The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $444,296 project grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan (University of Michigan) to conduct collaborative research on improving the understanding of how two types of copper ore deposits form and developing methods to find undiscovered deposits. The grant, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a graduate student and several undergraduates in mapping, logging, sampling, and...
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 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...
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...
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...
This $350,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program will enable researchers at The Washington University to investigate the biogeochemical processes affecting critical mineral resources in mine tailings and weathered ore zones in the United States. The primary research focus is characterizing rare earth elements in iron oxide-apatite and carbonatite ore waste materials, as well as platinum group elements in weathered ore zones, using...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities, under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083), provides $124,203 to characterize iron ore deposits in Puerto Rico through collaborative research between the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez and Auburn University. The research will involve field mapping, microscopic analysis, and geochemistry testing of magnetite and garnet samples from three iron skarn deposits. Isotope ratios and...
This Project Grant award of $257,390 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research at the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the formation, transport, and deposition of economically important metals in the lower continental crust. The project will focus on studying variably metasomatized magmatic sulfide deposits in the Ivrea-Verbano Zone in Italy, which represent a well-preserved cross-section of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle...
This Project Grant award for $382,137 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Minnesota to investigate the composition and iron oxidation state of the minerals lawsonite and epidote in subducted oceanic crust. The research aims to understand the controls on the conditions and fluid sources that influence mineral composition and iron chemistry in these hydrous minerals as oceanic plates subduct and transform at depth. Two...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $178,353 awarded to Concordia College Corporation will support research investigating the magnetic properties of iron oxide minerals and their phase conversions through cation doping. The award falls under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Undergraduate students will engage in the research work during...
