- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $468,724 project grant under its Geosciences program to Washington State University (WSU). The grant supports research to investigate how deformation of granitic rocks may alter their geochemical and isotopic signatures, which are commonly used to reconstruct the formation and evolution of the Earth's crust. The study aims to evaluate whether variably deformed granitic rocks faithfully retain the original geochemical fingerprints of their...
- This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $186,556 to the University of Washington for collaborative research probing feedbacks between thermal structure, petrologic transformation, and rheologic evolution within dynamically evolving subduction zones. The research products will advance understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research supported by the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program aims to...
- The National Science Foundation awarded Washington State University a $173,436 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research quantifying the role of simultaneous large low shear velocity provinces and continents on Earth's cooling history. Over a three-year period from July 2023 to June 2026, the university will use numerical simulations of mantle convection to study how Earth's thermal evolution and internal mantle dynamics are jointly altered by...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $274,605 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Washington on January 15, 2021 for research concluding on June 30, 2023. Titled "CAREER: Dynamics of surface rupturing thrust earthquakes," this award will fund basic research into the integrated Earth system through studying the dynamics of surface-rupturing thrust earthquakes.

- 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...
The University of Washington was awarded a $460,596 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research titled "Trapped in Travertine: Physical and Chemical Signature of Paleoseismicity in Hot Spring Deposits on Active Faults of the Central Nevada Seismic Belt." The grant will support basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences through the expansion of fundamental knowledge and increased understanding of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, the University will analyze travertine deposits located near active faults in central Nevada's seismic belt to identify physical and chemical signatures that can indicate past seismic activity. By studying these hot spring deposits, the research aims to strengthen scientific understanding of paleoseismology and fault behavior in the region. The grant period runs from March 1, 2021 through February 28, 2023 and performance will be conducted at the University's campus in Seattle, Washington.
