The National Science Foundation awarded a $129,057 three-year Project Grant to Haverford College under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support research into using measurements of the density of excited vibrational modes (DOM) to forecast geohazards such as landslides, submarine slides, ground fissures, and liquefaction. Specifically, the researchers will first develop the DOM technique on beach sands to determine if it provides insights into the evolving state of natural...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $174,000 to fund research examining the interplay between fault material strength, roughness and friction at various scales. The award will support work conducted between June 2021 through May 2023 in Santa Cruz, California. As part of its mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise's understanding of the integrated Earth system, the Geosciences program aims to expand...
This $238,111 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Harvard University from August 2022 through July 2025 to develop an understanding of the factors controlling ground surface deformation during thrust and reverse fault earthquakes. Through discrete element modeling, the researchers will generate over 6,000 two-dimensional models and additional three-dimensional models to statistically assess how fault and sediment parameters...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $674,291 supports research to understand the causality of landslides, a significant natural hazard exacerbated by climate change. The research project, led by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY), will pursue four key thrusts: (1) establishing landslide datasets and benchmarks, (2) developing AI-physics hybrid models to explore hydro-eco-geomorphic drivers, (3)...
This five-year, $475,451 National Science Foundation project grant in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research examining how topography preserves details of the seismic cycle. The principal investigator will develop computational landscape simulations under varying tectonic and climatic conditions to identify topographic signatures of the seismic cycle. They will then assess whether these signatures are recognizable in natural landscapes with independent constraints on seismic...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $174,000 Project Grant to researchers at Riverside, California under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support work using distributed acoustic sensing to detect tremors and characterize earthquake hazard sites in the Cascadia region. Through June 2022 to May 2024, the grantees will evaluate earthquake risks by deploying fiber optic cables to monitor seismic activity. Insights gained from this work will further the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $225,816 will support collaborative research to investigate the evolution of elastic wave properties during the seismic cycle. The primary objectives are to explore whether variations in seismic wave properties can be identified before and/or after earthquakes, determine the underlying physical mechanisms, and assess the potential for operational forecasting of ruptures on meter-scale...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) and Hebrew University to directly measure fault rupture dynamics and seismic wave propagation in a laboratory setting. The $399,601 award, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will leverage specialized laboratory equipment to conduct high-speed imaging and in-situ seismogram...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $497,132 to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation for the development of a Collaborative Center for Landslides and Ground Failure GeoHazards under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The Center will serve as a hub focused on researching the causes and triggers of landslides as well as developing forecasting tools. Specific products and services include developing cyberinfrastructure...
