Project Grant 2317687
- This $393,866 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research study on the deformation signals and volcano-tectonic earthquakes at Mauna Loa Volcano in Hawaii. The research aims to use satellite data (InSAR) and seismic analysis to better understand the causes of volcanic unrest and potential warning signs before major eruptions. Key objectives include developing advanced deep learning methods to analyze ground deformation data,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $280,726 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to measure seafloor deformation off the coast of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii over a 4-year period. The project will deploy a network of 4 seafloor geodesy sites to track horizontal displacement and vertical uplift along the Kilauea detachment fault, which has experienced seismic events, volcanic eruptions, and aseismic creep. The research aims...
- This Project Grant award of $536,993.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to measure the deformation of the seafloor off Kīlauea Volcano in Hawai'i over a 4-year period. The research will deploy a network of 4 seafloor geodesy sites to track horizontal displacement and reoccupy benchmarks to measure 20-year vertical deformation along a fault system underlying the volcano's submarine flank. The results will...
- This $161,641 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to apply active and passive seismic imaging techniques to provide a high-resolution three-dimensional image of the subsurface summit structure of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. Funded from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026, the award to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will integrate an active-passive seismic survey of the Kilauea summit with a temporary nodal...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to explore the capabilities of a new technique for measuring the rheology (flow properties) of three-phase basaltic lava. The $261,540 award to the University of Texas at San Antonio will fund experiments using lava collected from eruptions of Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii. The goal is to better understand how factors like temperature, crystallinity, and bubble content impact...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) awards $675,795 to the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa's School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) to support the "Earth Science on Volcanic Islands" (ESVI) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site. The program aims to provide 30 undergraduate students from across the nation with cutting-edge STEM research and professional development opportunities focused on...
- The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $296,022 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The grant funds research to constrain trans-crustal magmatic systems along the Aleutian Island Arc through the use of receiver functions. The Geosciences program supports basic research in the earth sciences to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system. The three-year award period will...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $386,037 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on the formation and eruption behavior of volcanoes in subduction zones. The project aims to investigate the origin of silicic, volatile-rich magmas in young Mexican volcanoes to determine whether they form deep within the Earth's mantle or develop in the crust above the mantle. Researchers will analyze the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $405,563 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) federal grant program to the University of Miami to conduct a three-year seismic investigation of Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii. The project aims to deploy 54 seismometers on and around the volcano to record local and distant earthquakes, analyze the data to map the subsurface structure and identify magma chambers and potential pathways for magma ascent. This research will help the University of Miami team, in collaboration with the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, better understand seismic and volcanic hazards associated with Mauna Loa. The project will also provide training opportunities for a postdoctoral scholar and two undergraduate students in volcano seismology.
