- This Project Grant award of $321,404, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to unravel the timing and episodicity of magmatic intrusions in the San Rafael Volcanic Field (SRVF) in Utah. The research team from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee will use high-precision dating, paleomagnetic data, geological mapping, and magnetometry surveys to constrain the absolute and relative ages of intrusive episodes in this...
- This federal Project Grant award of $481,003.00, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project to investigate the timing and episodicity of magmatic intrusions within the San Rafael Volcanic Field in Utah. The University of South Florida, the awardee, will conduct high-precision dating, paleomagnetic analysis, geological mapping, and magnetometry surveys to (1) constrain the absolute and relative ages of intrusive...
- The University of Arizona, through the Arizona Board of Regents, has been awarded a $154,398 Project Grant from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821). The 1-year project aims to collaborate with the Hopi Tribe to map geologic hazards, specifically landslide risks, at First Mesa in northeastern Arizona. The key project objectives are to: 1) create baseline geologic and topographic maps of landslide hazards, 2) provide...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $335,953 to Purdue University to conduct collaborative research comparing the geochemical and temporal links between volcanism and plutonism in an ancient subduction zone volcano in Washington. The key products of this 3-year project include: Reconstruction of the record of volcanic eruptions and subvolcanic intrusive activity by studying the geochemistry, geochronology, and petrology of...
- This three-year, $337,782 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at California State University Fullerton and Princeton University to determine the time and length scales of magma bodies in magmatic arcs. The grant recipients will study potassium feldspar phenocrysts and megacrysts up to 12 cm long containing mineral inclusions from the Tuolumne Intrusive Complex in Yosemite National Park. Electron microprobe, laser...
- This $494,982 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a multidisciplinary research effort to reexamine the precursory activity leading up to the catastrophic Mount Mazama eruption in Oregon approximately 7,700 years ago. The research team, led by the University of Oregon, will track changes in the chemistry and physical properties of the magmatic system over time by analyzing ash, pumice, and lava samples from the precursor...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $465,972 to William Marsh Rice University to characterize timescales of magma compositional changes in continental volcanic arcs. The University will create a high-resolution record of volcanic ash deposited along the western US coast over 65 million years ago. Analyzing ash altered into bentonite deposited in Texas over 7 million years will enable reconstruction of arc composition history. The...
PROPOSAL TITLE: BASALTIC MAGMATIC MAPPING OF COYOTE HILLS SHIELD VOLCANO IN THE SPRINGERVILLE VOLCANIC FIELD, EAST-CENTRAL ARIZONA PROJECT PERIOD: 01/01/2026 THROUGH 12/31/2026 PURPOSE THIS PROJECT AIMS TO MAP ERUPTIVE BASALTS OF COYOTE HILLS SHIELD VOLCANO IN THE SPRINGERVILLE VOLCANIC FIELD (SVF). THE SVF IS A WELL-MAPPED MONOGENETIC VOLCANIC FIELD, WITH COYOTE HILLS BEING THE ONLY REMAINING UNMAPPED AREA. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH MAPPING AND FIELD EXPERIENCE WHILE ADDING A VERY IMPORTANT LAST PIECE THAT WILL ALLOW MORE WORK DEVELOPING A PETROGENETIC MODEL OF THE FIELD, CREATING A COMPLETE PICTURE OF THE VOLCANISM; A PICTURE THAT WILL BE A RARE GLIMPSE OF THE ENTIRETY OF A MONOGENETIC VOLCANIC FIELD AND WILL OFFER INSIGHTS INTO HAZARD ASSESSMENT AND A TEMPLATE FOR STUDYING SIMILAR FIELDS. ACTIVITIES ONE MONTH OF FIELD WORK WILL BE COMPLETED MAPPING AND SAMPLING THE ~60 KM2 COYOTE HILLS SHIELD VOLCANO IN THE EASTERN EXTENT OF THE SVF. SUBSEQUENT THIN SECTION AND GEOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS WILL CONFIRM AND CLASSIFY MAPPED VOLCANIC UNITS. THE MAPS WILL THEN BE DIGITIZED INTO LITHOLOGIC MAPS ACCOMPANIED BY GEOCHEMISTRY AND UNIT DESCRIPTIONS. DELIVERABLES AND OUTCOMES TWO DIGITAL MAP, OF THE COYOTE HILLS SHIELD VOLCANO, ONE OF THE EASTERN PORTION AND ONE OF THE WESTERN PORTION, IN THE SPRINGERVILLE AND COYOTE HILLS QUADRANGLES, ARIZONA (UPPER NW COORDINATES=34?16-00-, 109?10-55-, SE COORDINATES=34?07-32-, 109?10-08-; NOTE THE MAPPING AREA IS CONFINED TO AN IRREGULAR AREA DIRECTLY IN THE COYOTE HILLS AREA CONTAINED WITHIN THE COORDINATES GIVEN, THE WHOLE AREA WITHIN THE COORDINATES WILL NOT BE MAPPED). MAPS WILL FOLLOW THE GEOLOGIC MAP SCHEMA (GEMS) STANDARD. ACCOMPANYING UNIT DESCRIPTIONS FOR THE MAPPED AREAS WILL BE INCLUDED. INTENDED BENEFICIARY(IES) THIS WORK WILL TRAIN STUDENTS IN GEOLOGIC MAPPING AND PROVIDE THEM SKILLS THAT WILL BE INVALUABLE TO THEIR FUTURES AS GEOLOGISTS, ALL WHILE ASSESSING A POORLY UNDERSTAND STYLE OF ERUPTION IN A VOLCANIC FIELD. THIS FIELD IS CURRENTLY HAVING DATES REFINED, AND NEW AGES SUGGEST THE YOUNGER FLOWS ARE
