This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $253,617 will fund research from August 2022 to July 2025 to resolve conflicting evidence regarding metamorphic pressures and stratigraphy in the Tethyan Himalaya. The research team from the University of Nevada, Reno will conduct integrated field and laboratory studies to determine the geometric, temperature, and pressure relationships in basal strata of the Tethyan section. They will test the controversial concept of non-lithostatic pressure...
The University of Arizona was awarded a $443,185 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to conduct research titled "Lithospheric Dripping in Central Tibet: Underappreciated Factor in Orogenic Plateau Development?". The grant was awarded on June 15, 2021 with a completion date of May 31, 2024. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University will investigate the role of lithospheric dripping in the development of the Tibetan Plateau...
This $228,331 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research to understand the evolution of continental lithosphere beneath New England through geologic time. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research team will employ seismic imaging techniques and analyze geologic structures exposed at the surface to illuminate plate tectonic processes that have shaped the region. Specifically, the investigators from the University of Vermont and partner...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $385,643 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College to investigate magma diversification and mobilization processes in the lower continental crust. The 3-year research project will link field mapping, microstructural analysis, geochemistry, and geochronology to test competing models for how magmas form and are extracted from the deep roots of continental arcs. The...
This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
This $229,971 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) will support a collaborative research project to evaluate the role of terrane accretion on the evolution of indenter corner fault systems in the Eastern Himalayan region. The key objectives of the 3-year project are to reconstruct the kinematic history of a triple junction in the Eastern Himalayan indenter corner, focusing on the Noa Dihing Fault, in order to test the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 two-year Project Grant to researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund a research project to Quantify Scale of Lower Crust and Mantle Heterogeneities Beneath the Continental United States through Bridging Seismology, Mineral Physics, Petrology, and Magnetotellurics. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated system. This...
This three-year, $108,172 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to resolve conflicting evidence regarding metamorphic pressures and stratigraphy in the Tethyan Himalaya. The grantee, Amherst College, will lead an integrated field and laboratory study examining the geometric, temperature, and pressure relationships in metamorphic rocks. The research aims to test the controversial concept of non-lithostatic pressure preservation...
This three-year, $212,432 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to resolve conflicting evidence regarding metamorphic pressures and stratigraphy in the Tethyan Himalaya. The grantee, University of North Carolina at Wilmington, will lead an integrated field and laboratory study to determine the geometric, temperature, and pressure relationships in this region and assess the viability of non-lithostatic pressure conditions...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,141 supports research by Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The research aims to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using low-temperature thermochronology. Researchers will study the thermal imprint of sedimentary cover on basement rocks beneath major unconformities to fill a one-billion-year gap in the...
