The National Science Foundation awarded a $6.5 million Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to design and construct a new generation of ocean-bottom seismographs for the U.S. academic community from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2024. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research support. Under this award, Woods Hole will deliver new ocean-bottom seismographs...
This $445,139 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration to improve imaging of Earth's interior, particularly the mantle beneath the South Pacific. The researchers will use data from a new type of free-floating ocean instrument called MERMAID to update and enhance models of mantle wavespeeds and discontinuities. This will provide new insights into mantle...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award provides $250,854 to Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration to conduct collaborative research on the seismological analysis of Earth's microseism record and ocean wave climate. The research objectives are to: 1) advance the understanding of the long-term observational record of Earth's ocean gravity wave and seismic microseism field, including forward modeling of wave...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $1,354,056 to the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography to jointly implement a new measurement technique called distributed acoustic sensing. This technique will generate high-resolution (10 m in space, minutes in time) images of ocean temperature and current velocity fields above a 34-km cable laid on the seafloor off the Azores islands. The goal is to...
This $249,414 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research effort to conduct a 3D multichannel seismic survey at the 9°50'N segment of the East Pacific Rise. The study aims to image the magmatic and hydrothermal systems beneath the spreading axis and investigate how they have changed over a decadal timescale, by repeating a previous survey conducted in 2008. The time-lapse seismic imagery will allow researchers to...
This $236,732 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to investigate the early stages of seafloor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean. The project seeks to understand how the central Atlantic Ocean formed during the rifting of the Pangaea supercontinent approximately 190 million years ago. The research team, led by Louisiana State University, will conduct a 2D/3D seismic survey and analysis to...
This two-year Project Grant award of $401,300 from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences supports collaborative research on constraints of interseismic locking near the trench on the Oregon segment of the Cascadia Subduction Zone using seafloor geodesy. The research will be conducted through the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program supports basic research in the...
This $1,114,746 National Science Foundation Project Grant from the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Montana to advance computational modeling of Earth's deformation under surface ocean tidal and continental water loading. Over five years, the grantee will analyze Global Navigation Satellite System data and develop three-dimensional models to better predict Earth's response to surface loading cycles. Products will include sensitivity and resolution...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $195,725 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to deploy and operate two current and pressure recording inverted echo sounders (CPIES) over the continental slope north of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. The goal is to study the multi-scale processes associated with the Gulf Stream's separation from the continental margin, complementing data from the adjacent Pioneer Array ocean...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences totals $137,255 to support the development of a plate-scale distributed strain sensing system as a candidate for earthquake early warning. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography will use the award period from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023 to establish the feasibility of measuring seafloor deformation along...
