The National Science Foundation awarded a $274,166 Project Grant to Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the linkages between glacio-climatic, hydrothermal, and volcanic processes in the central Andes from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2025. Specifically, the research aims to establish spatial and temporal relationships between glacier fluctuations including deglaciation and the onset of hydrothermal and/or volcanic activity through constraining the distribution and timing of events. It will also make quantitative estimations of hydrothermal responses to glacial unloading and changes in water and heat supply using field data, ice thickness models, and numerical models of multiphase flow and deformation in heterogeneous porous media. The interdisciplinary project brings together experts from US institutions and Chile to advance understanding of competing controls on hydrothermal responses related to glacier distribution, thickness, rates of advance/recession, rheology, permeability, and reservoir depth.
