This $490,303 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project aimed at improving the understanding of lava flow properties and their impact on volcanic eruption hazard assessment. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Developing and deploying two new field tools to directly measure the viscosity of natural lava flows, which contain critical elements like bubbles and crystals...
The National Science Foundation awarded North Carolina State University a $384,585 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to experimentally determine how the crystallization and rheology of basaltic lava evolve when subjected to realistic cooling curves. Through laboratory experiments, the university will reproduce realistic lava flow cooling paths and measure how lava's ability to deform and move changes throughout the process. The university will develop a...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $261,540 to the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027. The project aims to explore the capabilities of a new technique for measuring the rheology (flow properties) of three-phase basaltic lava, which contains liquid, crystals, and bubbles. The research team will collect lava samples from four eruptions of Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii and use them...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 Project Grant to study closing the gap between analogue studies and numerical lava flow models using insights from the 2018 Kilauea eruption. The award period is from June 2021 through May 2023. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), the grantee will strengthen fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grantee will enhance...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant award for $180,000 from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026 will support research to develop a new "Eruption Stability Diagram" classification system for volcanic eruptions. The objective is to better understand and predict the evolution of volcanic hazards, such as ash clouds and pyroclastic density currents, by accounting for the effects of varying eruption rates and micrometer-scale processes. The research...
The Research Foundation For The State University of New York was awarded a $314,560 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research linking pyroclastic surge dynamics and deposits through integrated field data collection, multiphase numerical modeling, and experiments. The three-year award beginning June 15, 2021 will support collaborative work between foundation researchers and the State University of New York at Buffalo to advance...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $484,930 Project Grant to Columbia University to develop a novel multi-camera system for continuous, real-time monitoring of active volcanoes. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this two-year project aims to create an integrated system that can autonomously observe volcanoes across visible, thermal, and ultraviolet wavelengths to extract critical monitoring data. The system will automatically analyze the video...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $169,783 Project Grant to the University of Wyoming to support collaborative research titled "Volatile Sources, Eruption Triggers, and Magma Ascent Rates for Mafic Alkaline Magmas at Nyamulagira and Nyirangongo Volcanoes, DR Congo, East African Rift." The period of performance for this award under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) federal grant program is May 1, 2021 through April 30, 2024. The grant will fund research at...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $296,096 to Brown University provides funding to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle beneath active volcanoes using new seismic analysis techniques. The 2-year project, starting on Sep 1, 2024, aims to advance understanding of how magma storage and migration affect the eruptibility of volcanoes in regions like Yellowstone, the Cascades Arc, and the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex. Key...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $578,106 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) will advance the understanding of super-eruptions and the deposits they leave behind, known as ignimbrites. The project, which runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will use the Peach Spring Tuff in Arizona as a case study to investigate how large-volume pyroclastic flows move and maintain high temperatures...
