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 National Science Foundation Project Grant of $253,617 will fund research from August 2022 to July 2025 to resolve conflicting evidence regarding metamorphic pressures and stratigraphy in the Tethyan Himalaya. The research team from the University of Nevada, Reno will conduct integrated field and laboratory studies to determine the geometric, temperature, and pressure relationships in basal strata of the Tethyan section. They will test the controversial concept of non-lithostatic pressure...
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 $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 $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...
Amherst College received a $105,974 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on August 1, 2021 to support research activities through July 31, 2024. The grant was awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, the funding will support collaborative research examining feedbacks between thermal structure, petrologic transformation, and rheologic...
This $104,044 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into the formation of metamorphic garnet minerals. The grantee, Trustees of Boston College, will conduct fieldwork, laboratory analysis, geochronology dating, high-temperature and pressure experiments, and thermodynamic modeling. This multidisciplinary work aims to test the hypothesis that metamorphism and associated fluid release can occur rapidly rather than gradually over...
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 (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...
