This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $240,688 will fund research into the effects of recent seismic activity on hydrothermal vent circulation and iron export at the Kama'ehuakanaloa underwater volcano (formerly known as Lō'ihi) located approximately 30 miles south of Hawaii's Big Island. Awarded to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this project will use a deep-diving robot to investigate whether lava was erupted on the seafloor...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $145,872 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of South Florida (USF) to investigate volcanism and tectonics in the Bight Transform region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The project will utilize deep-sea robotic vehicles to map and sample submarine volcanoes near the Bight Transform Fault, with the goal of understanding the formation of oceanic crust and seafloor volcanoes. The research will analyze the collected...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $518,808 to the University of Michigan to assess atmospheric impacts of the 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption. The University will use observations and modeling to evaluate how the eruption affected Earth's energy budget, stratospheric temperatures and circulation patterns, and Antarctic ozone hole formation. Researchers...
This $655,938 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to conduct a 3-D multichannel seismic survey at the East Pacific Rise to image the magmatic and hydrothermal systems and investigate volcanic cycles over decadal timescales. The project, led by the University of California, San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography, will repeat a previous survey from 2008 to obtain...
This $699,699 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to apply active and passive seismic imaging techniques to provide a high-resolution three-dimensional image of the subsurface summit structure of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii after its 2018 collapse. The University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science will partner with the U.S. Geological Survey to deploy a temporary seismic array and conduct...
This $249,414 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to conduct a 3D multichannel seismic survey at the 9°50'N segment of the East Pacific Rise. The goal is to image the magmatic system and investigate how it has changed over the past decade, compared to a previous survey conducted in 2008. The research team, led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, will use the latest elastic full...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $133,966 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. This 5-year grant will fund the deployment of a seafloor geodetic network to measure horizontal and vertical deformation along the submarine south flank of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. The research aims to better understand the geometry and behavior of the offshore fault system, including how seismic, aseismic, and slow-slip events on the fault transfer...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to measure the deformation of the seafloor off Kīlauea Volcano in Hawaii over a 4-year period. The $335,327 award to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography will enable the deployment of a seafloor geodesy network to track horizontal displacement and vertical deformation along the Kīlauea décollement, a nearly...
This $161,641 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to apply active and passive seismic imaging techniques to provide a high-resolution three-dimensional image of the subsurface summit structure of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. Funded from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026, the award to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will integrate an active-passive seismic survey of the Kilauea summit with a temporary nodal...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to explore the capabilities of a new technique for measuring the rheology (flow properties) of three-phase basaltic lava containing crystals and bubbles. The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) will collect lava samples from eruptions of Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii and conduct experiments using a high-temperature rotational rheometer to characterize the viscosity of the lava...
