Project Grant R13AP20024

This Project Grant award of $700,000 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is focused on improving computational models that describe the relationship between climate and streamflow. The project aims to address uncertainty in these models caused by the influence of human actions on the water cycle, with a specific focus on representing the impacts of dams, which control about 75% of annual runoff in the continental United States. The project will develop a...

This five-year, $248,355 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the development of an integrated hydrologic model to better understand groundwater dynamics in the Great Lakes Basin. The research team at Bowling Green State University, serving as primary awardee, will fuse hydrologic modeling with GPS, satellite imagery, and GRACE data to more accurately simulate surface and subsurface water flows. Through data assimilation, the project...

This five-year, $289,251 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the development of an integrated hydrologic model to better understand groundwater dynamics in the Great Lakes Basin. The grantee, Southern Methodist University, will fuse hydrologic modeling with GPS, satellite imagery, and GRACE data to more accurately simulate surface and subsurface flows.

This $290,925 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to investigate the impacts of managed aquifer recharge (MAR) on the water balance in California's intensively managed Central Valley region. The research employs a hybrid modeling approach that integrates hydrologic models with machine learning to gain detailed insights into water movement through the regional aquifer system and how MAR expansion will...

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) to the Nye County Water District (NCWD) in Nevada. The grant supports NCWD's efforts, with assistance from partner organizations, to incorporate new hydrologic data into the Pahrump Valley Basin groundwater model and develop a predictive model. The goals are to improve groundwater management and forecasting capabilities within the Pahrump Valley to address water resource...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $303,703 to develop a novel approach for characterizing hydrostratigraphy using water level data collected from multi-level monitoring wells. The University of Iowa will collect water level measurements every 10 seconds from 10 to 15 depths in monitoring wells located at a contaminated groundwater site. Analyzing the response of water levels to rainfall and pumping changes will help delineate the...

This five-year, $800,071 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of an integrated hydrologic model to better understand groundwater dynamics in the Great Lakes Basin. The awardee, Michigan Technological University, will fuse hydrologic modeling with GPS, satellite imagery, and GRACE data to more accurately simulate surface and subsurface flows. Through data assimilation, the project will produce historical and forecast...

This $300,236 National Science Foundation project grant will fund collaborative research exploring the influence of agricultural tile drainage on streamflow and water temperatures in the Midwestern United States. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen the national scientific enterprise, this research will develop quantile regression models to examine how tile drainage alters streamflow and water...

This $117,414 five-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the development of an integrated hydrologic model to better understand groundwater dynamics in the Great Lakes Basin. The University of Arizona, on behalf of the State of Arizona, will fuse hydrologic modeling with GPS, satellite imagery, and Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) data to more accurately simulate surface and subsurface flows. Through data...

This five-year, $957,349 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the development of an integrated hydrologic model to better understand groundwater dynamics in the Great Lakes Basin. Michigan State University, as prime awardee, will fuse hydrologic modeling with GPS, satellite imagery, and GRACE data to more accurately simulate surface and subsurface flows. This represents the first integration of geodesy measurements, remote sensing of...
