This $171,096 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research effort to develop plans for an integrated array of scientific instrumentation to observe subduction zone geohazards in Chile. The project involves teams of experts in computer modeling and technical planning who will design sub-arrays to monitor earthquakes, volcanic activity, and landslides in this tectonically active region. New data catalogs and...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $499,863 awarded on August 1, 2022 to Earthscope Consortium Inc. DBA Iris will fund the Subduction Zones for the Fourth Dimension (SZ4D) Catalyst effort through July 31, 2026. The award supports the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth systems through basic research. Specifically, the funding will establish a staffed center to organize collaborative research and build equity in geosciences following...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant, awarded to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC), aims to advance the understanding of subduction fault and earthquake mechanics. Through a combination of new experiments on subduction zone rocks and numerical modeling, the project will investigate how the rheology (deformation behavior) of the megathrust fault zone, and the heterogeneity within it, affect fault slip behavior. Additionally, the project will...
This $148,988 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will enable the University of California Santa Cruz to modify the existing STRABOSPOT digital data system to develop a collaborative environment for researchers to collect and analyze geological data more efficiently. The project will create "group-level workflows" to facilitate collaborative research on subduction zones, a key focus area for the SZ4D (Subduction Zones in Four...
This $850,370 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will enable the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. to develop collaborative digital workflows to integrate field and laboratory data for the Subduction Zones in Four Dimensions (SZ4D) research community. The project will enhance the existing Strabo Spot data system to facilitate collaborative data collection, analysis, and knowledge sharing among geoscientists studying...
This two-year Project Grant award of $401,300 from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences supports collaborative research on constraints of interseismic locking near the trench on the Oregon segment of the Cascadia Subduction Zone using seafloor geodesy. The research will be conducted through the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program supports basic research in the...
This $355,607 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate an ancient example of flat-slab subduction in southern California and western Arizona. The goal is to collect data from rocks that were once located above the descending oceanic plate in order to improve simulations and understanding of similar modern tectonic settings, many of which pose significant...
This $174,000 two-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences aims to advance understanding of episodic tremor and slip in subduction zones. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to strengthen knowledge of the integrated Earth system, this award will fund research into the role of metasomatic alteration in subduction zone seismic phenomena from September 2021 through August 2023. The grantee, located in Seattle,...
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...
The University of California, Berkeley will receive $282,820 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will support collaborative research to better understand the interplay between creep, locking, earthquakes and land subsidence along the Chaman Plate boundary through geodetic imaging. This work directly aligns with the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the...
