This three-year, $108,172 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to resolve conflicting evidence regarding metamorphic pressures and stratigraphy in the Tethyan Himalaya. The grantee, Amherst College, will lead an integrated field and laboratory study examining the geometric, temperature, and pressure relationships in metamorphic rocks. The research aims to test the controversial concept of non-lithostatic pressure preservation...
This three-year, $212,432 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to resolve conflicting evidence regarding metamorphic pressures and stratigraphy in the Tethyan Himalaya. The grantee, University of North Carolina at Wilmington, will lead an integrated field and laboratory study to determine the geometric, temperature, and pressure relationships in this region and assess the viability of non-lithostatic pressure conditions...
This $449,746 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of Nevada, Reno to investigate how the continental crust responds structurally, thermally, and compositionally to the transition from subduction to collision during plate convergence. Specifically, the research team will establish a cross-section through the ancient Gangdese batholith crust in southern Tibet to study how crustal properties vary with depth. They...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a 3-year Project Grant totaling $265,694 to Western Washington University to study the impact of terrane accretion on the evolution of fault systems in the Eastern Himalaya. This research project, funded under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will reconstruct the kinematic history of a key fault system in the Eastern Himalayan indenter corner, testing the hypothesis that the accretion of sliver terranes along...
This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
This $229,971 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) will support a collaborative research project to evaluate the role of terrane accretion on the evolution of indenter corner fault systems in the Eastern Himalayan region. The key objectives of the 3-year project are to reconstruct the kinematic history of a triple junction in the Eastern Himalayan indenter corner, focusing on the Noa Dihing Fault, in order to test the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $381,275 to the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) will fund collaborative research to investigate changes in Bhutan's glacial geomorphology, hydrology, and dynamics using geophysical methods. The project brings together U.S. and Bhutanese scientists to study the Lunana glaciers region, with the goal of improving understanding of sediment transport, landscape change, glacier movements, and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $185,478.00 in funding to Northern Illinois University (NIU) to evaluate tectonic models for the western United States Cordillera region through a detailed study of the Pelona-Orocopia-Rand schist. The researchers will use modern analytical techniques, including Raman spectroscopy, bulk chemical analysis, and pressure-temperature modeling, to determine the age, pressure, and temperature...
Boise State University was awarded a three-year, $341,436 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research titled "How do ultrahigh pressure metamorphic sheets form and exhume? A case study from the Tso Morari Complex, India." The research aims to strengthen fundamental knowledge and understanding of integrated Earth system processes through basic investigation of atmospheric, earth, and...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,141 supports research by Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The research aims to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using low-temperature thermochronology. Researchers will study the thermal imprint of sedimentary cover on basement rocks beneath major unconformities to fill a one-billion-year gap in the...
