This National Science Foundation project grant award of $137,781 provides funding from July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2025 to support collaborative research on the conditions and timing of rodingitization and associated serpentinization of the Dun Mountain ophiolite belt in New Zealand. The award was made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support basic research expanding understanding of integrated Earth system processes. Specifically, the University of South Carolina will determine...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $272,664 project grant to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct collaborative research on subduction megathrust rheology. The research aims to quantify how the deformation behavior and spatial heterogeneity of subduction zone rocks affect fault slip behavior, including the occurrence of slow earthquakes and slip events. The project will involve new laboratory experiments on subduction zone...
The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $358,157 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system. Under the award, UT Austin will conduct collaborative research on vertical signatures of lithospheric deformation in the western United States from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The research is expected to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) award of $183,953 to Texas Tech University System will support collaborative research to reconstruct melt compositions across cordilleran arc segments. The research aims to evaluate petrologic proxies of crustal thickness and transcrustal differentiation, which are critical to understanding the formation of mountains, ore deposits, sediments, and the continental crust where people live. The project will collect data from...
This $185,953 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to leverage isotopic compositions of igneous systems to resolve the geometry and distribution of subducted sediment in the southern U.S. Cordillera. The research, led by the University of Texas at El Paso, aims to determine the distribution and geometry of subducted sediment in the continental crust by using igneous rocks as "deep-crustal probes" to...
This $257,390 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research by the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the formation, transport, and deposition of economically important metals in the lower continental crust. The project will focus on studying variably metasomatized magmatic sulfide deposits in the Ivrea-Verbano Zone in Italy, which formed in the deep crust and were tectonically uplifted. The research aims to better...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $167,851 project grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research titled "Collaborative Research: The Role of Subducting Seamounts in Fault Stability and Slip Behavior Throughout the Seismic Cycle." The two-year award beginning September 1, 2021 will support basic research into understanding the integrated Earth system through studying the influence of underwater volcanoes on fault behavior and...
This $443,481 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site focused on experimental rock deformation research. The REU Site, titled "Research Opportunities in Rock Deformation" (RORD), provides training and mentorship in experimental rock deformation techniques for undergraduate students. Over a 3-year period from January 2026 to December 2028, the program will host 10...
This $265,048 federal Project Grant award by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research at the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the role of hydrated silica minerals in the Earth's deep mantle and their impact on plate tectonics processes and the global water cycle. The project will measure the sound velocities, water solubility, and phase transitions of stishovite and post-stishovite silica minerals under high pressure-temperature...
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...
