This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences supports a collaborative research project led by Cal Poly Humboldt Sponsored Programs Foundation, a Hispanic Serving Institution. The $296,973 award, effective July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026, will fund an undergraduate cohort experience to investigate the tectonic and geologic history of the Klamath Mountains region of the Pacific Northwest. The research team will apply advanced thermochronology...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $415,880 in funding to Oregon State University to test models for the fluvial response to Eocene terrane collision in western Oregon. The research aims to understand the interactions between tectonic and surface processes that controlled topographic evolution in the region during active mountain building and post-collision adjustments between approximately 55 and 40 million years ago. The...
This Project Grant award, valued at $398,707.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Oregon. The award will fund collaborative research to test models for fluvial response to Eocene terrane collision in western Oregon. The research aims to understand the interactions between tectonic and surface processes that controlled topographic evolution during the collision of the oceanic Siletz terrane with western North America...
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,...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $368,003 Project Grant to Texas Tech University under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research testing models for the Late Jurassic Nevadan orogeny. The research aims to determine the age, provenance, and structural evolution of the Galice and Mariposa basins in Oregon and California through analysis of basin sediments and tectonic structures. The grant will fund research...
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 $1.6 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology was awarded on September 1, 2021 to Oregon State University with a completion date of August 31, 2025. The grant supports modeling of interactions between community forest dynamics, local livelihoods, and institutional changes under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental earth science knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system...
Oregon State University was awarded a three-year, $452,842 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund collaborative research examining tradeoffs between phenology and geography constraints in species' responses to climate change across life cycles. As part of its mission to strengthen the national science enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system, the NSF...
The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College a three-year, $288,924 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research resolving conflicting tectonic models for the Laramide orogeny and flat-slab subduction in southern California. The University will perform three field seasons of data collection in the San Gabriel Mountains, along with geochronology, geochemistry, and microstructural laboratory...
This $228,331 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research to understand the evolution of continental lithosphere beneath New England through geologic time. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research team will employ seismic imaging techniques and analyze geologic structures exposed at the surface to illuminate plate tectonic processes that have shaped the region. Specifically, the investigators from the University of Vermont and partner...
