The National Science Foundation awarded Trinity University a three-year Project Grant totaling $198,401 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) beginning September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant funds collaborative research to test models of the late Jurassic Nevadan orogeny through determining the age, provenance, and structural evolution of the Galice and Mariposa sedimentary basins in Oregon and California. This work will enhance understanding of the integrated Earth system by...
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 $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $358,157 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system. Under the award, UT Austin will conduct collaborative research on vertical signatures of lithospheric deformation in the western United States from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The research is expected to...
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,...
The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College a three-year, $288,924 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research resolving conflicting tectonic models for the Laramide orogeny and flat-slab subduction in southern California. The University will perform three field seasons of data collection in the San Gabriel Mountains, along with geochronology, geochemistry, and microstructural laboratory...
This $183,953 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research by Texas Tech University System to reconstruct melt compositions across cordilleran arc segments. The research aims to quantify the extent of magmatic processing and investigate the underlying petrologic mechanisms that define the relationship between rock composition and crustal thickness. The project will utilize high-temperature minerals to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded $127,423 under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to The University Corporation for a project grant titled "Collaborative Research: A New Appraisal of Tectonic Mobility in the Northern Cordillera Using Connections Between the Coast Mountains Batholith and Alberta Foreland Basin - Western North America."
