Project Grant 2240650
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $302,617 project grant to Stanford University from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant supports research towards developing a process-based understanding of different eruptive regimes at persistently degassing volcanoes. This work will advance the goals of the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant award for $180,000 from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026 will support research to develop a new "Eruption Stability Diagram" classification system for volcanic eruptions. The objective is to better understand and predict the evolution of volcanic hazards, such as ash clouds and pyroclastic density currents, by accounting for the effects of varying eruption rates and micrometer-scale processes. The research...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation provides $174,000 to study the role of deformation in triggering volcanic eruptions. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this award will support research from September 2021 through August 2023 to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences through basic research. This particular grant will further...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $296,096 to Brown University provides funding to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle beneath active volcanoes using new seismic analysis techniques. The 2-year project, starting on Sep 1, 2024, aims to advance understanding of how magma storage and migration affect the eruptibility of volcanoes in regions like Yellowstone, the Cascades Arc, and the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex. Key...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant, funded under CFDA 47.050 Geosciences, provides $180,000 over 2 years starting August 1, 2023 to explore the significance of spatial field data from integrated satellite remote sensing and GPS time series for machine learning and volcanic early warning applications. The project aims to integrate data from satellite radar, GPS, and high-resolution digital elevation models to generate 3D time series of surface...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) provides $387,558.00 to the University of Oregon from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2027 to develop methods for extracting statistically robust patterns from existing volcanic activity records. The project aims to improve how scientists interpret information about when and where volcanoes have erupted, which is often incomplete and inconsistent. The work involves analyzing volcanism as (1) a temporal...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $680,331.00 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The award, effective March 1, 2026, supports the deployment of three new, high-resolution seafloor compliance instruments at Axial Volcano off the coast of Cascadia for two years. The instruments will monitor the evolving magma chamber at Axial Volcano before, during, and after an expected eruption in the next few...
- This Project Grant award of $655,938 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to conduct 3D multichannel seismic surveys at the East Pacific Rise volcanic system. The goal is to create high-resolution imagery that can be used to investigate how the magmatic and hydrothermal systems have changed over the past decade, providing insights into volcanic cycles on decadal timescales. The project will partner with industry...
- The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) received a $328,117 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities on September 1, 2021 to support the Volcanology Hub for Interdisciplinary Collaboration, Tools and Resources (VICTOR) project. The project aims to deliver data capabilities, tools and resources to strengthen collaboration and understanding of integrated Earth system processes through volcanology...
- This $490,303 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project aimed at improving the understanding of lava flow properties and their impact on volcanic eruption hazard assessment. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Developing and deploying two new field tools to directly measure the viscosity of natural lava flows, which contain critical elements like bubbles and crystals...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $484,930 Project Grant to Columbia University to develop a novel multi-camera system for continuous, real-time monitoring of active volcanoes. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this two-year project aims to create an integrated system that can autonomously observe volcanoes across visible, thermal, and ultraviolet wavelengths to extract critical monitoring data. The system will automatically analyze the video feeds to determine parameters like gas and ash emissions, as well as the frequency and intensity of explosive events. This advanced volcano monitoring capability is expected to enhance forecasting efforts and improve the understanding of eruption mechanisms. No sub-awards are planned for this grant.
