This $161,641 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to apply active and passive seismic imaging techniques to provide a high-resolution three-dimensional image of the subsurface summit structure of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. Funded from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026, the award to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will integrate an active-passive seismic survey of the Kilauea summit with a temporary nodal...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $405,563 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) federal grant program to the University of Miami to conduct a three-year seismic investigation of Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii. The project aims to deploy 54 seismometers on and around the volcano to record local and distant earthquakes, analyze the data to map the subsurface structure and identify magma chambers and potential pathways for magma ascent. This...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $133,966 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. This 5-year grant will fund the deployment of a seafloor geodetic network to measure horizontal and vertical deformation along the submarine south flank of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. The research aims to better understand the geometry and behavior of the offshore fault system, including how seismic, aseismic, and slow-slip events on the fault transfer...
This $213,696 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award will support research to gain new insights into the subsurface magma reservoirs below Hawaii. The project will use seismic data and modern imaging techniques to determine the depth, dimensions, and melt fraction of magma storage zones, and explore the relationship between magma migration and seismic activity. The research will be conducted by the University of Illinois, with a PhD student...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $175,879 provides funding for a collaborative research project to characterize the spatial and temporal variations of volcanic rift zones on basaltic shield volcanoes, with a focus on Kilauea and Mauna Loa in Hawaii. The project aims to obtain detailed subsurface imaging of the rift zones and their characteristics, which are essential for enhancing volcanic hazard mitigation capabilities. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $230,516 to the University of Utah to conduct collaborative research on characterizing the spatial and temporal variations of volcanic rift zones on basaltic shield volcanoes in Hawaii. The project aims to obtain detailed subsurface imaging of the rift zones at Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes, which is essential for enhancing volcanic hazard mitigation efforts. The research will involve...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to measure the deformation of the seafloor off Kīlauea Volcano in Hawaii over a 4-year period. The $335,327 award to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography will enable the deployment of a seafloor geodesy network to track horizontal displacement and vertical deformation along the Kīlauea décollement, a nearly...
This $249,414 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to image the magmatic system at the East Pacific Rise over decadal timescales. The primary awardee, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, will conduct a 3-D multichannel seismic survey to study how the magmatic and hydrothermal plumbing systems have changed since a previous survey in 2008. This time-lapse imagery will advance understanding of...
Rice University was awarded a $333,279 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on January 1, 2022 to support research titled "Opening and Reestablishment of Kilauea's Lower East Rift Zone Magma Plumbing System During the 2018 Eruption." The two-year project will investigate the magma plumbing system dynamics of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano during its 2018 eruption through the Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050). The Geosciences program seeks to expand...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,688 will fund research into the effects of recent seismic activity on hydrothermal vent circulation and iron export at the Kama'ehuakanaloa underwater volcano (formerly known as Lō'ihi) located approximately 30 miles south of Hawaii's Big Island. Awarded to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this project will use a deep-diving robot to investigate whether lava was erupted on the seafloor...
