The University of Texas at Austin received a two-year, $292,433 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant funds basic research examining the impact of upper-plate splay faults on stress state and strength of the megathrust and fluid budgets in accreting sediments. This research directly supports the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through support of basic atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences research. The place of performance for the research is Austin, Texas.
