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...
This $106,512 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821) will support the development of a comprehensive landslide inventory for south-central Indiana. The Indiana Geological and Water Survey (IGWS) at Indiana University will utilize statewide LiDAR data to map landslide-prone areas and conduct field investigations to validate landslide locations and characteristics. The project aims to...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $116,910 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the USGS Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821). The project will map previously unidentified landslides, refine boundaries of existing landslides, and characterize the geologic settings prone to landslides in four study areas in Yavapai County, Arizona. Key activities include using LiDAR data to preliminarily identify and map suspected landslides, conducting...
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 $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 (DNR). This two-year grant will fund the creation of a comprehensive landslide inventory for a 250 square mile area in western Clark County, Washington. The DNR will use LiDAR technology to map landslides, alluvial fans, and rock fall deposits in the targeted region. The resulting...
The University of Kentucky Research Foundation was awarded a $324,522 Project Grant from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821). The purpose of this 2-year project, running from November 1, 2025 to October 31, 2027, is to produce a comprehensive landslide inventory and susceptibility maps for the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region. This will be achieved through change detection analysis of repeat LiDAR surveys to...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports research at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to advance the understanding of rainfall-triggered landslides and their consequences, considering vegetation effects and climate change. The $570,960 award, effective March 1, 2024 through February 28, 2029, aims to: (1) develop numerical analysis methods to incorporate the hydromechanical effects...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $375,266 Project Grant under the Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821) to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the period of July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027. The grant will support mapping debris flow hazards and establishing baseline debris flow activity rates in pre- and post-wildfire environments across two counties in Washington state. Key activities include mapping alluvial fans and...
The Utah Geological Survey (UGS) was awarded a $302,494.30 Project Grant from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821) to conduct landslide inventory mapping in Salt Lake, Summit, and Utah Counties in Utah. The project period runs from July 15, 2024 through April 14, 2026. The UGS will map landslides across 12 contiguous 7.5 quadrangle areas along the Wasatch Front and Back regions, an area with significant transportation,...
The Virginia Department of Energy received a $746,312.20 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey's National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810). The funding will provide new digital geologic maps and stratigraphic information to meet the specific needs of Virginia and support the development of a comprehensive national digital geologic map. Key deliverables include: PDF versions of new geologic maps for five 7.5-minute quadrangles and two 30x60-minute...
