- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $356,814 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to conduct collaborative research on the Mt. Edgecumbe volcanic field in Southeast Alaska. The project aims to investigate the transcrusta l magmatism and regional tectonics associated with this transform fault-related volcano, which poses a potential hazard to the nearby city of Sitka and surrounding region. Key products and services to...
- 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 $168,098 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) funds collaborative research to investigate the Mt. Edgecumbe volcanic field in Southeast Alaska. The research aims to better understand the processes of transcrustal magmatism and the regional tectonics that have led to the formation of this volcano, which poses ash fall and ash cloud hazards to the nearby city of Sitka. The work will involve analyzing rock samples to recreate the...
- 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 $433,517 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will investigate the disaggregation of volcanic ash within plume conditions. The research team at Washington State University will conduct experiments to quantify how electrical forces, moisture, and flow turbulence impact the formation and breakup of ash clusters, which can alter the fallout patterns of volcanic ash. The findings will be used to develop more accurate computational models...
- This $494,982 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a multidisciplinary research effort to reexamine the precursory activity leading up to the catastrophic Mount Mazama eruption in Oregon approximately 7,700 years ago. The research team, led by the University of Oregon, will track changes in the chemistry and physical properties of the magmatic system over time by analyzing ash, pumice, and lava samples from the precursor...
- This $237,804 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support the University of New Mexico's research to study the magmatic plumbing system beneath Mount Erebus, an active volcano in Antarctica. The project will apply deep learning algorithms to analyze decades of seismic data in order to detect, locate, and characterize the full range of seismic activity at Mount Erebus. This comprehensive analysis is intended to better reveal the dynamics of...
- This $157,232 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the development of a unified numerical model for bubble nucleation and growth in volcanic systems. Lafayette College will work with international collaborators to conduct targeted experiments and develop theoretically grounded formulations to capture homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation processes. Researchers will also create an ensemble bubble growth model to track evolving bubble...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) provides $387,558.00 to the University of Oregon from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2027 to develop methods for extracting statistically robust patterns from existing volcanic activity records. The project aims to improve how scientists interpret information about when and where volcanoes have erupted, which is often incomplete and inconsistent. The work involves analyzing volcanism as (1) a temporal...
- This $158,481 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research by Lehigh University to investigate the relationship between changes in glaciers, topography, and the behavior of active volcanoes in Chile over the past 50,000 years. The research aims to generate high-resolution records of volcanic activity, ice retreat, and landscape evolution, and use this data to explore how crustal loading changes driven...
