The Regents of the University of Colorado received a $176,024 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on January 1, 2022 to support basic research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research, titled "NNA RESEARCH: THE GREENLAND HAZARDS PROJECT," will strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes through studies of hazards in Greenland. The University will conduct the research over the one-year period ending December 31, 2022 at its...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 two-year Project Grant to researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund a research project to Quantify Scale of Lower Crust and Mantle Heterogeneities Beneath the Continental United States through Bridging Seismology, Mineral Physics, Petrology, and Magnetotellurics. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated system. This...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $317,272 will fund the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between the Earth's surface and interior processes. The principal awardee, the University of Colorado, will couple two widely used community codes - ASPECT (originally for simulating mantle dynamics) and LANDLAB (for modeling surface processes) - to enable...
The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, has been awarded a $599,873 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041).
