The University of Tennessee received a $168,267 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on August 1, 2021 to complete the project by July 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "Magmatic and Mechanical Extension of the Challenger Deep Forearc Segment: Insights into Subduction Initiation" under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, this award will fund research into magmatic and mechanical processes related to the initiation of subduction along the Challenger Deep forearc segment to provide insights into subduction zone formation. The place of performance is Knoxville, Tennessee.
