Project Grant 2051759

This $139,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences supports research towards understanding deep crustal faulting and fluid movement through analysis of long period earthquakes near Clearlake, California. The Regents of the University of California, Berkeley will analyze long period event catalogs, determine hypocenter locations, characterize deep events, and comparatively analyze deep long-period events at the Clear Lake Volcanic Field to low-frequency events at Parkfield, California from May 2021 through April 2022. Array Information Technology, Inc. and Dr. Gritto will assist UC Berkeley by supporting relevant research tasks including IT support, findings reporting, and coordinating analysis scopes. The award aims to strengthen geosciences knowledge under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences through the integrated study of Earth's systems.
