The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $174,000 Project Grant to Providence, Rhode Island for research entitled "GLOBAL INVESTIGATION OF THE MANTLE FROM SHEAR VELOCITY PROFILES WITH A FOCUS ON THE WATER CONTENT AND TEMPERATURE OF THE MANTLE TRANSITION ZONE." The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Under the award, the grantee will conduct research from June 2022 through May 2024 to investigate the mantle's water content and temperature in the mantle transition zone through analysis of shear velocity profiles. The award amount of $174,000 will support this geosciences research focused on furthering understanding of Earth's deep interior structure and composition.
