The National Science Foundation awarded Washington State University a $173,436 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research quantifying the role of simultaneous large low shear velocity provinces and continents on Earth's cooling history. Over a three-year period from July 2023 to June 2026, the university will use numerical simulations of mantle convection to study how Earth's thermal evolution and internal mantle dynamics are jointly altered by...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded Washington State University a $300,153 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The grant will support the collaborative research project "CORRELATED VELOCITY MODELS AS DYNAMIC UPSCALING AND MODEL TRANSLATION TOOLS FOR WATERSHED-SCALE HYDROBIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLING" to be conducted in Pullman, Washington. The Geosciences program seeks to strengthen understanding of Earth's...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1.6 million Project Grant to Washington State University from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant funds research to understand the use of discretion and its socio-environmental consequences for reservoir systems. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Over the four-year period of...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded Washington State University a $273,481 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The research aims to inform river corridor transport modeling by harnessing community data and physics-aware machine learning. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated system through...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $186,556 to the University of Washington for collaborative research probing feedbacks between thermal structure, petrologic transformation, and rheologic evolution within dynamically evolving subduction zones. The research products will advance understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research supported by the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program aims to...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $253,617 will fund research from August 2022 to July 2025 to resolve conflicting evidence regarding metamorphic pressures and stratigraphy in the Tethyan Himalaya. The research team from the University of Nevada, Reno will conduct integrated field and laboratory studies to determine the geometric, temperature, and pressure relationships in basal strata of the Tethyan section. They will test the controversial concept of non-lithostatic pressure...
This three-year, $108,172 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to resolve conflicting evidence regarding metamorphic pressures and stratigraphy in the Tethyan Himalaya. The grantee, Amherst College, will lead an integrated field and laboratory study examining the geometric, temperature, and pressure relationships in metamorphic rocks. The research aims to test the controversial concept of non-lithostatic pressure preservation...
This three-year, $212,432 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to resolve conflicting evidence regarding metamorphic pressures and stratigraphy in the Tethyan Himalaya. The grantee, University of North Carolina at Wilmington, will lead an integrated field and laboratory study to determine the geometric, temperature, and pressure relationships in this region and assess the viability of non-lithostatic pressure conditions...
