This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $189,438 to The University Corporation at California State University, Northridge will support a two-phase research effort to model the earthquake dynamics of complex thrust fault systems in the Western Transverse Ranges of California. In the first phase, undergraduate student researchers will conduct a series of simulations to determine physics-based rules governing when an earthquake rupture is...
This $227,192 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation, supports research to unravel spatiotemporal deformation patterns in the Basin and Range and Walker Lane provinces. The award aims to combine geochronology methods and scaffolded peer-peer student mentoring to better understand how tectonic plates interact by moving towards each other (convergent), moving away from...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $174,000 to support research on the evolution of landscapes buried by Quaternary sediments. The two-year award, made effective February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2024, will fund work advancing fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grant recipient will conduct studies of landscapes...

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 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...
This $191,710 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is supporting a collaborative research effort to address fundamental issues linking great earthquakes with plate tectonics. The interdisciplinary team, led by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), is developing advanced computational methods and algorithms to enable the simulation of long-term tectonic plate motions coupled with the space-time evolution of stresses...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $164,486 to the University of Alabama to conduct collaborative research evaluating tectonic models for the western U.S. Cordillera through the metamorphic history of the Pelona-Orocopia-Rand schists. The research aims to test the viability of the flat slab subduction model against alternative hypotheses, including terrane collision, by determining the age, pressure, and temperature recorded...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded $127,423 under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to The University Corporation for a project grant titled "Collaborative Research: A New Appraisal of Tectonic Mobility in the Northern Cordillera Using Connections Between the Coast Mountains Batholith and Alberta Foreland Basin - Western North America."

This $224,382 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to develop a detailed 3D model of the Los Angeles Basin to accurately estimate earthquake ground motion and assess seismic hazard in this densely populated region. The project will analyze data from a 300-node geophone array deployed across the LA Basin in 2022 and integrate it with other seismic and gravity observations to construct the basin model. This model will help explain...
This three-year, $393,948 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to resolve conflicting tectonic models for the Laramide orogeny and flat-slab subduction in southern California. The grantee, the University Corporation at California State University, Northridge, will support field work and laboratory analyses in the San Gabriel Mountains to better understand the timing and driving forces behind mountain building in the western...
