This Project Grant award of $320,192 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research at the University of Washington to investigate the relationship between metamorphic dehydration reactions in subducting oceanic crust and the occurrence of deep slow slip earthquakes in subduction zones. The research aims to provide geologic evidence for the hypothesized role of fluid production from these reactions in generating the high pore fluid...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $186,556 to the University of Washington for collaborative research probing feedbacks between thermal structure, petrologic transformation, and rheologic evolution within dynamically evolving subduction zones. The research products will advance understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research supported by the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program aims to...
This $174,000 two-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences aims to advance understanding of episodic tremor and slip in subduction zones. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to strengthen knowledge of the integrated Earth system, this award will fund research into the role of metasomatic alteration in subduction zone seismic phenomena from September 2021 through August 2023. The grantee, located in Seattle,...
This $355,607 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate an ancient example of flat-slab subduction in southern California and western Arizona. The goal is to collect data from rocks that were once located above the descending oceanic plate in order to improve simulations and understanding of similar modern tectonic settings, many of which pose significant...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $399,282 to the University of South Carolina to conduct collaborative research on the thermal structure of an ancient Alpine subduction zone. The research team will integrate petrochronology (pressure-temperature-time constraints) of exhumed rocks from the Western Alps with geodynamic subduction modeling to characterize the time-evolving thermal conditions along the paleo-subduction...
This $257,390 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Texas at Austin. The grant supports research to investigate the source, transport, and deposition of economically important metals in the lower continental crust. Specifically, the project will study variable degrees of metasomatism and sulfide mineralization in the Ivrea-Verbano Zone in Italy, a well-preserved cross-section of the subcontinental...
This $393,670 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of California, Davis from March 2022 through February 2025 to test the role of metastable olivine in subduction dynamics and deep earthquakes. The researchers will use state-of-the-art numerical simulations integrating experimental and observational parameters to model various subduction scenarios with and without the presence of metastable olivine. They will compare model...
This $518,605 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to quantify strain and fluid flow along subduction interfaces. Penn State University will lead efforts to characterize chemical and mechanical processes controlling the healing of subduction zones between large earthquakes. Researchers will study ancient subduction exposures in Japan and Alaska spanning depths of 8-20 km and temperatures of 150-350°C. Electron...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant awarded to the Planetary Science Institute will conduct collaborative research to study the deformation behavior and rheology of subduction zone rocks. The $169,023 award, made under NSF's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program, will address two key questions: 1) how the heterogeneous rheology along subduction megathrusts affects fault slip behavior, and 2) how inelastic deformation on- and off-fault impacts strain energy...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to investigate the mechanisms driving slow slip and tremor (SST) events in subduction zones. The $119,779 award to the University of Washington will fund research to: (1) analyze the mineral composition, ages, and deformation of rocks that potentially hosted SST events, and (2) model the geophysical signature of these rocks to correlate the rock record...
