USCRP

462 is the number of total outcomes from funded projects in the first 5 years.

USCRP defines outcomes as tangible products that can be found and used as resources within four outcome categories, academic advancements, tool advancements, public outreach, and information and data. ‍🔬

Oyster reefs are coastal superheroes! 🦪

Led by Alberto Canestrelli, William Nardin, Luca Martinelli, Rafael Tinoco, and Savanna Barry with University of Florida, University of Maryland, University of Padova, and .edu University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, 🪸 the Quantifying Morphological Changes Driven by Oyster Reef Breakwaters Under Different Tidal and Wave Conditions to Inform Restoration Strategies project will determine which reef geometry maximizes the aggradation for given tidal and wave conditions. 🌊

How do hurricanes affect waves and currents & what can we learn about the connection between storm surges and water quality? 🌀

In collaboration with The University of South Alabama and University of Florida , lead P*s Bret Webb and Elise Morrison seek to improve our understanding of extreme events through the continuous measurement of atmospheric and hydrographic parameters on the shoreline during a landfalling hurricane.

"Curious about how waves shape our beaches? 🏖️

Lead P*s Morteza Derakhti, Christie Hegermiller, Gregory Wilson, Christine Baker, Chris Chickadel, and Melissa Moulton with University of Washington, Oregon State University, and Stanford University address how nearshore sediment suspension and transport are affected by (1) wave-breaking-generated turbulence and coherent structures and (2) nonlinear interactions and coupling of infragravity and sea-swell waves in the shoaling zone.

Storms, waves, and sediments - oh my! 🌊 The USCRP is thrilled to fund five groundbreaking projects to further coastal research efforts. 🤩

Lead P*s Ryan Mieras, Jack Puleo, Blair Johnson, and Tian-Jian Hsu with UNCW , University of Delaware , and The University of Texas at Austin are investigating the hydro-morphodynamic feedback mechanisms driving major sediment transport events and the resulting cross-shore morphodynamics in the inner surf and swash zones.
