This $119,779 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to reconcile geophysical observations of slow slip and tremor with geologic and rheological constraints in subduction zones. The primary objectives are to: (1) investigate the types of rocks that potentially hosted slow slip and tremor by analyzing mineral composition, ages, chemistry, and deformation; and (2) compare the rock record to...
This Project Grant award of $320,192 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research at the University of Washington to investigate the relationship between metamorphic dehydration reactions in subducting oceanic crust and the occurrence of deep slow slip earthquakes in subduction zones. The research aims to provide geologic evidence for the hypothesized role of fluid production from these reactions in generating the high pore fluid...
This federal Project Grant award of $205,000 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to advance the scientific understanding of the connection between plate tectonics and great earthquakes. The project will develop new computational methods to efficiently model the long-term motion of tectonic plates and the short-term dynamics of major seismic events. The research team, led by Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $174,000 Project Grant to researchers at Riverside, California under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support work using distributed acoustic sensing to detect tremors and characterize earthquake hazard sites in the Cascadia region. Through June 2022 to May 2024, the grantees will evaluate earthquake risks by deploying fiber optic cables to monitor seismic activity. Insights gained from this work will further the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $274,605 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Washington on January 15, 2021 for research concluding on June 30, 2023. Titled "CAREER: Dynamics of surface rupturing thrust earthquakes," this award will fund basic research into the integrated Earth system through studying the dynamics of surface-rupturing thrust earthquakes. A subaward of $50,000 was also provided to President and Fellows of Harvard...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $174,000 to fund research examining the interplay between fault material strength, roughness and friction at various scales. The award will support work conducted between June 2021 through May 2023 in Santa Cruz, California. As part of its mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise's understanding of the integrated Earth system, the Geosciences program aims to expand...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $893,070 Project Grant to Texas A&M University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. The university will use physics-based numerical models in a dynamic earthquake simulator to investigate controls on slow-slip events, subduction earthquakes, and their interactions along subduction zones. Researchers will select areas along the Hikurangi Margin as case studies and reproduce observed slow-slip...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant, awarded to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC), aims to advance the understanding of subduction fault and earthquake mechanics. Through a combination of new experiments on subduction zone rocks and numerical modeling, the project will investigate how the rheology (deformation behavior) of the megathrust fault zone, and the heterogeneity within it, affect fault slip behavior. Additionally, the project...
This $393,670 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of California, Davis from March 2022 through February 2025 to test the role of metastable olivine in subduction dynamics and deep earthquakes. The researchers will use state-of-the-art numerical simulations integrating experimental and observational parameters to model various subduction scenarios with and without the presence of metastable olivine. They will compare...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 Project Grant to Providence, Rhode Island for work investigating the competition between thermal pressurization and dilatancy on rough surfaces at earthquake slip rates. This funding supports a two-year research project under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the award will allow...
