This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant, awarded on September 1, 2024 for $468,255, supports high-resolution seismic imaging of the crust in the Malawi (Nyasa) Rift in Africa. The researchers at Northern Arizona University will analyze seismic data to create 3D models of crustal seismic wavespeeds, which will help quantify the depth-dependent stretching within and around the rift axis, locate transitions between ancient crustal terranes, and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $183,720 to the University of Missouri System's Missouri University of Science & Technology to establish a temporary seismic array and support planning activities for a proposed continental scientific drilling project in the Lake Izabal Basin in Guatemala. The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year award include: Deploying a temporary seismic array to study...
This $249,414 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to conduct a 3-D multichannel seismic survey at the 9°50'N segment of the East Pacific Rise. The project will repeat a similar survey conducted in 2008 to study how the magmatic and hydrothermal systems beneath the seafloor have evolved over the past decade. By processing and analyzing the seismic data using advanced techniques, the...
This Project Grant award of $655,938 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 9°50'N segment of the East Pacific Rise. The project aims to repeat a previous 2008 seismic experiment in order to obtain high-resolution imagery and investigate how the magmatic and hydrothermal systems beneath the seafloor have changed over the past decade. This time-lapse seismic data...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to advance the understanding of Earth's deep structure and tectonics beneath the African continent. The $224,360 award to the University of Rochester will develop high-resolution models of the African continental crust, lithosphere, and upper mantle using seismic and geodetic data. The goal is to investigate how the anomalously hot upper mantle beneath...
The University of Rochester received a $357,817 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The award will support the development of a seismic model for investigating layering in cratonic lithosphere beneath Africa from September 2021 through August 2024. The model will be developed under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $554,535 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the University of Oklahoma for the project "Constraining Exhumation and Erosion along Lake Tanganyika to Assess Landscape Evolution in Rifts". The project aims to: 1) Use low-temperature thermochronology to determine the timing, rate, and magnitude of tectonic exhumation along the Lake Tanganyika rift; 2) Utilize cosmogenic nuclide analysis to measure catchment-wide...
This is a $180,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to support a two-year research project led by Dr. Rasheed Ajala at Columbia University and Dr. Daniel Trugman at the University of Nevada Reno. The project aims to develop multiscale Earth models that integrate crustal and mantle-scale processes to enhance exploration, discovery, and application in the East African Rift System. Key products will include a web service for creating...
This $311,914 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to advance the understanding of the deep structure and tectonic dynamics beneath the African continent. The project, led by Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, will leverage seismic, geodetic, and geodynamic data to develop high-resolution models of the African crust, lithosphere, and upper mantle. The research aims to investigate the...
This $249,924 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of a long-lived, continuously operating seafloor geodesy reference station capable of operating in deep water. The grantee, Princeton University, will investigate using acoustic signals that only need to travel from the sea surface to the seafloor, removing the prior 3,000 meter depth limitation of existing seafloor geodesy techniques. This new approach involves...
