As described under the Geosciences program, the funding will strengthen...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050) provides $294,716 to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey and its division in Newark for their "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GP-UP: A NEAR SURFACE GEOPHYSICS FIELD EXPERIENCE TO IMPROVE THE RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF UNDER-REPRESENTED MINORITY STUDENTS IN THE GEOSCIENCES" project. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system...
Yale University was awarded a three-year, $339,068 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences' Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund the CSEDI COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: UNDERSTANDING OF THE EFFECTS OF LARGE PLANETESIMAL COLLISIONS ON HADEAN EARTH MANTLE DYNAMICS project taking place in New Haven, CT from July 2021 through June 2024. As part of its mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanding fundamental knowledge...
The Southwest Research Institute was awarded a $122,856 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will fund research under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to understand the effects of large planetesimal collisions on early Earth mantle dynamics from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. As part of the NSF's mission to expand fundamental Earth systems knowledge, this research aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $191,614 to the University of South Florida to conduct collaborative research on the dynamic compression of iron-sulfur alloys at conditions relevant to the Earth's core. Over the two-year project period starting September 1, 2024, the research team will perform dynamic compression experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to study the crystal structure, melting, and...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota, through its Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, received a $286,561 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award, entitled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GLOW: IRON REDOX REACTIONS IN MAGMA OCEANS AND DIFFERENTIATION OF ROCKY PLANETS," will support experiments to study how planets become habitable through mantle oxidation during the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 Project Grant to researchers at the California Institute of Technology to develop a high-resolution record of mantle-derived rocks. The two-year award, made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support efforts to constrain mantle stirring rates and tectonic regimes through analysis of neodymium and samarium isotope ratios in rocks. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental earth science knowledge and understanding of the...
