- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program grant (CFDA 47.050) awarded $173,646 to Utah State University (USU) on July 15, 2023 to conduct collaborative research on the evolution of the Tristan-Gough-Walvis Ridge hotspot system in the South Atlantic Ocean. The research team will investigate the contributions of the upper mantle to Walvis Ridge volcanism, the factors determining the proportions of upper mantle versus hotspot contributions, and how the upper mantle changes as...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences Project Grant award of $202,781 to Towson University is focused on understanding the evolution of the Tristan-Gough-Walvis Ridge hotspot system. Through collaborative research with national and international scientists, the project will investigate the contributions of the upper mantle versus the hotspot to the Walvis Ridge volcanism, and how the upper mantle changes as continental rifting and ocean basin formation progressed in...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $195,944 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Tennessee (UT) to conduct collaborative research on the evolution of the Tristan-Gough-Walvis Ridge hotspot system in the South Atlantic Ocean. The project will investigate the changing magmatic processes and interactions between the hotspot and overlying lithosphere during continental rifting and seafloor spreading through geochemical and geochronological...
- This two-year, $388,669 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research analyzing sediment and basalt core samples from the International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 391. The University of Houston will collaborate to study the paleolatitude record of Walvis Ridge hotspot volcanoes in the late Cretaceous and early Cenozoic eras. Researchers will produce a paleolatitude timeline for comparison...
- This $195,036 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research analyzing paleomagnetic data from sediment and basalt core samples extracted during the International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 391. A team of researchers led by The Leland Stanford Junior University will study samples cored from the Walvis Ridge in the South Atlantic Ocean to develop a paleolatitude record for Late Cretaceous and early Cenozoic volcanoes...
- This $123,726 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research initiative to investigate mantle source reservoirs and Cretaceous plate motions in the Pacific Ocean. The project aims to better understand the timing and drivers of global plate reorganization events during the mid-Cretaceous period. Led by Oregon State University, the work involves a 31-day seagoing expedition to dredge seamounts, ridges, and rises in the...
- This $129,722 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to investigate volcanism and tectonics in the Bight Transform region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The award, made to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, will utilize deep-sea robotic vehicles to map and sample submarine volcanoes near the Bight Transform Fault. The research team will analyze the collected rock samples to enhance understanding...

- This Project Grant award of $646,207, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project to investigate mantle dynamics during the early stages of seafloor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean. The project aims to characterize the evolution of oceanic crust and mantle as the Atlantic Ocean initially formed, using a novel 2D/3D seismic experiment adjacent to the eastern North American margin. The seismic survey will collect data...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $173,129 to Oregon State University to conduct collaborative research investigating mantle source reservoirs and Cretaceous plate motions recorded by ancient mid-Pacific oceanic rises and seamount tracks. The project aims to better understand the timing and drivers of global-scale plate reorganization events that occurred during the mid-Cretaceous period (120-80 million years ago). The...
