- The University of Wyoming was awarded a $310,285 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences to conduct research determining the depth of fluid infiltration in slow and ultra-slow spreading oceanic crust. The two-year grant runs from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2023. The research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which supports basic research expanding understanding of the integrated Earth system through...
- 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 National Science Foundation project grant award of $249,068 provides funding from February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2025 to support collaborative research understanding the influence of tectonic setting on the depth of magmatic processes in the mid-ocean ridge system. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system, this award will...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $343,290 Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for a 2-year Postdoctoral Fellowship. The grant, funded under the NSF Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program, will support research to characterize the composition of the Pacific mantle using nitrogen and noble gas isotopes. Specifically, the project will analyze oceanic basalt samples from seamounts near the East Pacific Rise to identify recycled and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Brigham Young University (BYU) in the amount of $297,566 on May 1, 2024. The grant supports a 3-year project to study the generation of internal waves in the ocean caused by different types of submarine ridges using laboratory experiments and computer simulations. The project aims to fill gaps in the understanding of this phenomenon and provide improved parameterizations of internal...
- 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 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...
- 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 $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...
- 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...
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 volcanic activity, which will enhance the scientific community's understanding of the Earth's mantle and oceanic crust formation. In addition, the grant will support the development of a public exhibit at the University of Wyoming's Geological Museum titled "Earth's Oceans: Now and in the Past" to educate the general public, from preschoolers to senior citizens, on the importance of mid-ocean ridges.
