This $161,641 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to apply active and passive seismic imaging techniques to provide a high-resolution three-dimensional image of the subsurface summit structure of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. Funded from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026, the award to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will integrate an active-passive seismic survey of the Kilauea summit with a temporary nodal...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $470,000 Project Grant to Stanford University to support research entitled "Insights into Episodic Caldera Collapse and Magmatic Systems from the 2018 Eruption of Kilauea Volcano." The grant period runs from May 15, 2021 through April 30, 2024. The funding will support basic research conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system...
This $699,699 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to apply active and passive seismic imaging techniques to provide a high-resolution three-dimensional image of the subsurface summit structure of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii after its 2018 collapse. The University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science will partner with the U.S. Geological Survey to deploy a temporary seismic array and conduct...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 Project Grant to study closing the gap between analogue studies and numerical lava flow models using insights from the 2018 Kilauea eruption. The award period is from June 2021 through May 2023. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), the grantee will strengthen fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grantee will enhance...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $230,516 to the University of Utah to characterize the spatial and temporal variations of volcanic rift zones on basaltic shield volcanoes in Hawaii. The project aims to obtain detailed subsurface imaging of the rift zones at Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes, which is essential for volcanic hazard mitigation. It will collect seismic data, including a follow-up survey to one conducted after...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $175,879 provides funding for a collaborative research project to characterize the spatial and temporal variations of volcanic rift zones on basaltic shield volcanoes, with a focus on Kilauea and Mauna Loa in Hawaii. The project aims to obtain detailed subsurface imaging of the rift zones and their characteristics, which are essential for enhancing volcanic hazard mitigation capabilities. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $280,726 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to measure the deformation of the seafloor off Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii over a 4-year period. The research will deploy a seafloor geodesy network of 4 GNSS-acoustic sites to track horizontal displacement rates along a profile above the Kilauea decollement, a nearly horizontal fault similar to major earthquake faults at subduction zones. The...
This $213,696 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award will support research to gain new insights into the subsurface magma reservoirs below Hawaii. The project will use seismic data and modern imaging techniques to determine the depth, dimensions, and melt fraction of magma storage zones, and explore the relationship between magma migration and seismic activity. The research will be conducted by the University of Illinois, with a PhD student...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $261,540.00 to the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) to explore the capabilities of a new technique for measuring the rheology (flow properties) of three-phase basaltic lava, including liquid, crystals, and bubbles. The goal is to improve modeling of volcanic processes and lava flow hazards, particularly for Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii. The project will collect lava samples from...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $405,563 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) federal grant program to the University of Miami to conduct a three-year seismic investigation of Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii. The project aims to deploy 54 seismometers on and around the volcano to record local and distant earthquakes, analyze the data to map the subsurface structure and identify magma chambers and potential pathways for magma ascent. This...
