This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $342,692 will support an academic-industry collaborative research project to develop new methods for exploring and discovering copper-nickel-sulfide mineral deposits in the United States. The project team from the University of Michigan and Juniata College, in partnership with mining industry professionals, will test the hypothesis that the ratio of copper isotopes in ground and...
This two-year, $715,206 National Science Foundation Project Grant will support research to better understand the geologic processes that form gold-rich porphyry copper deposits in Chile. Specifically, the awardee, Regents of the University of Michigan, will investigate the magmatic and hydrothermal evolution of the Dorado gold-rich, copper-poor porphyry deposit to clarify how it formed. Findings have the potential to significantly improve understanding of variability in copper-to-gold ratios...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) provides $114,133 to Juniata College to conduct collaborative research on the source of mineralizing fluids in iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) mineral deposits. The key objectives are to improve understanding of how different types of copper ore deposits form and develop methods to locate undiscovered deposits. The research will compare the multi-element isotopic signatures of...
This $427,699 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to improve the understanding of how copper accumulates in significant concentrations, particularly in porphyry copper deposits. The project will test models of porphyry copper deposit formation by studying deposits in Sonora, Mexico, and develop geochemical tools to aid in the discovery of new copper deposits. The research will also train a Latino early-career scientist, a...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $270,013 to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) to investigate the processes that concentrate critical metals in porphyry copper deposits. The principal objectives are to assess the spatial and temporal variation in ore-forming processes, with a focus on using pyrite as a recorder of changes in metal sources and fluid compositions. The research team, which includes graduate and...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $281,067 Project Grant to Chico State Enterprises for the project "RUI: Investigating the Relationship Between Magmatic Processes and Copper Mineralization at the Lights Creek Stock". The 3-year project, starting August 1, 2023, will investigate the temporal and geochemical relationship between magmatic processes and copper mineralization in the Lights Creek Stock pluton in northern California. The research...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $615,305 Project Grant entitled "GEO-CM: PROSPECTING FOR CRITICAL ELEMENT DEPOSITS: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH USING EXPERIMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY AND FIELD-INFORMED MODELING OF SEDIMENT TRANSPORT" to the University of Rochester. The grant aims to develop new tools and methods to help geoscientists locate undiscovered deposits of critical minerals, such as cobalt, niobium, and tin, that are essential for...
The Regents of the University of Michigan were awarded a $331,331 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant falls under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen the national scientific enterprise. Specifically, the grant will fund a research project at the University of Michigan from January 2022 through December 2024 to simulate partial oxidation and secondary...
The Michigan Technological University was awarded a $296,686 project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support research, learning, and inclusion efforts advancing interdisciplinary Earth science from November 1, 2021 to October 31, 2023. The grant funding will support the university's "EAGER: Geoheritage and Two-Eyed Seeing" initiative which aims to strengthen foundational knowledge...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to investigate the formation, transport, and deposition of economically important metals in the deep continental crust. Specifically, the research will focus on studying variably metasomatized magmatic sulfide deposits in the Ivrea-Verbano Zone in Italy, which represent deep crustal ore deposits that have been tectonically uplifted. The $257,390 project, to be conducted by...
