The University of Idaho was awarded a $225,658 Project Grant by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements (CFDA 15.560) program. The purpose of this grant is to determine the design parameters for individual floodplain restoration projects that can mitigate the impacts of climate change-induced reductions in summer low flows in the Columbia River Basin. The project will develop design curves and equations to help restoration...
This $181,194 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560) will fund research by the Regents of the University of Idaho to investigate the mechanics of bedrock erosion in unlined spillways of dams. The research will utilize numerical modeling and laboratory experiments to study the flow fields around bedrock blocks and the primary erosional mechanism of block plucking, which is critical for improving models of...
This $645,270 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560) will fund the incorporation of remotely sensed surface and atmospheric variables into a spatially distributed, process-based snowmelt model. The award will support postdoctoral researchers to implement model updates and assess improvements, with the objective of advancing the physically-based and distributed modeling...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $178,705 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho, from August 15, 2023 through July 31, 2026. This award is funded through the NSF's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), which enhances the competitiveness of the nation's research and broadens participation in STEM fields. The project aims to characterize the physical drivers of vegetation-forced...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560) provides $460,000 to Boise State University to develop an evaluation framework and integration guide for incorporating third-party snow water equivalent (SWE) datasets into the Colorado Basin River Forecast Center's (CBRFC) hydrologic modeling. The goal is to leverage newly available SWE data sources beyond the SNOTEL network to enhance the CBRFC's operational...
The Regents of the University of Idaho received a $618,648 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey's Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) to improve hydrological predictions across the continental United States through better characterization of below-ground soil-vegetation processes. The 3-year project aims to enhance water budget predictions by: 1) constraining root zone storage capacity, 2) improving modeling of plant hydraulic...
This $300,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports research at the University of Idaho to enhance water budget simulations across the continental United States. The key objectives are to model vegetation's uptake of rock moisture and evaluate its impact on water budget dynamics, with the goal of improving predictions of water availability and environmental resilience. This collaborative two-year project...
The federal Project Grant award of $574,902 from the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation's Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557) will support the Nevada System of Higher Education's Desert Research Institute in developing a decision support framework to communicate the risk of significant rain-on-snow runoff events in the Mokelumne River watershed. The project aims to integrate tools that will help optimize water resource management and ensure the safe conveyance and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Project Grant award of USD 202,860 to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho, supports a collaborative research study on the vulnerability of cutthroat trout predators and tailed frog prey to climate change in mountain streams of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The research team will use a multidisciplinary approach combining DNA sequencing, physiology experiments, and computer...
