Syracuse University was awarded a $253,594 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system.
Under this three-year award beginning September 2021, Syracuse University researchers will conduct collaborative research to revisit the water-saturated granite solidus. The funding will support basic research exploring the melting behavior of granite when saturated with water, advancing fundamental knowledge of integrated Earth system processes. Results of this NSF-funded work have the potential to enhance understanding of magma generation and migration.
