The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $188,294 project grant to The University of New Mexico under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2024. The grant will support research to investigate structure and seismicity within the southern region of the 1964 Great Alaska earthquake rupture area using a dense node array. Specifically, the grantee will reanalyze seismic data collected in 2019 by 400...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $226,022 to the University of Washington to investigate slow slip and fault locking along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone. The research team will deploy broadband seismic instruments on the Kenai Peninsula and use distributed acoustic sensing technology in the Cook Inlet region to collect data that will be used to model the structure and seismic wave speeds in the Pacific and North...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $347,238 to Michigan State University (MSU) to conduct collaborative research on the structure and behavior of the Alaska megathrust subduction zone. The project aims to enhance the fundamental understanding of how geological structures influence seismic activity in subduction zones, with the ultimate goal of improving earthquake hazard mitigation efforts. Key research activities...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) provides $201,306 to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to conduct a collaborative research investigation of slow slip and fault locking along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone. The research team will deploy traditional broadband seismic instruments on the Kenai Peninsula and use distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology along the Cook Inlet to collect seismic data. This data will be used to model the...
This $499,286 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project between the U.S. and the United Kingdom's National Environment Research Council (NERC) to study the long-term history and impacts of earthquakes and tsunamis along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone. The research aims to fill knowledge gaps between observed events and prehistoric occurrences by using innovative paleogeodetic...
Cornell University was awarded a $318,917 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to conduct collaborative research on seismic cycles and earthquake nucleation on heterogeneous faults. Through laboratory experiments, numerical simulations, and analysis of data from Whillans Ice Stream in Antarctica, the researchers aim to better understand slow slip and microearthquakes that precede large earthquakes. The experiments will test how non-uniform fault...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $225,816 will support collaborative research to investigate the evolution of elastic wave properties during the seismic cycle. The primary objectives are to explore whether variations in seismic wave properties can be identified before and/or after earthquakes, determine the underlying physical mechanisms, and assess the potential for operational forecasting of ruptures on meter-scale...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $158,159 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa on January 15, 2024 through its Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program. The grant will fund a collaborative research project to investigate the relationship between the structure of the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone and megathrust earthquake characteristics. The project will utilize seismic data from community experiments to develop high-resolution models of the plate interface,...
The University of Alaska Fairbanks was awarded a $108,950 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2025. The grant will support collaborative research to untangle slip across the Simeonof seismic gap from seconds to years following the July 2020 M7.8 earthquake. As part of the Geosciences program's goal of increasing understanding of the integrated...
