This $221,255 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to better understand spatial variability in sea level change during the last interglacial period approximately 120,000 years ago. The grantee will develop high-resolution global models of mantle flow to predict dynamic topography change across the greater Caribbean region over this timeframe. They will also compile a comprehensive dataset of interglacial sea level indicators...
This $377,603 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will fund research by the University of Colorado to investigate the effects of transient and non-Newtonian mantle viscosity on glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) processes and their implications for GPS observations in Antarctica. The project aims to build an accurate and efficient computer model to study the displacement and deformation of the Antarctic crust and mantle in response to...
This $696,926 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds collaborative research between the University of New Mexico, University of South Florida, and Harvard University to advance understanding of global mean sea level variations and the relative contributions of polar ice sheets and glaciers. The researchers will use geological records preserved in coastal cave deposits to reconstruct global mean sea level history over the past 130,000 years...
This five-year, $252,329 National Science Foundation project grant funds research towards developing a new framework for interpreting mantle deformation. The grantee, the University of California Santa Barbara under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will integrate theory, experiments, and observations spanning seismic to convective timescales. Researchers will characterize frequency-dependent upper-mantle dissipation in three locations using seismic and geodetic observations....
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $290,439 supports research at Brown University from November 1, 2022 to August 31, 2027 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund collaborative research integrating observational, experimental, and modeling efforts to characterize the full-spectrum rheological response of Earth's mantle and illuminate underlying microphysical processes controlling viscoelasticity. Observational work will characterize frequency-dependent...
This five-year, $277,481 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research towards developing a new framework for interpreting mantle deformation. The grantee, Columbia University, will integrate theory, experiments, and observations spanning seismic to convective timescales. Researchers will characterize frequency-dependent upper-mantle dissipation in three locations using seismic and geodetic observations. Laboratory...
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...
This three-year, $361,678 National Science Foundation project grant supports research investigating the importance of sea-level feedbacks in stabilizing marine-based ice sheets during retreat. Funded under the Geosciences program, which supports basic research expanding understanding of the integrated Earth system, the University of California, Santa Barbara will combine new late Pleistocene/Holocene relative sea-level data from Scotland with ice sheet and glacial isostatic adjustment...
The Regents of the University of Colorado were awarded a $464,509 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The three-year award, made on August 1, 2023 and set to be completed by July 31, 2026, will support collaborative research into the roles of lithology and water on deep continental crustal rheology using natural field settings and laboratory experiments. The research aims to further fundamental...
