The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program awarded a $498,356 project grant to the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) for the project "Controls on Ridgeline Profile Morphology." This 3-year grant, effective July 1, 2024, will fund research to improve the understanding of how ridgelines are shaped and eroded, which is key to predicting natural hazards like landslides, debris flows, and river flooding. The project will test three hypotheses about the controls on ridgeline...
This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $468,724 project grant under its Geosciences program to Washington State University (WSU). The grant supports research to investigate how deformation of granitic rocks may alter their geochemical and isotopic signatures, which are commonly used to reconstruct the formation and evolution of the Earth's crust. The study aims to evaluate whether variably deformed granitic rocks faithfully retain the original geochemical fingerprints of their...
