The USGS is offering this cooperative agreement to a CESU-affiliated partner to conduct research on mapping and characterizing built structures and infrastructure in U.S. coastal areas. This grant is for developing efficient and robust methods, particularly using artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) approaches, for extracting detailed feature inventories from high-resolution remote sensing data and geospatial databases. This information is critical for improving coastal storm hazard modeling by understanding how shoreline features like piers and seawalls affect storm surge propagation. The research also focuses on rapid pre-storm mapping and post-storm damage assessment, including identifying damaged structures and assessing susceptibility based on attributes like structure type and construction material. The overall goal is to enhance coastal resilience and hazard prediction through advanced geospatial techniques.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in mapping and characterizing built structures (buildings) and infrastructure (roads, bridges, railroad, etc.) for use in modeling and assessment of coastal hazards. Built structures and infrastructure elements, such as shoreline features like piers, seawalls, and jetties, affect storm surge propagation onto the land surface, thus a detailed inventory of such features is critical for coastal storm hazard modeling. These features are also impacted greatly by storm effects (wind, waves, water levels), so post-event damage assessment mapping and description is a critical need. Because highly detailed information on coastal structures and infrastructure is needed for broad areas in the U.S. subject to coastal storms, research is needed on efficient and robust methods for feature extraction from high-resolution remote sensing data and other geospatial map databases. USGS is particularly interested in collaborative research into methods for efficient, accurate, and rapid mapping of built structures and infrastructure both before coastal storm events and post-storm (for damage assessment), with an emphasis on artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) approaches.
