The University of Alaska Fairbanks received a $290,273 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on arc plutonism along the Denali Fault in Alaska from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. The grant supports basic research to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through studying possible fault controls on incremental magma transport and assembly along the long-lived strike-slip Denali Fault. The Geosciences...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $188,294 project grant to The University of New Mexico under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2024. The grant will support research to investigate structure and seismicity within the southern region of the 1964 Great Alaska earthquake rupture area using a dense node array. Specifically, the grantee will reanalyze seismic data collected in 2019 by 400...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to understand how accretionary sutures evolve into strike-slip faults along the western margin of North America. The $346,273 award to the University of Alaska Fairbanks will fund an integrated study of the Denali Fault Zone in Alaska, constraining the timescales, physical mechanisms, and pressure/temperature conditions of continental crust during the transition from...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $291,843, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. The award, with a period of performance from August 15, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will support collaborative research to investigate how accretionary sutures evolve into cordilleran strike-slip faults along the western margin of North America. The research will focus on the Denali Fault Zone in...
This $499,286 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project between the U.S. and the United Kingdom's National Environment Research Council (NERC) to study the long-term history and impacts of earthquakes and tsunamis along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone. The research aims to fill knowledge gaps between observed events and prehistoric occurrences by using innovative paleogeodetic...
This $175,416 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Cornell University from August 2022 to July 2024. The university will investigate structure and seismicity within the southern region of the 1964 Great Alaska earthquake rupture zone using data from a dense array of seismic sensors deployed in Kodiak Island, Alaska. Researchers will reanalyze 2019 data from 400 instruments to identify small earthquakes and precisely locate...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $226,022 to the University of Washington to investigate slow slip and fault locking along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone. The research team will deploy broadband seismic instruments on the Kenai Peninsula and use distributed acoustic sensing technology in the Cook Inlet region to collect data that will be used to model the structure and seismic wave speeds in the Pacific and North...
The University of Alaska Anchorage will receive $365,000 from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research developing capacity for planning and adapting to riverbank erosion and its consequences in the Yukon River Basin from January 2022 through December 2026. As part of its basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the NSF Geosciences program supports projects that strengthen understanding of integrated Earth...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $220,031 supports research at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and Penn State University from January 2023 through December 2024.
