This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,141 supports research by Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The research aims to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using low-temperature thermochronology. Researchers will study the thermal imprint of sedimentary cover on basement rocks beneath major unconformities to fill a one-billion-year gap in the...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities provides $160,019 to Idaho State University under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083) to conduct collaborative research reconstructing the geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia. The research will use thermochronology studies of sedimentary and basement rocks to investigate ancient supercontinent breakup processes and fill a one...
This $184,781 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program supports a collaborative research effort to study the Mesozoic development of the North American Cordillera mountain range. The research team, led by Montana State University, will conduct a continental-scale analysis of sedimentary basins and mélange belts across four transects in California, British Columbia, southeast Alaska, and central Alaska. Key objectives include determining the age,...
This $116,693 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to illuminate fundamental climate processes that influenced terrestrial ecology in western Pangea during Earth's previous icehouse period. Key goals combine paleontology, isotope geochemistry, and magnetostratigraphy to: identify the stratigraphic position of the Carboniferous-Permian boundary in Utah's Cutler Group sedimentary rocks; determine the pace and...
This $321,596 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support fundamental research on the structural reactivation of ancient fault zones in the Black Hills region of western South Dakota. The research aims to develop a better understanding of how plate tectonic processes have shaped the continental interior of North America, with a focus on determining the timing and mechanisms of uplift in the isolated Black Hills mountain range. The...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $349,282 to Dartmouth College from July 2021 through June 2023. The funding supports collaborative research using multisystem deep-time thermochronology to decipher Neoproterozoic exhumation patterns in time and space. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system via basic...
This $439,120 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The project aims to gather paleomagnetic and mineral age data from rock samples in Idaho and Montana to test hypotheses about the timing and origin of mountain building events in the Northern Rocky Mountains and Pacific Northwest region. This includes investigating whether...
This $371,002 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research investigating the processes of lithospheric foundering, which is the detachment and sinking of the Earth's lower crust and mantle, and its impact on orogeny (mountain-building) in the Southern Puna Plateau of Argentina. The research aims to generate new geological datasets and numerical modeling results to test hypotheses about the geological evidence and physical...
This $183,953 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to reconstruct ancient volcanic arc melt compositions and evaluate petrologic proxies of past crustal thickness. The research team from Texas Tech University System aims to 1) identify and quantify crystal accumulation in plutonic rock samples, 2) reconstruct trace element melt compositions, and 3) assess melt evolution across four ancient arc...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to investigate the timing and origins of mountain building events in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Specifically, the work will gather and analyze data from rock samples in Idaho and Montana to test hypotheses about the potential clockwise rotation of large crustal blocks in this region and the associated...
