This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $296,096 to Brown University provides funding to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle beneath active volcanoes using new seismic analysis techniques. The 2-year project, starting on Sep 1, 2024, aims to advance understanding of how magma storage and migration affect the eruptibility of volcanoes in regions like Yellowstone, the Cascades Arc, and the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex. Key...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $597,142 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research titled "Volcanism on the Edge - Basaltic Volcanism from Source to Surface across the Colorado Plateau/Basin & Range Transition in SW Utah." The three-year award beginning August 1, 2022 will fund research examining nearly forty Quaternary basaltic volcanic fields...
This $374,308 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research at Montana State University focused on understanding the pre-eruptive processes and timescales that trigger volcanic eruptions, particularly at Alaska's Okmok volcano. The research team will integrate geochemical analysis of erupted products with geophysical monitoring data to elucidate the deep magmatic processes that lead to different eruption styles, volumes, and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $348,774 project grant to the University of Missouri at Kansas City to support research titled "Collaborative Research: Transport of Magma in the Near Surface at Small Volcanoes- Experimental Intrusion of Basaltic Melt into Unconsolidated Sediments" from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The grant funding will support experimental research into the transport and intrusion of magma near the surface at small...
The National Science Foundation awarded $499,088 under the Geosciences (47.050) federal grant program to The University of New Mexico from September 2022 to August 2024. This Project Grant will support the establishment of a new national volcano science center called the Converse Center. The Center aims to advance scientific understanding of volcanic processes through coordinated observation and data collection during eruptions. It will establish best practices for multi-scale data gathering and...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation provides $174,000 to study the role of deformation in triggering volcanic eruptions. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this award will support research from September 2021 through August 2023 to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences through basic research. This particular grant will further...
This $490,303 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project aimed at improving the understanding of lava flow properties and their impact on volcanic eruption hazard assessment. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Developing and deploying two new field tools to directly measure the viscosity of natural lava flows, which contain critical elements like bubbles and crystals...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $302,617 project grant to Stanford University from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant supports research towards developing a process-based understanding of different eruptive regimes at persistently degassing volcanoes. This work will advance the goals of the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and...
This National Science Foundation Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) project grant award of $292,742 to the University of Houston System will fund collaborative research to re-evaluate magma storage depths and the origin of chemical variability in volcanic systems in the Cascade region. The key products of this 3-year project include: Measuring the volatile contents, including CO2, in olivine-hosted melt inclusions to better constrain magma storage depths in the Cascade region and gain insights into...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant award for $180,000 from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026 will support research to develop a new "Eruption Stability Diagram" classification system for volcanic eruptions. The objective is to better understand and predict the evolution of volcanic hazards, such as ash clouds and pyroclastic density currents, by accounting for the effects of varying eruption rates and micrometer-scale processes. The research...
