local communities by identifying areas at risk....
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $154,398 Project Grant under the USGS Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821) to the University of Arizona to map geologic hazards at First Mesa in northeastern Arizona. The 1-year project aims to: 1) create baseline geologic and topographic maps of landslide hazards, 2) provide education and outreach materials to tribal entities, and 3) present findings to tribal leaders and groups to develop mitigation strategies....
The U.S. Geological Survey's National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810) awarded a $293,961.74 Cooperative Agreement to the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) to produce geologic hazard maps for Northampton County and the Catawissa Quadrangle in Pennsylvania. The project period runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2026. The grant will fund the development of 1:50,000-scale bedrock geologic maps highlighting areas susceptible to karst...
