The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill received a $137,689 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant supports collaborative research titled "Collaborative Research: Mantle Metasomatism During Serpentinization in Subduction Zones: Insights from In-Situ Boron Isotopes" from July 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022.
The research aims to strengthen fundamental knowledge of integrated Earth system processes through studying mantle metasomatism during serpentinization in subduction zones. Insights will be gained using in-situ boron isotope analysis. The award is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to expand understanding of the interconnected Earth system. The University will perform the research and provide resulting data and knowledge to advance scientific understanding of geochemical cycling in subduction zone environments.
