This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research led by Rutgers, The State University to improve understanding of how continental shelf regions, shorelines, and coastlines have responded to changes in sea level, sediment supply, and tectonic processes over the Miocene epoch. The $462,435 award will fund the integration of sediment core data, high-resolution 3D seismic imaging, and forward stratigraphic modeling to test...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $123,294 to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct a collaborative seismic experiment investigating mantle dynamics during the early stages of seafloor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean. The project aims to understand how the central Atlantic Ocean first formed by collecting new marine seismic data to reveal the evolution of oceanic crust and mantle as the Atlantic opened up. The...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $464,798 to Louisiana State University to conduct a collaborative seismic experiment investigating mantle dynamics during the early stages of seafloor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean. The research aims to understand how the central Atlantic Ocean first formed approximately 190 million years ago when the Pangaea supercontinent rifted apart. The project will collect new marine seismic...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (CFDA 15.814) provides $411,387.56 to the University of Rhode Island to preserve and provide public access to sediment core samples and data from Rhode Island's waterways. The key project activities include: Inventorying, assessing, and preserving the existing sediment core collection housed at the Marine Geological Samples Laboratory, including developing...
This Project Grant award of $655,938 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to conduct 3D multichannel seismic surveys at the East Pacific Rise volcanic system. The goal is to create high-resolution imagery that can be used to investigate how the magmatic and hydrothermal systems have changed over the past decade, providing insights into volcanic cycles on decadal timescales. The project will partner with industry...
This two-year, $354,309 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to develop a new three-dimensional subsurface framework model of the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest. The awardee, the University of Texas at Austin, will analyze seismic data collected during the 2021 Cascadia Seismic Imaging Experiment to study the geometry of the plate interface along the margin, variations in plate interface properties, the...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $107,128 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (doing business as Stony Brook University) to conduct collaborative research on the relationships between seismic and petrological Moho discontinuities and their implications for lithospheric processes. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize the seismic wave speeds above and below the seismic Moho, 2) assess the...
This Project Grant award of $5,012,875.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a shallow drilling campaign to assess the Pleistocene hydrogeology, geomicrobiology, nutrient fluxes, and freshwater resources of the Atlantic continental shelf off the coast of New England. The research, conducted by the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, aims to study the onshore-offshore freshwater system in this region, including investigating freshwater...
This $201,076 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (under the CFDA program "Computer and Information Science and Engineering") aims to integrate two data systems, MacroStrat and Sedimentary Geochemistry and Paleoenvironments (SGP), to better link geochemical proxy records to crustal stratigraphic context. Key activities include: Connecting SGP sample data to MacroStrat's geologic units and columns Developing new web...
This $268,676 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund analysis of approximately 4 km of sediment cores recovered from the Guaymas Basin in the Gulf of California through the International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 385. Over a three-year period, the award will support a research team of three master's degree students mentored by two female professors to conduct lithofacies and petrofacies analyses of the cores. This work aims to...
