- The National Science Foundation (NSF) is providing a Project Grant award of $348,474 to Northwestern University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate the mechanics that govern the onset and recurrence of supershear earthquakes. The 3-year project, which runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, aims to improve earthquake hazard models and support safer infrastructure design in earthquake-prone regions by combining theoretical modeling and advanced numerical simulations...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $345,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) from August 15, 2025 through July 31, 2028. The project aims to systematically investigate the rupture characteristics of large global earthquakes (M ≥ 7.0) from 2000 to 2022 using advanced seismic back-projection techniques. Key goals include building a comprehensive global database of earthquake rupture...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant, awarded to the San Diego State University Research Foundation, aims to study fault damage zones to assess potential earthquake hazards along known faults. The project will develop criteria to distinguish earthquake-related damage from long-term fault growth in order to estimate the maximum earthquake magnitude a fault can host. The $122,773 award, which runs from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2028, will fund a...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $386,220 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to develop machine learning techniques for generating realistic, synthetic earthquake ground motion models. This 3-year project, starting on January 1, 2026, aims to create a computational model that can rapidly produce earthquake simulations, enabling geologists to efficiently study large, infrequent earthquakes and assess the...
- This five-year, $475,451 National Science Foundation project grant in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research examining how topography preserves details of the seismic cycle. The principal investigator will develop computational landscape simulations under varying tectonic and climatic conditions to identify topographic signatures of the seismic cycle. They will then assess whether these signatures are recognizable in natural landscapes with independent constraints on seismic...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of machine learning techniques to generate realistic, synthetic ground motion data for studying large earthquakes. The $249,272 award to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, operating through the University of Nevada, Reno, will enable the creation of faster, more generalizable physics-based models of seismic ground motions. These models will be...
- The University of Southern California was awarded a $275,832 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to conduct research titled "Collaborative Research: Generation of Rock Damage and Localization of Seismicity Before Large Earthquakes." The three-year grant, awarded September 1, 2021 and concluding August 31, 2024, will fund research into strengthening the understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in geosciences, as part...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $462,400 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California San Diego's (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The grant will develop machine learning techniques to generate realistic, synthetic ground motions for large earthquakes in minutes, enabling geologists to efficiently study and model these infrequent, damaging events. The research aims to overcome the lack of observational data on large...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) and Hebrew University to directly measure fault rupture dynamics and seismic wave propagation in a laboratory setting. The $399,601 award, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will leverage specialized laboratory equipment to conduct high-speed imaging and in-situ seismogram...
- This $729,600 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will enable the University of Oklahoma (OU) to develop new computational tools that combine real-world geophysical observations and physics-based models to better understand megathrust fault systems and assess subduction zone earthquake hazards. The research team will study major earthquakes in Chile, Japan, and Alaska over the past 20 years to investigate their immediate and...
