Description
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is seeking a partner for research to determine the effects of variations in spatial geotechnical sediment properties on geomorphic response during storm impacts. The project aims to advance capabilities to predict impacts of storms along the Nation's coastline. The research will focus on developing a coupled ocean-wave-sediment modeling system to predict geomorphic change due to variation in geotechnical sediment properties. The project is funded through the Congressional Authority Disaster Supplemental from Hurricane Ian and aligns with various executive orders and national security strategies.
Key aspects of the project include:
• Developing a coupled ocean-wave-sediment modeling system
• Investigating the effects of geotechnical sediment variations on geomorphic response
• Advancing capabilities to predict impacts of storms along the Nation's coastline
• Aligning with national security strategies and executive orders
• Focusing on domestic energy resources and coastal protection systems
