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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $270,911 Project Grant under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Colorado State University to design an algorithm for unsupervised deep clustering of seismic time series data at volcanoes. The project aims to develop a multimodal variational autoencoder approach to process continuous seismic data at Erebus Volcano in Antarctica, with the objective of blindly resolving different types of seismic events, including icequakes, lava lake eruptions, and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $296,096 to Brown University provides funding to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle beneath active volcanoes using new seismic analysis techniques. The 2-year project, starting on Sep 1, 2024, aims to advance understanding of how magma storage and migration affect the eruptibility of volcanoes in regions like Yellowstone, the Cascades Arc, and the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex. Key...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $507,530 to The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The project aims to develop an unsupervised deep learning algorithm to automatically identify and classify different types of seismic activity, such as icequakes, lava lake eruptions, and ash vent signals, at Erebus Volcano in Antarctica. Once validated at Erebus, the method will...
