The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $191,470 Project Grant to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to support research investigating the link between modern spring activity and associated paleospring mounds in Death Valley National Park. The three-year grant, awarded July 1, 2021 and set to be completed by June 30, 2024, will fund collaborative research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas will analyze modern springs and compare findings to paleospring features to better understand past climate conditions in the region. The research aims to expand fundamental geoscience knowledge through interdisciplinary study of Death Valley's hydrologic system, both historically and presently.
