Project Grant P17AP00342

This Project Grant, awarded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300), provides $1,435,999.44 to conduct fundamental research on the geomechanics of littoral mud flats and shorelines. The goal is to develop a comprehensive understanding of these environments to enable reliable prediction of geomorphodynamics, trafficability, and navigation through satellite imagery and geoacoustic surveying. The project involves field data...

The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) has awarded a $122,606 Project Grant to the Marine Environmental Sciences Consortium, doing business as Dauphin Island Sea Lab, to host a 3-year Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. The program will bring 8 undergraduates to the Dauphin Island Sea Lab each summer to participate in 10-week guided research projects and a professional development program focused on understanding how marine and estuarine ecosystems...

The Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works totals $284,466 to evaluate the influence of water level on wave attenuation of natural and nature-based features in low- to high-energy environments. Funded under the Basic, Applied, and Advanced Research in Science and Engineering program (CFDA 12.630), the award will support applied research at the Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey from April 2022 to April 2025. The...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded $363,243 under the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Science, Observation, Monitoring, and Technology program to the University of New Orleans from September 2021 to August 2023. Through this cooperative agreement, the University of New Orleans will develop a plan to assist in restoring seagrass beds in the Pensacola and Perdido Bays region for increased resilience to climate stress. An interdisciplinary team of researchers and...

This $302,035 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund an observational study at Texas A&M University to quantify the impact of nearshore processes on air-sea momentum transfer. The project aims to identify and systematically measure coastal processes and features that alter nearshore air-sea momentum exchange, leveraging an extensive data set collected at the Army Field Research Facility...

This Cooperative Agreement award of $126,663 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provides funding to support research and monitoring activities under the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Science, Observation, Monitoring, and Technology program. Specifically, the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and its parent organization the University of Texas System will carry out assessments of ecosystem recovery in the Bahia Grande estuarine complex, located within the Laguna...

This Project Grant award, valued at $469,000.00, was provided by the Office of Naval Research under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300) to support fundamental and applied research on littoral mud flats and shorelines, with a focus on understanding the interactions between soil, sea, ice, air, and benthic life. The award aims to fund research activities led by the University of Florida, including participation in a workshop to discuss tidal flat environments and...

Northwest Research Associates, Inc., dba Nwra, was awarded a $700,510 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on March 1, 2021, with a completion date of February 28, 2025. The award is part of the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen and enhance the national scientific enterprise through the expansion of fundamental knowledge and increased understanding of the integrated...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate the interactions between internal waves and submesoscale currents in the ocean's bottom boundary layer. The total award is $418,382 over a period of 3 years, from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027. The research will combine theoretical concepts, analyses of existing measurements, and computer modeling to assess how these wave-current interactions affect mixing and...

This $1,900,000 Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469) is intended to catalyze climate resilience work in underserved and under-resourced communities in coastal Louisiana. The project will: Enhance awareness of pathways for increasing climate resilience in these communities. Provide capacity-building support to at least four under-resourced communities to overcome...
