The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $368,003 Project Grant to Texas Tech University under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research testing models for the Late Jurassic Nevadan orogeny. The research aims to determine the age, provenance, and structural evolution of the Galice and Mariposa basins in Oregon and California through analysis of basin sediments and tectonic structures. The grant will fund research...
Trinity University received a three-year, $139,352 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will fund collaborative research to test mechanisms for regional dolomitization of Triassic carbonate platforms across the Nanpanjiang Basin of South China. This research aligns with the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) goal of expanding fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric,...
Trinity University received a three-year, $192,830 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on August 1, 2021 with a completion date of July 31, 2024. The grant supports research under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop a predictive model of strain accommodation for segmented normal fault evolution in the Sevier Fault Zone of southern Utah. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system...
This National Science Foundation Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) project grant award of $191,257 to Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas supports a collaborative, continental-scale research study on the Mesozoic development of the North American Cordillera mountain range. The research aims to evaluate competing models for the tectonic processes that formed the Cordillera, coupling the analysis of mélange belts and sedimentary basins across four transects from Alaska to California. The project will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $172,594 Project Grant to Oregon State University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a 3-year collaborative undergraduate research project. The grant will fund an investigation into the tectonic and landscape evolution of the Klamath Mountains region of the Pacific Northwest, which was shaped by the accretion of the Siletzia oceanic plateau onto the North American plate millions of years ago. The principal...
This Project Grant award for $398,707 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between the University of Oregon and other institutions to study the geologic history and tectonic evolution of the Pacific Northwest region. The project aims to test models for the surface response to the Eocene collision of the Siletz oceanic terrane with western North America, as well as the subsequent post-collision adjustments that shaped...
This $109,466 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), will fund collaborative research between the University of Texas at El Paso and researchers in Ecuador. The research aims to provide insights into the geologic processes and hazards along ocean-continent subduction plate boundaries through an integrated study of sedimentary basins and magmatism records across Ecuador. Researchers will employ...
This $415,880 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Oregon State University. The award will fund a collaborative research project to test models for the fluvial response to the Eocene terrane collision in western Oregon, using integrated tectono-stratigraphy and detrital provenance analysis. The project aims to understand the interactions between tectonic and surface processes that controlled the topographic evolution...
This $184,781 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program supports a collaborative research effort to study the Mesozoic development of the North American Cordillera mountain range. The research team, led by Montana State University, will conduct a continental-scale analysis of sedimentary basins and mélange belts across four transects in California, British Columbia, southeast Alaska, and central Alaska. Key objectives include determining the age,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences supports a collaborative research project led by Cal Poly Humboldt Sponsored Programs Foundation, a Hispanic Serving Institution. The $296,973 award, effective July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026, will fund an undergraduate cohort experience to investigate the tectonic and geologic history of the Klamath Mountains region of the Pacific Northwest. The research team will apply advanced thermochronology...
