San Francisco State University served as a sub-awardee to design the...
The Stony Brook University Research Foundation received a three-year, $201,164 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to support research integrating tectonics, surface processes and paleobiodiversity using numerical and observational approaches. The grant was awarded June 1, 2021 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the geosciences through basic research of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, the funding will support...
This $589,708 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to advance artificial intelligence (AI) methods for imaging and monitoring the Earth's subsurface. The project aims to develop a multi-task deep learning inversion framework that can simultaneously estimate subsurface velocity structures and earthquake source parameters using passive seismic data. By integrating deep learning with conventional full-waveform inversion...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $317,272 will fund the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between the Earth's surface and interior processes. The principal awardee, the University of Colorado, will couple two widely used community codes - ASPECT (originally for simulating mantle dynamics) and LANDLAB (for modeling surface processes) - to enable...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $557,425 Project Grant to Future Earth for collaborative research supporting the organization's core functions from July 2021 through February 2023. The grant was awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research support. Through this funding, Future Earth will receive core support for its international global change research...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $324,824 to support activities led by the National Academy of Sciences' Board on Earth Sciences and Resources (BESR) and its Standing Committee on Solid Earth Geophysics (COSEG).
