Cornell University received a $348,300 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to investigate volatile evolution and decompression rates of high-intensity basaltic eruptions. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in integrated Earth system sciences, Cornell will conduct field and laboratory research over three years from July 2023 to June 2026. The university will analyze melt inclusions and reconstruct chemical...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $293,231 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, to conduct collaborative research on magma storage depths and chemical variability in volcanic systems in the Cascade Arc. The research aims to better constrain the depths at which mafic magmas erupting in the Cascades were stored prior to eruption by directly measuring the CO2...
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 Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) project grant award of $292,742 to the University of Houston System will fund collaborative research to re-evaluate magma storage depths and the origin of chemical variability in volcanic systems in the Cascade region. The key products of this 3-year project include: Measuring the volatile contents, including CO2, in olivine-hosted melt inclusions to better constrain magma storage depths in the Cascade region and gain insights into...
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 $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 National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences project grant of $209,641 will fund research from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025 to reconstruct magmatic plumbing systems using fluid inclusions. Led by Cornell University, this award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support three principal investigators to precisely measure densities of carbon dioxide-rich fluids trapped in crystals from volcanic eruptions on Hawaii and the Canary Islands. By determining fluid...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award provides $276,237 to Oregon State University (OSU) to conduct a multidisciplinary re-examination of the precursory activity leading up to an archetype M7 eruption at Mount Mazama in Oregon. The research aims to identify changes within the magma storage region that led to the catastrophic eruption and Crater Lake formation approximately 7,700 years ago. The project will track the products of explosive and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $385,643 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College to investigate magma diversification and mobilization processes in the lower continental crust. The 3-year research project will link field mapping, microstructural analysis, geochemistry, and geochronology to test competing models for how magmas form and are extracted from the deep roots of continental arcs. The...
