The USGS is offering a grant to a CESU partner for research on coastal processes using advanced models for predicting barrier island evolution. The project will develop an integrated modeling approach using the ADCIRC model to assess barrier island response to short-term and long-term factors like storms and sea level rise. The research aims to aid management decision making for future storm impacts and rising sea levels affecting coastal communities and ecosystems. Closing date: Jun 11, 2019.

| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research to investigate coastal processes of mutual interest and push forward the use of coupled state-of-the-art models (sea-level rise, tide, wave, river flow, sediment transport, storm-driven morphology) for predicting barrier island evolution along U.S. coastlines. The research in this project is expected to result in the development of a new integrated modeling approach that includes the use of the ADCIRC model to assess barrier island response over short time periods (e.g., individual storms) and over the longer term (e.g., many storm cycles and including changes in sea level). This will inform management decision making, including planning for the impacts of future storms and sea level rise that are expected to impact coastal communities and ecosystems. |
