This Project Grant award, valued at $299,789.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program. The goal of the project is to develop a new understanding of how Forecast-Informed Reservoir Operations (FIRO) can be used to improve ecosystem management while also meeting water supply, flood management, and other high priority objectives in the western Nevada region. The award will fund a collaboration between researchers at the...
The federal Project Grant award of $574,902 from the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation's Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) will support the Nevada System of Higher Education's Desert Research Institute in developing a decision support framework to communicate the risk of significant rain-on-snow runoff events in the Mokelumne River watershed. The project aims to integrate tools that will help optimize water resource management and ensure the safe conveyance and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $247,686 Project Grant to the University of Nevada, Reno under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2025. The grant will fund research to understand how wildfire severity affects the formation of disinfection byproducts at downstream drinking water treatment plants. Specifically, the principal investigator and a graduate student will characterize organic matter from a past wildfire using new analytical...
This $197,844 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a planning project to address knowledge gaps and co-design scientific approaches to proactively mitigate hazards and reduce risks associated with post-fire debris flows and floods. The University of Arizona, as the prime awardee, will collaborate with the Yavapai County Flood Control District to develop research questions that will enhance understanding of fire...
This $250,000 Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Cooperative Research Units (CFDA 15.812) program, will fund a 5-year research project to assess drought vulnerability and landscape conditions in watersheds across the western United States. The key activities include: 1) identifying assessment components and indicators of drought resiliency for a pilot watershed in Oregon, 2) expanding and testing the assessment approach across three additional...
This $619,990 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey's Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) will fund a comprehensive hydrologic modeling framework to enhance flood resilience and water resource management in the Willamette River Basin. The project, led by Oregon State University (OSU) with a sub-award to Portland State University (PSU), will leverage advanced technologies like AI and machine learning to integrate USGS streamflow observations...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $829,191 to Oregon State University to conduct research aimed at understanding how wildfires affect water resources in the Pacific Northwest. The project will investigate the impacts of varying wildfire intensity and soil conditions on snow accumulation, melt, and underground water storage in the Willamette National Forest. Key activities include snow surveys, geophysical measurements, soil...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805), will fund a $620,000 research project from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2028. The project aims to evaluate the vulnerability of urban, agricultural, and ecological sectors in the Southern Ogallala Aquifer region to drought and wildfires, as well as the impacts of adaptation strategies on reducing this vulnerability. Key research...
This $425,988 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to reconstruct precipitation and snowpack patterns in the south-central Sierra Nevada, California during the Holocene epoch. The project aims to use an interdisciplinary approach involving geomorphic field investigations, luminescence geochronology, and hydrologic modeling to develop detailed water-level records and understand long-term climate variability in...
The National Science Foundation awarded $712,190 to Arizona State University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the project "CAS-CLIMATE: A NOVEL PROCESS-DRIVEN METHOD FOR FLOOD FREQUENCY ANALYSIS BASED ON MIXED DISTRIBUTIONS." The award period is from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The project will develop a new approach to flood frequency analysis that incorporates the effects of multiple physical mechanisms leading to flood generation. Researchers will identify...
