The National Science Foundation awarded Washington State University a $173,436 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research quantifying the role of simultaneous large low shear velocity provinces and continents on Earth's cooling history. Over a three-year period from July 2023 to June 2026, the university will use numerical simulations of mantle convection to study how Earth's thermal evolution and internal mantle dynamics are jointly altered by the presence of insulating continental and basal materials. Washington State University will run approximately 200 planned simulations using highly parallel finite-element modeling codes on high-performance computing clusters. This research aims to provide new insights into Earth's thermal history and the implications for plate tectonics and the planet's magnetic field. The project also supports two graduate students and a postdoctoral scholar.
