- 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,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $247,428 Project Grant to Trustees of Dartmouth College, Office of Sponsored Projects Division (Dartmouth College), under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The goal of this 3-year collaborative research project is to examine the Porcupine Fault System in northeastern Alaska and northwestern Yukon, Canada, which likely played a key role in the Mesozoic opening of the Arctic Ocean. The research involves a new...
- 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...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $368,003 Project Grant to Texas Tech University under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research testing models for the Late Jurassic Nevadan orogeny. The research aims to determine the age, provenance, and structural evolution of the Galice and Mariposa basins in Oregon and California through analysis of basin sediments and tectonic structures. The grant will fund research...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Purdue University will provide $256,352 from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2027 to conduct a continental-scale study of Jurassic-Cretaceous basins and mélange belts along the North American Cordillera. The research aims to test competing models for the Mesozoic development of the western Cordillera and its implications for subduction polarity. Key activities will include analyzing the age, provenance,...
- This National Science Foundation Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) project grant award of $191,257 to Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas supports a collaborative, continental-scale research study on the Mesozoic development of the North American Cordillera mountain range. The research aims to evaluate competing models for the tectonic processes that formed the Cordillera, coupling the analysis of mélange belts and sedimentary basins across four transects from Alaska to California. The project will...
- 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 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...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 two-year Project Grant to researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050).
