- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant award for $180,000 from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026 will support research to develop a new "Eruption Stability Diagram" classification system for volcanic eruptions. The objective is to better understand and predict the evolution of volcanic hazards, such as ash clouds and pyroclastic density currents, by accounting for the effects of varying eruption rates and micrometer-scale processes. The research...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $312,929 to Washington State University to conduct collaborative research on the aggregation and electrification of volcanic ash particles. The research aims to enhance understanding of turbulence, ash particle dynamics, and electrification within volcanic plumes, which is critical for improving real-time monitoring and modeling of hazardous volcanic eruptions. The project will involve...
- This $374,308 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research at Montana State University focused on understanding the pre-eruptive processes and timescales that trigger volcanic eruptions, particularly at Alaska's Okmok volcano. The research team will integrate geochemical analysis of erupted products with geophysical monitoring data to elucidate the deep magmatic processes that lead to different eruption styles, volumes, and...
- This $226,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the "THERMOSPHERIC ESTIMATION AND CHARACTERIZATION WITH NITRIC OXIDE (TECHNO)" project at Michigan Technological University. The research aims to improve modeling of auroras and understand how the upper atmosphere's circulation changes during magnetic storms by studying the seasonal variability of nitric oxide (NO). Key objectives include investigating links between...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $523,833 will fund research into impacts of atmospheric waves and geomagnetic disturbances on space weather through April 2025. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to increase understanding of the integrated Earth system, the awardee Clemson University will collaborate with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Virginia...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $484,930 Project Grant to Columbia University to develop a novel multi-camera system for continuous, real-time monitoring of active volcanoes. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this two-year project aims to create an integrated system that can autonomously observe volcanoes across visible, thermal, and ultraviolet wavelengths to extract critical monitoring data. The system will automatically analyze the video...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $518,808 to the University of Michigan to assess atmospheric impacts of the 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption. The University will use observations and modeling to evaluate how the eruption affected Earth's energy budget, stratospheric temperatures and circulation patterns, and Antarctic ozone hole formation. Researchers will also use the eruption as a natural experiment to evaluate an Earth system model's ability to capture observed atmospheric perturbations in subsequent years. Broader goals include improving understanding of volcanic impacts on climate and risks to society, conducting simulations of more powerful eruptions, and adapting models to better isolate volcanic influences. The award additionally supports training a Ph.D. student and expanding volcano-climate course content.
