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...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project on glacier resilience and climate change in the Trinity Alps region of northern California. The $409,202 award to the Humboldt State University Sponsored Programs Foundation, a minority-serving and Hispanic-serving institution, runs from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The key products and services to be delivered through this grant...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $470,318 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from October 2021 through December 2022. The award will support collaborative research to better understand the contribution of crustal deformation to present-day tectonics at convergent margins like the southern Cascadia forearc. Researchers will utilize multiple geochronologic techniques to develop a record of exhumation and erosion in...
This $184,781 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program supports a collaborative research effort to study the Mesozoic development of the North American Cordillera mountain range. The research team, led by Montana State University, will conduct a continental-scale analysis of sedimentary basins and mélange belts across four transects in California, British Columbia, southeast Alaska, and central Alaska. Key objectives include determining the age,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to study the tectonic uplift history of the northern Sierra Nevada mountain range in California. The $304,910 award, effective August 15, 2024, will fund the use of low-temperature thermochronology and analysis of ancient river deposits to reconcile conflicting models of the Sierra Nevada's geological development. The research involves researchers from...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $187,835 to The University Corporation, a non-profit organization in Northridge, California, for a collaborative research project titled "Glacier Resilience During the Holocene and Late Pleistocene in Northern California". The project aims to reconstruct past glacier changes in the Trinity Alps region of the Klamath Mountains over the past 20,000 years using methods such as...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to investigate the timing and origins of mountain building events in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Specifically, the work will gather and analyze data from rock samples in Idaho and Montana to test hypotheses about the potential clockwise rotation of large crustal blocks in this region and the associated...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $397,841 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The University Corporation at California State University, Northridge. The grant will fund a 2-year project to study the process of subduction termination along the central California continental margin. The project will use new offshore and onshore seismic data, along with geochemical analysis of surface volcanic rocks, to investigate the controversial "Isabella...
This $190,957 collaborative research project awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate the tectonic uplift history of the northern Sierra Nevada mountain range in Eastern California. The project will use low-temperature thermochronology and analysis of ancient river sediments to reconcile conflicting models about the timing and causes of the Sierra Nevada's topographic development. Researchers from three universities will mentor...
