- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $291,557 to Brown University to conduct collaborative research on the behavior of halogen elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine) in continental volcanic arc systems. The key objectives are to: Determine whether halogens are concentrated more in plutonic or volcanic rocks within the same ancient arc system exposed in the Sierra Nevada, California. Identify the primary mineral...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded Pomona College a $114,019 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on halogen behavior in the pluton-to-volcanic arc system from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The research will measure halogen concentrations in intrusive plutonic rocks and extrusive volcanic rocks from the same ancient arc system now exposed in the Sierra Nevada, California. This will help...
- This $330,935 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to quantify how halogens (F, Cl, Br, I) and chlorine isotopes behave during metamorphic dehydration of sedimentary rocks. The research team at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) will analyze halogen concentrations and chlorine isotopes in well-characterized metapelite rock suites from around the world...
- This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $358,891 will fund research and educational activities related to understanding the cycling of halogens like chlorine and fluorine in Earth's early magmas and fluids. Led by the University of Rochester under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the project aims to advance fundamental knowledge of integrated Earth system processes through targeted studies of ancient zircon minerals. Key deliverables include high-temperature and...
- The University of Tennessee received a three-year, $189,910 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research building and applying a universal plagioclase oxybarometer using x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The university will measure the oxidation state and oxygen content of plagioclase feldspar crystals from volcanic systems to gain insights into how magmas change as they ascend toward eruption. Researchers will develop...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $167,851 project grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research titled "Collaborative Research: The Role of Subducting Seamounts in Fault Stability and Slip Behavior Throughout the Seismic Cycle." The two-year award beginning September 1, 2021 will support basic research into understanding the integrated Earth system through studying the influence of underwater volcanoes on fault behavior and...
- This three-year, $337,782 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at California State University Fullerton and Princeton University to determine the time and length scales of magma bodies in magmatic arcs. The grant recipients will study potassium feldspar phenocrysts and megacrysts up to 12 cm long containing mineral inclusions from the Tuolumne Intrusive Complex in Yosemite National Park. Electron microprobe, laser...
- This $185,953 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to leverage isotopic compositions of igneous systems to resolve the geometry and distribution of subducted sediment in the southern U.S. Cordillera. The research, led by the University of Texas at El Paso, aims to determine the distribution and geometry of subducted sediment in the continental crust by using igneous rocks as "deep-crustal probes" to...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $465,972 to William Marsh Rice University to characterize timescales of magma compositional changes in continental volcanic arcs. The University will create a high-resolution record of volcanic ash deposited along the western US coast over 65 million years ago. Analyzing ash altered into bentonite deposited in Texas over 7 million years will enable reconstruction of arc composition history. The...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $192,083 project grant to the University of Texas at Austin for collaborative research titled "Behavior of Boron During Prograde Diagenesis and Metamorphism of Pelagic Sediments from the Nankai Trough." The two-year award runs from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research will strengthen fundamental knowledge of integrated Earth system processes by examining boron behavior during the alteration...
