Associate Scientist Phil Gassman was awarded a $27,293 grant from the Environmental Defense Fund. Gassman will work with EDF to determine the best set of appropriate metrics for evaluating flood mitigation efforts at the local and basin scale, whether it is possible to set local and/or basin-wide goals for flood mitigation, and how much and where natural infrastructure should be put on the landscape to achieve water quality improvement and flood reduction goals.

The project will run through September 30, 2021.
