Opportunity Information: Apply for G20AS00016
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Piedmont South Atlantic Coast opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number G20AS00016) is a US Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding announcement issued by the Department of the Interior, specifically through the USGS Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center. It supports a focused research effort titled "Using a Coupled Numerical Modeling System to Investigate Flooding Impacts During Hurricane Florence (2018)." The overall purpose is to improve understanding of flooding processes and impacts during Hurricane Florence by using an integrated, coupled numerical modeling framework that can represent both watershed-driven flooding and coastal ocean influences.
This award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects substantial involvement during the period of performance rather than a hands-off grant. The selected CESU partner would provide direct technical support for the deployment, maintenance, operation, and calibration of the coupled modeling system. In practical terms, that includes setting up and running the modeling environment, keeping the system functioning reliably, and tuning model parameters so the simulated conditions better match real-world behavior during the storm.
The project work centers on conducting numerical simulations of Hurricane Florence flooding and then validating and improving those simulations by comparing model outputs to observational data. The recipient would analyze how well the coupled system reproduces observed water levels, flows, and inundation patterns, identify mismatches, and refine the configuration accordingly. A key technical deliverable implied by the description is the coupling itself: integrating the output from a hydrologic model (representing rainfall-runoff and riverine flooding processes) with an ocean model (capturing storm surge, tides, and coastal water dynamics). This coupling is important for storms like Florence where inland and coastal flooding mechanisms interact, and where coastal backwater effects can influence riverine flooding and vice versa.
Eligibility is limited to CESU partners under the Piedmont South Atlantic Coast CESU network, reflected in the listing of eligible applicants as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with a maximum funding level (Award Ceiling) of $115,276. The notice was created on November 26, 2019, with an original application closing date of December 10, 2019, indicating a short turnaround typical of targeted research support needs.
In summary, this funding opportunity is a small, single-award cooperative agreement intended to help USGS advance a coupled hydrologic-ocean numerical modeling system for analyzing Hurricane Florence flooding. The funded partner would be expected to provide hands-on modeling support: operating the coupled system, running storm simulations, calibrating model performance against observations, and ensuring hydrologic outputs are properly integrated into the ocean modeling component to better represent combined inland and coastal flooding dynamics.Apply for G20AS00016
