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 from the National Science Foundation provides $174,000 to study the role of deformation in triggering volcanic eruptions. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this award will support research from September 2021 through August 2023 to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences through basic research. This particular grant will further...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to compare the geochemical and temporal links between volcanism and plutonism at a single arc magmatic system in Washington State. The $182,791 award to The Leland Stanford Junior University will fund a 3-year project to reconstruct the record of volcanic eruptions and subvolcanic intrusive activity by analyzing the geochemistry, geochronology, and petrology of igneous rocks in the...
This $490,303 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project aimed at improving the understanding of lava flow properties and their impact on volcanic eruption hazard assessment. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Developing and deploying two new field tools to directly measure the viscosity of natural lava flows, which contain critical elements like bubbles and crystals...
The University of Colorado Denver received a $116,083 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences on May 15, 2021 to support work on the project "RAPID: MEASURING THE VARIABLE COMPOSITION AND CHEMISTRY OF A VOLCANIC PLUME USING A DISTRIBUTED SENSOR NETWORK." The project aims to measure the variable composition and chemistry of a volcanic plume using a distributed sensor network, advancing understanding of integrated Earth...
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) 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...
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 $191,857 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to determine the role of volcanic ash particles and hydrometeor concentrations in lightning generation. Over a three-year period, the University of Alabama will analyze earth observations, conduct laboratory measurements, and run model simulations to track the size and abundance of these particles following eruptions. The university will synthesize data from multiple...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $120,831 Project Grant to the University of Wyoming (UW) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study the interplay of surface evolution, shallow magmatism, and a large hydrothermal system at the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcanic complex in Chile. The goal of this 5-year project is to enhance understanding of the natural hazards associated with volcanic intrusions and transitions between explosive and effusive eruption behaviors. The...
