FY 2015 SERDP Call for Proposals2 min read

by ESD News and Events on November 19, 2013

Announcements Environmental Remediation & Water Resources Program Proposals

Source:  Ken Williams and Lisa Kelly

The FY 15 SERDP call for proposals has just been announced. This year's solicitation details are noted below in a message from Ken Williams, ERWR Program Lead.

If you plan to respond to this solicitation, please read the information provided in the links and below, and notify Ken Williams, Lisa Kelly and your supervisor.

DoD's Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) has released their solicitation for both Core and SEED proposals.  The two have different deadlines (Core: pre-proposal required, deadline of 9-Jan-2014; SEED: no pre-proposal, full proposal deadline 11-March-2014) with distinct Statements of Need (SONs) for both.

Included in the SON's for the Core solicitation (typical project durations of 2-5 years) are topics related to natural attenuation (e.g quantifying and delineating its prospects) and detection of underwater marine munitions both potentially topics of interest to members of ESD.

Additionally, there are two SONs of potential interest to folks in the Climate Sciences and Ecology groups: (a) New Paradigms for Managing Species and Ecosystems in a Non-Stationary World and (b) Adapting to Changes in the Hydrologic Cycle under Non-Stationary Climate Conditions.  The latter topic has an expressed interest in understanding/quantifying the non-uniform spatial and temporal distribution of potential climate-induced changes in the intensity and variability of heavy precipitation and runoff.

Two of the relevant SONs are available below (Natural Attenuation; Adapting to Changes in the Hydrologic Cycle), as is the Nov. 2013 Groundwater Workshop report from SERDP that provides a lot of useful background material assessing 'critical' needs and/or topics; it is definitely worth looking through if you plan on submitting a Core or SEED proposal.

SERDP is hosting an information webinar on 19-Nov to explain the SONs (http://www.serdp-estcp.org/Funding-Opportunities/SERDP-Solicitations/Core-SONs-FY15).

EGD Postdoc Fellow Receives Young Researcher Presenter Award1 min read

January 21, 2021

Pramod Bhuvankar, an EGD postdoctoral fellow working with research scientist Abdullah Cihan, received a Young Researcher Presenter Award during the 2020 Computational Methods in Water Resources conference in December. His presentation, “Pore-scale simulations of permeability decline in porous media due to fines migration,” described a pore-scale CFD study of clay mobilization in porous media due…

Berkeley Lab Partners with International Collaborators in Geothermal Energy Research1 min read

January 20, 2021

  Scientists from the Energy Geosciences Division have begun working with European partners on three new geothermal research projects through the Department of Energy’s membership in GEOTHERMICA, a transnational consortium that combines the in-country financial resources and research expertise of 15 participating countries to demonstrate and validate novel concepts in geothermal energy use. This marks the…

EESA Senior Scientist Talks Earthquake Building Resilience1 min read

Berkeley Lab senior scientist David McCallen leads a subproject called Earthquake Sim, or EQSIM, for the DOE’s Energy Exascale Computing Project. He is also professor and director of the Center for Civil Engineering Earthquake Research in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. McCallen recently spoke with Scott Gibson of…

EESA Scientist Coauthors New Comprehensive Guide on Removing CO2 from the Atmosphere2 min read

January 18, 2021

Berkeley Lab researchers are working on ways to sequester more carbon in soil, including through agricultural practices. (Credit: Berkeley Lab) Scientists say that any serious plan to address climate change should include carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies and policies, which makes the newly launched CDR Primer an especially vital resource, says Berkeley Lab scientist Margaret Torn, one…
