The National Science Foundation awarded a $564,439 project grant to The Johns Hopkins University from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. This funding supports research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences.
Specifically, this project grant will fund composition and evolution research of saline fluids in the upper mantle. Studies of mantle fluids can enhance understanding of geological and tectonic processes within Earth. The work will be performed at The Johns Hopkins University campus in Baltimore, Maryland and aims to provide new insights into fluid behavior and cycling deep within the planet.
