I-Corps: Automated pavement condition survey system to improve cost-effectiveness
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a more cost-effective, automated, pavement condition data collection system. In a pavement man...
CAREER: Dynamics of surface rupturing thrust earthquakes
Surface rupturing thrust earthquakes are particularly troublesome: any person or structure unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity of the upthrust side of the fault will experienc...
EAGER: Exploration of evolutionary mechanisms across multiple scales
The incredible diversity of life arose through evolutionary acquisition of novel traits ranging from fundamental shifts in body plans to superficial changes in fur color. Although...
Collaborative Research: An interdisciplinary approach to understand selfish parental care of egg and larvae in mixed-species communal nest breeding freshwater fishes
Faced with danger such as a predator, animals commonly exhibit selfish behavior to gain survival advantages over others when in a herd, school, flock, or swarm. What is not widely...
Collaborative Research: Quantifying Human Forcing of Legacy Sediment and Metal Contamination Dynamics on the Yunnan Plateau of Southwestern China
Globally, metal contamination from past human activities hinders human management of environmental systems, particularly soils (agriculture) and aquatic systems (drinking water). O...
SCC-CIVIC-PG Track B: Rural Resiliency Hubs: A Planning Approach to Addressing the Resiliency Divide
Public libraries provide rural citizens with critical information, services, and support to withstand adversity. Numerous local, state, and federal agencies use public libraries as...
Collaborative Research: International Coercion, Debt Relief, and Land Transactions
National Science Foundation Abstract Proposal: 2048406/2048416 PI Name: Shea, Patrick/Bunte, Jonas Proposal ID: 2048406/2048416 Institution: University of Houston/University of Tex...
NSFDEB-NERC: Collaborative Research: Wildlife corridors: do they work and who benefits?
In recent years, governments have begun to connect parks and other large natural areas by conserving wildlife corridors – swaths of semi-natural land intended to allow the free flo...
Collaborative: EAGER: Demonstration that Thin Film Phase Transformations Can Be Monitored at High-Temperature and High-Pressure in a Diamond Anvil Cell
Phase transitions and the associated volume changes strongly influence materials’ properties. When occurring in minerals in subduction zones - where one tectonic plate dives undern...
I-Corps: AI-enabled automation intelligence software that can detect micro-anomalies in machine and robotic operations
The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps projects is the development of an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled automation software that detects micro-anomalies in m...
SCC-CIVIC-PG Track B: Helping Rural Counties to Enhance Flooding and Coastal Disaster Resilience and Adaptation
In the United States, flooding is a leading cause of natural disasters, with congressional budget office estimates of $54 billion in loss each year. Although both urban and rural a...
BBSRC-NSF/BIO: Collaborative Research: Focusing a quantitative lens on Synthetic Phototrophic Communities
Microbial communities populate nearly all environments on our planet. These environments include the human gut, the surface of corals in the oceans, and plant roots in the soil. In...
Collaborative Research: IODP-enabled Insights into Fungi and Their Metabolic Interactions with Other Microorganisms in Deep Subsurface Hydrothermal Sediments
The marine subsurface is one of the least explored habitats on Earth. International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 385 drilled into the seafloor in Guaymas Basin, Mexico...
Open-Source Renewables: Coupling Resilience to Natural Disasters with Environmental Justice
In a region where earthquakes, heat waves, wildfires and an increasingly unreliable grid are an inescapable reality, resilience hubs bring community-wide benefit. Through the partn...
Analysis, Simulation, and Applications of Stochastic Systems
Stochastic systems are systems in which random disturbances play a significant role. Stemming from emerging and existing applications in networked systems, wireless communications,...
Collaborative: EAGER: Demonstration that Thin Film Phase Transformations Can Be Monitored at High-Temperature and High-Pressure in a Diamond Anvil Cell
Phase transitions and the associated volume changes strongly influence materials’ properties. When occurring in minerals in subduction zones - where one tectonic plate dives undern...
SCC-CIVIC-PG Track A: Community Hub for Smart Mobility
Due to issues of housing affordability, Americans often must live far from their jobs. This spatial mismatch causes commuter traffic congestion resulting in an annual $29 billion l...
Compact Objects and Gravitational Radiation
September 14, 2015 saw the dawn of gravitational wave astronomy with the detection of gravitational waves from the merger of a binary black hole. Since then, three other detections...
CAREER: Algorithms, Incentives, and Policy for Data Privacy
Privacy concerns are becoming a major obstacle to using data, and it is often unclear how current regulations should translate into technology. As differential privacy and other pr...
Understanding the protein composition and dynamics of the nuclear envelope in plants
The nuclear envelope (NE) isolates and organizes the genome. It selectively accumulates proteins that carry out vital cellular functions and represents the hallmark of eukaryotic c...
