This National Science Foundation project grant of $117,832 awarded on July 1, 2022 will support research into the geological processes that have shaped the continental lithosphere beneath New England through time. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the investigators from Williams College and research institutions will conduct seismic imaging of the crust and upper mantle using data from deployments of seismometers in New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $385,643 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College to investigate magma diversification and mobilization processes in the lower continental crust. The 3-year research project will link field mapping, microstructural analysis, geochemistry, and geochronology to test competing models for how magmas form and are extracted from the deep roots of continental arcs. The...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $165,353 to Yale University from July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The funding supports collaborative research between geologists and geophysicists to test hypotheses of channel flow and ductile extrusion in the Nashoba terrane of southeastern New England using integrated geophysical and geological approaches. Specifically, the grantees will deploy...
The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College a three-year, $288,924 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research resolving conflicting tectonic models for the Laramide orogeny and flat-slab subduction in southern California. The University will perform three field seasons of data collection in the San Gabriel Mountains, along with geochronology, geochemistry, and microstructural laboratory...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a collaborative research effort to bridge the gap between short-term earthquake dynamics and long-term plate tectonic processes. The $205,000 award to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University will develop advanced computational methods to efficiently model the coupled physics of great earthquakes and plate tectonics on the largest supercomputers. The project aims to provide a...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $311,914 to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to conduct collaborative research on advances in African crust and upper mantle dynamics from seismology, geodesy, and geodynamics. The goal is to improve understanding of plate tectonics and the Earth's dynamic interior by investigating how the African continent interacts with the underlying convecting...
This $449,746 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of Nevada, Reno to investigate how the continental crust responds structurally, thermally, and compositionally to the transition from subduction to collision during plate convergence. Specifically, the research team will establish a cross-section through the ancient Gangdese batholith crust in southern Tibet to study how crustal properties vary with depth. They...
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...
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 awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $464,798 to Louisiana State University to conduct a collaborative seismic experiment investigating mantle dynamics during the early stages of seafloor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean. The research aims to understand how the central Atlantic Ocean first formed approximately 190 million years ago when the Pangaea supercontinent rifted apart. The project will collect new marine seismic...
