- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $387,136 Project Grant to the University of Maryland, College Park under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. This grant will fund a research project titled "Water in Garnet as a Record of Fluid Flow During Metamorphism" from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The objective of this project is to use in-situ measurements of water content in garnets to investigate the processes of fluid release and fluid flow events during the growth of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $468,724 project grant under its Geosciences program to Washington State University (WSU). The grant supports research to investigate how deformation of granitic rocks may alter their geochemical and isotopic signatures, which are commonly used to reconstruct the formation and evolution of the Earth's crust. The study aims to evaluate whether variably deformed granitic rocks faithfully retain the original geochemical fingerprints of their...
- This $378,188 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Washington University in St. Louis. The award will fund collaborative research to investigate the role of mantle rock composition in the development of plate tectonics on Earth and other rocky planets. Key research activities include: Conducting rock deformation experiments to assess how the relative proportions and strength contrast between dominant mantle mineral phases...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $330,667.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) and is intended to support research aimed at deciphering the evolution of the early Earth's crust-mantle system. The award will fund a project led by researchers at the University of Maryland, College Park that will analyze well-preserved samples of early rock records to develop a comprehensive model for the timing of formation of the continental crust and the...
- This $350,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program will enable researchers at The Washington University to investigate the biogeochemical processes affecting critical mineral resources in mine tailings and weathered ore zones in the United States. The primary research focus is characterizing rare earth elements in iron oxide-apatite and carbonatite ore waste materials, as well as platinum group elements in weathered ore zones, using...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $345,005 project grant under its Geosciences program to Montana Technological University (Montana Tech) to study trace metals in sphalerite, a critical zinc-bearing mineral, from polymetallic mineral deposits in southwest Montana. The 2-year project aims to analyze the distribution of trace elements like gallium, indium, germanium, and tungsten in sphalerite from the Butte and Philipsburg mining districts, and create synthetic sphalerite samples to...
