The grant funds a collaborative research project titled "Sustainable Land and Water Resources - A Community Based Participatory Research Experience for Undergraduates." The project aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research and provide...
- The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $277,175 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will fund the development of precipitation, evaporation and temperature records from tropical lake sediments and cave deposits for the last 700,000 years. This work supports the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth,...
- This Project Grant award for $382,137 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Minnesota to investigate the composition and iron oxidation state of the minerals lawsonite and epidote in subducted oceanic crust. The research aims to understand the controls on the conditions and fluid sources that influence mineral composition and iron chemistry in these hydrous minerals as oceanic plates subduct and transform at depth. Two...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $210,288 Project Grant to Regents Of The University Of Minnesota, through its Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, to conduct research on the effects of 3-D mantle wedge flow and crystal preferred orientation on shear-wave splitting in subduction zones. The project aims to: (1) quantify variations in crystal preferred orientation (CPO) distribution and shear-wave splitting (SWS) parameters due to along-margin variations...
- The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $398,967 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research calibrating the pace of paleotropical environmental and ecological change during Earth's previous icehouse period from 304 to 280 million years ago. The research aims to identify the stratigraphic position of the Carboniferous-Permian boundary and correlate...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a two-year, $228,130 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to support research entitled "Untangling the Roles of Viscous, Elastic, and Plastic Deformation in Slab Bending." This grant was awarded under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of Earth's integrated system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Through this funding, University of Minnesota researchers will conduct basic research to improve understanding of the different deformation mechanisms involved as oceanic tectonic plates bend upon subducting into the Earth's mantle. The grant period runs from March 1, 2021 through February 28, 2023. Results from this research could provide new insights into geological processes associated with earthquakes and volcanism at plate boundaries.
