- This $109,216 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) supports a collaborative research effort to investigate the evolution of the Tristan-Gough-Walvis Ridge hotspot system in the South Atlantic. The project aims to better understand the role of hotspots in continental rifting and ocean basin formation by analyzing geochemical and geochronological data from basaltic core samples collected during IODP Expeditions 391 and...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a 3-year, $325,841 Project Grant to the University of Wyoming under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on understanding the processes and timescales of basalt petrogenesis and oceanic crustal construction at slow-spreading mid-ocean ridges. The research will measure the chemical characteristics of volcanic rock produced along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge to understand mantle melting and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $405,037 Project Grant to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2025. The award will support collaborative research to better understand how the depth of magmatic processes in the mid-ocean ridge system varies based on tectonic setting. Researchers will analyze melt inclusions and crystals in ocean floor basalts from a...
- 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 is a Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) and the United Kingdom's National Environment Research Council (NERC) under the NSF/GEO-NERC Lead Agency Agreement (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences). The $364,996 award, effective April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2028, will support research by the University of California, Santa Barbara to map and sample the interior of a volcano on Maio Island in the Cape Verde Archipelago. The goal is to study...
- 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...
