This Project Grant award of $150,405 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Undergraduate Education under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076). The award to Mississippi State University will support a collaborative research study on the effects of instructional analogies on students' metacomprehension and self-regulated learning behaviors in introductory geoscience courses. The research will involve analyzing how analogies...
This three-year, $489,305 National Science Foundation Project Grant will support the American Geosciences Institute in conducting research on how geoscience programs have adapted to natural disruptive events. Funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the project aims to examine how such programs have managed impacts, identify operational and pedagogical outcomes that evolved from impacted departments, and determine how the geoscience community has leveraged lessons beyond directly...
This $119,548 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development and delivery of introductory geoscience lessons at the University of South Carolina aimed at quantifying the relationship between instructional reform practices, student learning, and student attitudes. Specifically, the grantee will design lessons delivered at varying levels of reformed teaching methodology as measured by the Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol and Classroom Observation Protocol for...

This $103,921 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of quantitative models relating student learning outcomes and affect to varying degrees of instructional reform at Utah Valley University from June 2023 to May 2026. Through the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the awardee will design introductory geoscience lessons at different levels of reformed teaching practice based on established classroom observation protocols. Lessons will be administered across...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $185,478.00 in funding to Northern Illinois University (NIU) to evaluate tectonic models for the western United States Cordillera region through a detailed study of the Pelona-Orocopia-Rand schist. The researchers will use modern analytical techniques, including Raman spectroscopy, bulk chemical analysis, and pressure-temperature modeling, to determine the age, pressure, and temperature...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $206,119 to Iowa State University of Science and Technology to conduct collaborative research on characterizing borehole breakouts in anisotropic materials. The project uses two research methods - physical experiments and analysis of well log data - to study how rock layering and anisotropy impact the inference of stress directions from borehole breakouts. The research aims to improve the...
This $268,138 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of the first immersive, online virtual field trip (VFT) that capitalizes on paleontological fieldwork. The primary goals are to: 1) increase exposure to geosciences in high schools and early-college classrooms by incorporating geoscience lessons into existing courses; 2) enhance educational content for traditional courses like geography, math, physics,...
This $213,696 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award will support research to gain new insights into the subsurface magma reservoirs below Hawaii. The project will use seismic data and modern imaging techniques to determine the depth, dimensions, and melt fraction of magma storage zones, and explore the relationship between magma migration and seismic activity. The research will be conducted by the University of Illinois, with a PhD student...
