The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $307,797 Project Grant to Yale University to conduct experimental research on the mechanical properties of the mineral olivine under deep upper mantle conditions. The goal is to improve understanding of transient creep, plastic anisotropy, and the role of grain-boundary sliding in olivine, which are critical factors governing Earth's mantle dynamics and processes like post-glacial rebound. The 3-year project will...
This five-year, $277,481 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research towards developing a new framework for interpreting mantle deformation. The grantee, Columbia University, will integrate theory, experiments, and observations spanning seismic to convective timescales. Researchers will characterize frequency-dependent upper-mantle dissipation in three locations using seismic and geodetic observations. Laboratory...

This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $290,439 supports research at Brown University from November 1, 2022 to August 31, 2027 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund collaborative research integrating observational, experimental, and modeling efforts to characterize the full-spectrum rheological response of Earth's mantle and illuminate underlying microphysical processes controlling viscoelasticity. Observational work will characterize frequency-dependent...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $272,664 project grant to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct collaborative research on subduction megathrust rheology. The research aims to quantify how the deformation behavior and spatial heterogeneity of subduction zone rocks affect fault slip behavior, including the occurrence of slow earthquakes and slip events. The project will involve new laboratory experiments on subduction zone...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $174,000 to fund research examining the interplay between fault material strength, roughness and friction at various scales. The award will support work conducted between June 2021 through May 2023 in Santa Cruz, California. As part of its mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise's understanding of the integrated Earth system, the Geosciences program aims to expand...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $701,062 provides funding from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025 to Yale University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award will support research into quantitatively assessing the impact of unequal stresses on geologic processes in subduction zones. Specifically, the grantee will develop theoretical models and apply them to natural samples to evaluate how non-hydrostatic stress affects mineral interface stability, solid...
