Researchers will leverage state-of-the-art x-ray spectroscopy and...
Purdue University was awarded a $108,935 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on climatic control of erosion rates and landscape morphology in Hawaii. The two-year award running from August 2023 to July 2025 will fund research quantifying the influence of fluvial thresholds on landscape response to climate change through study of evolving Hawaiian landforms. Key deliverables include field measurements, digital...
This $499,232 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Purdue University to study the processes that initiate subduction of oceanic crust into the Earth's mantle. The research will focus on analyzing sedimentary and volcanic rock records from the Talkeetna Arc in Alaska to test hypotheses for how subduction begins, a critical but poorly understood aspect of plate tectonics. The project aims to produce a continuous...
The National Science Foundation awarded Purdue University a $244,185 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate the timing and drivers of escarpment retreat in southeast Australia. The research aims to reevaluate the long-standing paradigm on the geomorphic evolution of this region, with the broader goal of understanding how continental rifting shapes the topography of passive continental margins. The project will collect and analyze geologic data to inform new...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Purdue University will provide $256,352 from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2027 to conduct a continental-scale study of Jurassic-Cretaceous basins and mélange belts along the North American Cordillera. The research aims to test competing models for the Mesozoic development of the western Cordillera and its implications for subduction polarity. Key activities will include analyzing the age, provenance,...
