This National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $409,005 to the University of Texas at Austin for a collaborative research project examining rodingites as recorders of tectonic processes. The research will determine the pressure-temperature-deformation-fluid-time histories of rodingites from the Dun Mountain ophiolite belt in New Zealand to constrain the timing and conditions of serpentinization and interpret the tectonic evolution of plate boundaries....
This Project Grant award of $390,717 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) to the Regents of the University of Michigan will support research to understand how tectonic plate boundaries evolve over time, particularly the transition from subduction to oblique collision occurring in central New Zealand. The key research tasks include: 1) characterizing the rate and kinematics of shallow faulting near the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake; 2)...
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 (NSF) awarded a $264,044 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to Western Washington University (WWU) to study active deformation and exhumation at the transition from subduction to oblique collision in central New Zealand. The three-year project (9/1/2023 - 8/31/2026) aims to characterize the rate and kinematics of shallow faulting, measure differential uplift along major rivers, and quantify the onset, rate, and spatial pattern of bedrock...
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....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $399,282 to the University of South Carolina to conduct collaborative research on the thermal structure of an ancient Alpine subduction zone. The research team will integrate petrochronology (pressure-temperature-time constraints) of exhumed rocks from the Western Alps with geodynamic subduction modeling to characterize the time-evolving thermal conditions along the paleo-subduction...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $405,037 Project Grant to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2025. The award will support collaborative research to better understand how the depth of magmatic processes in the mid-ocean ridge system varies based on tectonic setting. Researchers will analyze melt inclusions and crystals in ocean floor basalts from a...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $185,478.00 in funding to Northern Illinois University (NIU) to evaluate tectonic models for the western United States Cordillera region through a detailed study of the Pelona-Orocopia-Rand schist. The researchers will use modern analytical techniques, including Raman spectroscopy, bulk chemical analysis, and pressure-temperature modeling, to determine the age, pressure, and temperature...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $249,068 provides funding from February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2025 to support collaborative research understanding the influence of tectonic setting on the depth of magmatic processes in the mid-ocean ridge system. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system, this award will...
This Project Grant award of $291,976 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support field research and laboratory studies in central Chile to test competing tectonic models for the Mesozoic evolution of the South American margin. The research aims to determine if the Andes formed through continuous East-dipping subduction or the accretion of an intra-oceanic island arc. Key activities include using igneous zircon U-Pb geochronology, trace element and...
