This $303,170 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research investigating magma diversification and mobilization processes in the lower continental crust. The project, led by researchers at The University Corporation, a non-profit organization affiliated with California State University, Northridge, aims to determine the key mechanisms controlling how magmas are generated and extracted from the deep roots of a...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to compare the geochemical and temporal links between volcanism and plutonism at a single arc magmatic system in Washington State. The $182,791 award to The Leland Stanford Junior University will fund a 3-year project to reconstruct the record of volcanic eruptions and subvolcanic intrusive activity by analyzing the geochemistry, geochronology, and petrology of igneous rocks in the...
This two-year, $274,138 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into crustal evolution and recycling processes in a long-lived magmatic system exposed in the Transverse Ranges of California. Funded under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the project aims to advance understanding of continental arc growth through quantitative analysis of field and laboratory data from diverse rock samples representing different depths and time periods within the magmatic system....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $385,643 provides funding for a collaborative research project led by the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College (UVM) to study the processes that drive the diversification and mobilization of magma in the lower continental crust. The project, titled "Collaborative Research: Is it Mash or Mush? Testing Conflicting Models for Magma Diversification and Mobilization in Lower-Arc...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $293,231 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, to conduct collaborative research on magma storage depths and chemical variability in volcanic systems in the Cascade Arc. The research aims to better constrain the depths at which mafic magmas erupting in the Cascades were stored prior to eruption by directly measuring the CO2...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $174,786 to the Cal Poly Corporation in San Luis Obispo, CA will support research to test models for the emplacement of the Tuolumne Intrusive Suite (TIS) granitic rocks in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. The project aims to address three key questions: 1) the volume of inherited zircon in younger TIS units, 2) the volume of inherited material in layered granitic rocks, and 3) how zircon...
This $169,286 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) to fund a collaborative research project titled "A New Sanidine-Liquid Hygrometer: Experiments, Calibration and Applications." The project aims to calibrate a water-dependent geothermometer based on sanidine compositions, which can be used to determine the conditions of crystallization for important igneous...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $220,434 Project Grant through its Geosciences program to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation. The grant will support research to investigate volcanic and tectonic processes in the California Borderlands region, an area off the coast of Southern California that has experienced significant faulting, rotation, volcanism, and a transition from subduction to strike-slip tectonics over the past 30 million years. The...
This $247,680 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds upgrades and acquisitions for collaborative paleoclimate, coastal processes, and archaeology lithics laboratories at California State University, Fullerton. The funding will provide new and continuing technological opportunities for students through the acquisition of a Malvern Mastersizer 3000 laser diffraction particle size analyzer, a Mirion Small Anode Germanium well gamma detector, and...
This $355,607 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate an ancient example of flat-slab subduction in southern California and western Arizona. The goal is to collect data from rocks that were once located above the descending oceanic plate in order to improve simulations and understanding of similar modern tectonic settings, many of which pose significant...
