The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $261,123 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Oregon (UO) to conduct a comprehensive study of the Cascadia subduction zone, focusing on seismic and tsunami activity around the year 1700 CE. The key objectives are to: Map high-resolution paleotsunami deposits at two key locations along the Cascadia subduction zone, and Execute thousands of advanced tsunami inundation models to test hypotheses about...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program, CFDA 47.050, totaling $227,245, aims to advance knowledge of tsunami hazards along the Cascadia subduction zone in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The award to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, doing business as Virginia Tech, will fund high-resolution mapping of paleotsunami deposits and advanced tsunami inundation modeling over a 3-year period from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2027. This...

This $499,286 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to reconstruct the pattern, timing, and magnitude of past earthquakes and tsunamis along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone over the last 2,000 years. The researchers at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University will employ innovative paleogeodetic methods and tsunami simulations to quantify vertical deformation and map the spatial distribution of tsunami...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808), provides $239,278 to the University of Washington to conduct research focused on three main topics: Modeling flood hazards in river delta systems, with a focus on the Nooksack River and understanding the impacts of morphological changes on flooding under future sea level rise scenarios. Developing a conceptual framework for modeling compound flood hazards in...
