The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) received a $193,590 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on December 15, 2021 to support research efforts concluding on November 30, 2022. The grant funding will support Caltech's project "Probing the Mechanical Properties of the Crust and Upper Mantle Using Geodetic, Remote Sensing and Seismological Observations" under the Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050).

The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Caltech's project aligns with this goal by utilizing geodetic, remote sensing, and seismological observations to probe the mechanical properties of Earth's crust and upper mantle, advancing fundamental knowledge of these regions. The $193,590 in total funding will support Caltech's research activities through the project period ending November 30, 2022.
