The University of Hawaii at Manoa was awarded a $244,633 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant supports research entitled "The Fate of Zircon and Other Accessories in Deeply Subducted Terrestrial Sediments" from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024.
The grant funding will allow researchers at the University of Hawaii to conduct basic research on the integrated Earth system through studying how zircon and other minerals are altered during subduction of terrigenous sediments deep into the Earth's mantle. This work will expand fundamental knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences as outlined in the objectives of the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research findings will provide new insights into geological processes involving recycling of the Earth's crust.
