Using the Internet of Things (IoT) and Sensor Technology to Improve Stormwater Management
The goal of this project is to use an Internet of Things (IoT) framework along with smart sensors to monitor and improve stormwater management on the University of Maryland Campus. This project provides real-time and continuous data that can inform both short-term responses and longer-term restoration retrofits to treat stormwater surface runoff.

Resilience Implementation for Salt-INtruded Geographies (RISING) Mid-Atlantic
The goal of Resilience Implementation for Salt-INtruded Geographies (RISING) Mid-Atlantic is to significantly improve the resilience and well-being of rural coastal communities in Maryland (MD), Delaware (DE) and New Jersey (NJ) who are impacted by saltwater intrusion (SWI) and sea-level rise (SLR). We will achieve this by developing and implementing coordinated, community-engaged solutions for two important coastal economic sectors: farming and forestry.
Water Security of Paraíba Municipalities: An Integrated Modeling of Climate Variability and Natural and Anthropogenic Dynamics
The SIGMA project, "Water Security of Paraíba Municipalities: An Integrated Modeling of Climate Variability and Natural and Anthropogenic Dynamics," funded by Fapesq-PB/FAPESP 2022, involves collaboration between UFCG, UMD, INPE, UEPB, IFPB, geo-T, and the SIRJ Lab. It assesses water security across basins, municipalities, urban and rural areas, emphasizing public participation for resilience.

Bostwick is a historic, eighteenth-century site located in Bladensburg, Maryland. It consists of a Georgian-style, central passage, main house that was altered in the early twentieth century in a Colonial Revival redo, multiple outbuildings dating from the late eighteenth to early twentieth century and landscaped grounds, including terraces. Christopher Lowndes, a locally prominent, English-born merchant built Bostwick in 1746 using indentured and enslaved workers. The house reflects the wealth and aesthetic tastes of Maryland’s colonial elite.
