Northern Arizona University received a $318,336 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on June 15, 2021 to fund research examining the impact of horst and graben subduction on sediment flux and shallow décollement geometry in the Japan Trench. The award will support this research project through May 31, 2024.
The National Science Foundation Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050) aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanding fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system by supporting basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. This particular award furthers those goals by providing Northern Arizona University researchers with $318,336 over three years to conduct basic research studying how variations in seafloor topography impact sediment transport and shallow faulting mechanisms in subduction zones, with a focus on the Japan Trench system.
