This $355,607 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate an ancient example of flat-slab subduction in southern California and western Arizona. The goal is to collect data from rocks that were once located above the descending oceanic plate in order to improve simulations and understanding of similar modern tectonic settings, many of which pose significant...
This three-year, $432,521 National Science Foundation project grant supports research investigating the formation of stagnant slabs and implications for subduction dynamics. Funded under the Geosciences program, which supports basic research expanding understanding of the integrated Earth system, the award supports collaborative modeling and seismic tomography work by researchers at Princeton University. Specifically, the researchers will explore how subducted tectonic plates become trapped in...
This $393,670 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of California, Davis from March 2022 through February 2025 to test the role of metastable olivine in subduction dynamics and deep earthquakes. The researchers will use state-of-the-art numerical simulations integrating experimental and observational parameters to model various subduction scenarios with and without the presence of metastable olivine. They will compare model...
