- This federal contract award, valued at $537,604.85, was issued by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Oregon (UO) to develop a framework that leverages high-rate Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) observations and machine learning to identify the final magnitude, extent, and associated hazards of a large earthquake before the rupture process is complete. The objective is to enable more effective real-time assessment...
- This is a $339,644.46 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The grant supports a 3-year research project to measure the seismic moment accumulation rate and crustal strain rate along the San Andreas Fault System using a combination of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Global Positioning System (GPS) data. The project aims to improve processing methods for...
- This is a $420,696.71 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on improving fault slip estimates for large magnitude earthquakes. The goal is to better understand the natural hazards associated with earthquakes in order to enhance mitigation and preparation efforts. The research will focus on using a range of geodetic data to produce accurate estimates of fault slip across the entire...
- The University of Oregon received a $550,195 civilian federal research grant awarded on January 18, 2022, with completion scheduled for December 31, 2026. The contract addresses earthquake and tsunami hazard mitigation, focusing on understanding the significant risks that large seismic events pose to U.S. infrastructure and populations. With annual losses from earthquake-induced strong shaking estimated at approximately $5 billion, this research effort aims to advance scientific knowledge and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $125,494.52 research and development training grant to the University of Oregon to develop an algorithm that can rapidly determine the magnitude of large earthquakes, including those in the Cascadia Subduction Zone. This work aims to improve earthquake early warning systems, which are critical for providing seconds to minutes of advance warning before strong shaking occurs. The project will apply machine learning techniques to...
- The University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography received a $665,939 grant award from NASA on March 9, 2023, for research titled "Strain Rate and Moment Rate in Western North America from InSAR and GNSS." The project, led by David Sandwell at UCSD in collaboration with researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, University of Hawaii, and CICESE in Mexico, addresses two critical surface deformation science questions from NASA's 2016 Earth Science...
- This is a $146,751 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Oregon for research on geomorphic change and hazard potential from landslides in a tectonically active region. The research will be conducted through an academic-government collaboration, with principal investigator Dr. Roering from the University of Oregon supervising the work, and co-investigators Dr. Schulz from the U.S. Geological Survey and Dr. Schmidt from the University of Oregon...
- This is a $2,907,193.00 cooperative agreement awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) for a project titled "DEFORMATION TIME SERIES OF VOLCANIC REGIONS FROM SPACE-GEODETIC INSAR AND GNSS OBSERVATIONS." The contract has an ultimate completion date of October 18, 2028 and was awarded on October 19, 2023. This contract does not have a set-aside designation. Stanford University is a renowned private...
- This federal contract award, valued at $102,500.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to develop a tsunami early warning system for the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest. The project aims to assess the ability of real-time Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data to rapidly characterize earthquake slip and model tsunami inundation, which could improve...
- This federal contract award to Stanford University from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is for research to advance volcano monitoring techniques using joint inversion of seismicity and geodetic observations. The $271,103.51 grant will be used to develop methods for modeling dike propagation and the onset of volcanic eruptions, building on previous work on the 2014 Bardarbunga volcano intrusion in Iceland. The research aims to improve real-time, physics-based data...
This federal contract award to Stanford University, a renowned private research institution, is focused on studying earthquake hazards along the Cascadia region of the Pacific Northwest. The $437,838 grant aims to determine if aseismic, or "silent," slip events along the plate boundary are affecting earthquake risk in this area. The research will leverage InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) data, in combination with GPS and seismic information, to map crustal deformation and model slip at depth. This approach could provide a new tool for assessing hazard potential, especially in regions lacking dense GPS coverage. The contract has no set-aside designation, reflecting Stanford's status as a leading research institution competing for federal work. This effort is part of the agency's "SLOW SLIP EVENTS IN CASCADIA: OBSERVATION AND HAZARD ANALYSIS DERIVED FROM INSAR, WITH GPS AND SEISM" program, which aims to better understand the impact of slowly-evolving tectonic events on earthquake risk in the Pacific Northwest.
