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 $128,194.60 Project Grant to the Virginia Department of Energy under the USGS Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821). The funding will support the creation of a comprehensive landslide inventory map for Grayson County, Virginia, which was significantly impacted by landslides during Hurricane Helene in 2024. The project will involve remote and field mapping of modern and ancient landslide features using...
This $164,006 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research initiative to enhance community resilience to landslide hazards in underserved rural, isolated, and small communities (RISC) in southwestern Puerto Rico. The primary objectives are to: (1) establish new partnerships with federal and local stakeholders to facilitate data access and coordinated disaster response; (2) co-produce research questions and...
The West Virginia Geological & Economic Survey is the recipient of a $123,555.76 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (CFDA 15.814). The grant will fund a 2-year project from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2026 to improve preservation and accessibility of the Survey's geological samples and data. Key activities include: Transferring crushed rock samples from deteriorating bags to plastic...
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 award period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2026. The project will utilize statewide LiDAR data to map landslide-prone areas in the USGS Bedford, Jasper, and Tell City quadrangles at a 1:4,000 scale, with limited field...
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...
This $324,522 federal Project Grant award from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821) will fund the development of a comprehensive landslide inventory and susceptibility maps for the Cincinnati, Ohio and Northern Kentucky region. The key deliverables include: A landslide inventory map created using change detection analysis on repeat LiDAR surveys to identify and document landslides across the region Landslide...
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....
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $147,142.30, was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (CFDA 15.814). The primary objectives of the award are to: Purchase a new benchtop X-ray diffraction (XRD) device to collect analytical data on potential critical mineral resources from the West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey's (WVGES) legacy geological samples. This will enhance WVGES's capabilities to analyze...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to develop new technologies that integrate advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) with established geoscientific domain knowledge to enhance understanding of landslide causality. The $674,291 award, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2027, will enable the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) to:...
