The two-year grant running from July 15, 2021 to June 30, 2023 will fund research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program supports basic research...
This $224,382 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to develop a detailed 3D model of the Los Angeles Basin. The project aims to improve understanding of the basin's complex subsurface structure, which significantly impacts earthquake ground motion and seismic hazard assessment for the densely populated region. The researchers will analyze new high-resolution seismic data from a 300-node...
This $3.2 million cooperative agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey will fund the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) to conduct earthquake research from February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2024. The research is part of the U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) and will focus on developing improved models for earthquakes and seismic ground motion through collaborative research efforts. Key activities include developing workflows to integrate...
This $544,307 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project investigating seismic cycle processes in the earthquake critical zone of major continental strike-slip faults. The research team, led by Utah State University (USU), will bridge geoscience and engineering concepts, data, and models to deliver research products and broader impacts across six key pathways: Establishing a...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $303,820 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Santa Cruz to characterize the seismic radiation from finite earthquake sources and investigate its links to fault physics. The research aims to improve understanding of large earthquake scenarios in different tectonic plate boundary settings by developing physics-based computational models that can reproduce geophysical observations. Key objectives...
This $203,961 National Science Foundation Project Grant from the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to develop a new 3D velocity and structural model of sedimentary basins in the Los Angeles region. The University of Arizona will receive funding from January 15, 2023 to June 30, 2023 to conduct seismic field experiments using over 700 instruments across 10 lines. This will allow imaging of subsurface structures channeling earthquake waves into downtown Los Angeles at a higher...
This Project Grant award of $122,773 was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to San Diego State University Foundation. The funding will support a collaborative research project to identify unique indicators of past earthquake ruptures preserved in fault damage zones. The project aims to develop criteria to distinguish earthquake-related damage from long-term fault evolution, and to test the hypothesis that the style and intensity of damage on faults...
