This $158,481 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research by Lehigh University to investigate the relationship between changes in glaciers, topography, and the behavior of active volcanoes in Chile over the past 50,000 years. The research aims to generate high-resolution records of volcanic activity, ice retreat, and landscape evolution, and use this data to explore how crustal loading changes driven...
The National Science Foundation awarded a 5-year, $107,566 Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant to the University of Oregon for a collaborative research study on the natural hazards associated with volcanic intrusions. The project aims to advance the understanding of how volcanic eruptions transition from explosive to effusive behavior, and how the interactions between surface processes, hydrothermal, and magmatic processes can lead to the formation of shallow intrusions. The research...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort to design an integrated array of instruments to observe subduction zone geohazards in Chile. The $171,096 award will fund modeling studies and technical planning to develop three overlapping instrument arrays to monitor earthquake, volcanic, and landslide processes in this active subduction zone region. The research teams will compile new catalogs of...
This $118,260 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to investigate the effects of lithospheric foundering on mountain building processes in the Southern Puna Plateau of Argentina. The key products and services to be delivered include: Generating new geological datasets and numerical modeling results to test hypotheses about modes of lithosphere removal and their impact on the geologic record in the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $274,166 Project Grant to Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the linkages between glacio-climatic, hydrothermal, and volcanic processes in the central Andes from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2025.
