This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $470,318 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from October 2021 through December 2022. The award will support collaborative research to better understand the contribution of crustal deformation to present-day tectonics at convergent margins like the southern Cascadia forearc. Researchers will utilize multiple geochronologic techniques to develop a record of exhumation and erosion in...
This two-year, $354,309 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to develop a new three-dimensional subsurface framework model of the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest. The awardee, the University of Texas at Austin, will analyze seismic data collected during the 2021 Cascadia Seismic Imaging Experiment to study the geometry of the plate interface along the margin, variations in plate interface properties, the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences will support research at Purdue University to construct seismic models of the North American cratonic interior. The $235,547 grant, awarded on August 1, 2023, will run through July 31, 2026. The research aims to improve understanding of the tectonic processes that have modified the relatively stable North American craton over billions of years, with implications for continental evolution across...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $174,000 Project Grant to researchers at Riverside, California under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support work using distributed acoustic sensing to detect tremors and characterize earthquake hazard sites in the Cascadia region. Through June 2022 to May 2024, the grantees will evaluate earthquake risks by deploying fiber optic cables to monitor seismic activity. Insights gained from this work will further the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) and Hebrew University to directly measure fault rupture dynamics and seismic wave propagation in a laboratory setting. The $399,601 award, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will leverage specialized laboratory equipment to conduct high-speed imaging and in-situ seismogram...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $100,459 to the University of Washington to support collaborative research building a new three-dimensional subsurface framework for the Cascadia Subduction Zone through integrated analysis of data from the 2021 Cascadia Seismic Imaging Experiment (CASIE21). Key products include a regional-scale structural interpretation of offshore Cascadia from...
This $191,710 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to improve understanding of the connections between plate tectonics and great earthquakes. The award aims to develop new mathematical and computational methods to more efficiently model the complex, coupled physics of plate motions and earthquake events on the largest supercomputers. The research team, which includes geophysicists,...
This Project Grant award for $398,707 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between the University of Oregon and other institutions to study the geologic history and tectonic evolution of the Pacific Northwest region. The project aims to test models for the surface response to the Eocene collision of the Siletz oceanic terrane with western North America, as well as the subsequent post-collision adjustments that shaped...
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 (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $172,594 Project Grant to Oregon State University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a 3-year collaborative undergraduate research project. The grant will fund an investigation into the tectonic and landscape evolution of the Klamath Mountains region of the Pacific Northwest, which was shaped by the accretion of the Siletzia oceanic plateau onto the North American plate millions of years ago. The principal...
