As part of its mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanding fundamental Earth system knowledge, the NSF Geosciences program supports basic research in...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $167,851 project grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research titled "Collaborative Research: The Role of Subducting Seamounts in Fault Stability and Slip Behavior Throughout the Seismic Cycle." The two-year award beginning September 1, 2021 will support basic research into understanding the integrated Earth system through studying the influence of underwater volcanoes on fault behavior and...
This federal Project Grant award, with ID 2501206, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award, totaling $317,996, supports research to understand the mechanisms by which burrowing marine organisms, or "benthic infauna," mix and modify the physical properties of seafloor sediments through their activities. The project, led by the University of Texas at Austin, aims to quantify how the functional roles of these...
The University of Texas at Austin received a two-year, $292,433 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant funds basic research examining the impact of upper-plate splay faults on stress state and strength of the megathrust and fluid budgets in accreting sediments. This research directly supports the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through support of basic...

The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system. Under the award, UT Austin will conduct collaborative research on vertical signatures of lithospheric deformation in the western United States from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The research is expected to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $272,664 project grant to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct collaborative research on subduction megathrust rheology. The research aims to quantify how the deformation behavior and spatial heterogeneity of subduction zone rocks affect fault slip behavior, including the occurrence of slow earthquakes and slip events. The project will involve new laboratory experiments on subduction zone...
This National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $409,005 to the University of Texas at Austin for a collaborative research project examining rodingites as recorders of tectonic processes. The research will determine the pressure-temperature-deformation-fluid-time histories of rodingites from the Dun Mountain ophiolite belt in New Zealand to constrain the timing and conditions of serpentinization and interpret the tectonic evolution of plate boundaries....
This $183,953 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to reconstruct ancient melt compositions across multiple cordilleran arc segments in the western United States. The goal is to evaluate petrologic proxies for determining past crustal thickness and transcrustal differentiation processes. The research team, led by Texas Tech University System, will use high-temperature minerals to 1) identify and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $305,251 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research examining metamorphic rocks from ancient subduction zones in the Baja California peninsula from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The research aims to quantify the pressure-temperature-time histories of amphibolite, blueschist, and eclogite rocks using advanced thermobarometry and petrochronology techniques to better understand the...
