This grant is for supporting the USGS Sea-level Rise Hazards and Decision Support Project focusing on the Delmarva Peninsula and Assateague Island National Seashore. Its core purpose is to investigate how geologic framework, shoreline change, and hydrogeology interact to drive coastal and habitat transformation. Funding is available for field studies assisting with core and geophysical data collection, including sample acquisition for laboratory analysis. It also supports technical assistance for synthesizing existing geophysical data to characterize the Seashore’s hydrogeologic framework. This research aims to improve understanding and predictive models for coastal change and sea-level rise hazard assessment.

| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The USGS Sea-level Rise Hazards and Decision Support Project is a five year effort focused initially on the Delmarva Peninsula and Assateague Island National Seashore. This project will investigate the interactions of geologic framework, shoreline change, and hydrogeology driving coastal and habitat change using geophysical surveys, oceanographic studies, and predictive models.
The USGS is offering a funding opportunity for field studies to assist in core and geophysical data collection, and for the development of syntheses of existing geophysical data in the Seashore. Field assistance includes collecting samples during coring operations within the Seashore, including description and subsampling of geologic materials for later analysis using sedimentologic and radiochronologic methods. Technical assistance to provide a synthesis of existing geophysical data (well logs, ground-penetrating radar, electrical resistivity) relevant to characterizing the hydrogeologic framework of the Seashore. |
