The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $470,000 Project Grant to Stanford University to support research entitled "Insights into Episodic Caldera Collapse and Magmatic Systems from the 2018 Eruption of Kilauea Volcano." The grant period runs from May 15, 2021 through April 30, 2024. The funding will support basic research conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system...
This $490,303 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project aimed at improving the understanding of lava flow properties and their impact on volcanic eruption hazard assessment. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Developing and deploying two new field tools to directly measure the viscosity of natural lava flows, which contain critical elements like bubbles and crystals...
Rice University was awarded a $333,279 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on January 1, 2022 to support research titled "Opening and Reestablishment of Kilauea's Lower East Rift Zone Magma Plumbing System During the 2018 Eruption." The two-year project will investigate the magma plumbing system dynamics of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano during its 2018 eruption through the Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050). The Geosciences program seeks to expand...
This $161,641 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to apply active and passive seismic imaging techniques to provide a high-resolution three-dimensional image of the subsurface summit structure of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. Funded from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026, the award to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will integrate an active-passive seismic survey of the Kilauea summit with a temporary nodal...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $175,879 provides funding for a collaborative research project to characterize the spatial and temporal variations of volcanic rift zones on basaltic shield volcanoes, with a focus on Kilauea and Mauna Loa in Hawaii. The project aims to obtain detailed subsurface imaging of the rift zones and their characteristics, which are essential for enhancing volcanic hazard mitigation capabilities. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $230,516 to the University of Utah to characterize the spatial and temporal variations of volcanic rift zones on basaltic shield volcanoes in Hawaii. The project aims to obtain detailed subsurface imaging of the rift zones at Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes, which is essential for volcanic hazard mitigation. It will collect seismic data, including a follow-up survey to one conducted after...
This $699,699 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to apply active and passive seismic imaging techniques to provide a high-resolution three-dimensional image of the subsurface summit structure of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii after its 2018 collapse. The University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science will partner with the U.S. Geological Survey to deploy a temporary seismic array and conduct...
The National Science Foundation awarded North Carolina State University a $384,585 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to experimentally determine how the crystallization and rheology of basaltic lava evolve when subjected to realistic cooling curves. Through laboratory experiments, the university will reproduce realistic lava flow cooling paths and measure how lava's ability to deform and move changes throughout the process. The university will develop a...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $410,626 to support research on lava rheology for near real-time forecasting of lava flows. The awardee, the Research Foundation for the State University of New York, will conduct detailed petrographic analyses and viscosity measurements on lava samples from Nyamulagira and Nyragongo volcanoes in the Democratic Republic of Congo. These data will be used to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $280,726 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to measure the deformation of the seafloor off Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii over a 4-year period. The research will deploy a seafloor geodesy network of 4 GNSS-acoustic sites to track horizontal displacement rates along a profile above the Kilauea decollement, a nearly horizontal fault similar to major earthquake faults at subduction zones. The...
