The University of Wisconsin-Madison received a $157,100 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research titled "Do Slickenfibers Record Episodic Tremor and Slow Slip?" for the period of May 1, 2021 through April 30, 2023. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated systems through basic research support in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Under this award, University of Wisconsin researchers will analyze whether microscopic fibers in fault zones can be used to detect episodic tremors and slow earth movements, with the goal of improving scientific knowledge of earthquake and fault behaviors.
