This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $578,106 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) will advance the understanding of super-eruptions and the deposits they leave behind, known as ignimbrites. The project, which runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will use the Peach Spring Tuff in Arizona as a case study to investigate how large-volume pyroclastic flows move and maintain high temperatures...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $282,980 project grant to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) at the University at Albany. The grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, supports collaborative research to diagnose global climatic responses to large volcanic eruptions. The key research effort involves providing proxy-based global estimates of spatiotemporal changes in temperature...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded $150,455 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York for a project grant ending January 31, 2025. The award will support research to develop diffusion models for major and trace elements in orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene, which are important mantle and crustal minerals. The project has three key tasks: theoretical and numerical modeling of cation diffusion across exsolution lamellae in...
