- This two-year, $354,309 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to develop a new three-dimensional subsurface framework model of the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest. The awardee, the University of Texas at Austin, will analyze seismic data collected during the 2021 Cascadia Seismic Imaging Experiment to study the geometry of the plate interface along the margin, variations in plate interface properties, the...
- This Project Grant award for $398,707 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between the University of Oregon and other institutions to study the geologic history and tectonic evolution of the Pacific Northwest region. The project aims to test models for the surface response to the Eocene collision of the Siletz oceanic terrane with western North America, as well as the subsequent post-collision adjustments that shaped...
- This $465,916 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a study by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to investigate the petrological and geochemical record of fluid migration in subduction zones. The project aims to assess the sources, scale, and interactions of fluids released during the subduction of oceanic plates, and how these fluid-rock interactions relate to seismic and volcanic activity in subduction...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $297,681 to Purdue University to better understand the relationship between orogenesis and seismogenesis along the southern Cascadia forearc region in northern California. The research team will analyze a recently acquired dataset using seismic methodologies including receiver function imaging, ambient noise interferometry, and joint inversion of receiver...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $274,364 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The objective of this 3-year award, commencing on May 1, 2024, is to conduct a comprehensive study of the Cascadia subduction zone, focusing on seismic and tsunami activity around the year 1700 CE. UNCW will carry out high-resolution mapping of paleotsunami deposits at two key locations along the Cascadia subduction zone...
- This two-year Project Grant award of $401,300 from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences supports collaborative research on constraints of interseismic locking near the trench on the Oregon segment of the Cascadia Subduction Zone using seafloor geodesy. The research will be conducted through the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program supports basic research in the...
- This $248,297 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to improve understanding of how local geological structures affect earthquake ground motion amplification in the Pacific Northwest. The research team from Purdue University will develop new ways to constrain the subsurface structure of Cascadia forearc basins, which will provide better information to guide estimates of ground motions from seismic hazards...
- This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $100,459 to the University of Washington to support collaborative research building a new three-dimensional subsurface framework for the Cascadia Subduction Zone through integrated analysis of data from the 2021 Cascadia Seismic Imaging Experiment (CASIE21). Key products include a regional-scale structural interpretation of offshore Cascadia from...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $172,594 Project Grant to Oregon State University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a 3-year collaborative undergraduate research project. The grant will fund an investigation into the tectonic and landscape evolution of the Klamath Mountains region of the Pacific Northwest, which was shaped by the accretion of the Siletzia oceanic plateau onto the North American plate millions of years ago. The principal...
