The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $169,783 Project Grant to the University of Wyoming to support collaborative research titled "Volatile Sources, Eruption Triggers, and Magma Ascent Rates for Mafic Alkaline Magmas at Nyamulagira and Nyirangongo Volcanoes, DR Congo, East African Rift." The period of performance for this award under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) federal grant program is May 1, 2021 through April 30, 2024. The grant will fund research at the University of Wyoming in Laramie, Wyoming to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes through basic research on the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the funding will support collaborative studies of volatile sources, eruption triggers, and magma ascent rates for mafic alkaline magmas at two volcanoes in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, advancing knowledge of magmatic processes in the East African Rift region.
