This National Science Foundation project grant of $157,439 will support enhancements to the Magma Chamber Simulator modeling tool and related training activities from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. Funded under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the work will advance thermodynamic modeling of open magmatic systems through additions to the publicly available Magma Chamber Simulator. Key additions include capabilities for fluid transport, isotopic disequilibrium, equilibrium...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $465,220 to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology will support collaborative research to develop a new solution model for igneous biotite. The goal is to improve the understanding of pre-eruptive temperature, pressure, oxygen fugacity, and water content conditions of silicic magmas using biotite mineral compositions. The researchers will conduct high-temperature and pressure experiments to...
The University of Colorado received a $121,461 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant funds basic research to image volcanic transcrustal magmatic systems using teleseismic converted phases. The NSF Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through support of basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $239,517 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support research exploring the potential role of a basal magma ocean in influencing early Earth's magnetic field processes. Over the two-year period from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025, the grantee will collect new experimental measurements on the physical properties of iron-bearing silicate melts under various...
This $550,014 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research at Arizona State University to advance understanding of the influence of subducted slabs on thermal and chemical heterogeneities in Earth's lowermost mantle. The awardee will perform high-resolution thermo-chemical modeling using supercomputing to simulate the variable behaviors and interactions of subducted tectonic plates...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $317,272 will fund the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between the Earth's surface and interior processes. The principal awardee, the University of Colorado, will couple two widely used community codes - ASPECT (originally for simulating mantle dynamics) and LANDLAB (for modeling surface processes) - to enable...
This $144,199 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of a novel solution model for igneous biotite. The goal is to improve the ability to determine the temperature, pressure, and water content of magmas at depth prior to volcanic eruptions, which is critical for assessing hazards at many volcanoes. The researchers will conduct high-temperature, high-pressure experiments to grow biotite and study its composition....
