This $439,120 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The project aims to gather paleomagnetic and mineral age data from rock samples in Idaho and Montana to test hypotheses about the timing and origin of mountain building events in the Northern Rocky Mountains and Pacific Northwest region. This includes investigating whether...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $264,044 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to Western Washington University (WWU) to study active deformation and exhumation at the transition from subduction to oblique collision in central New Zealand. The three-year project (9/1/2023 - 8/31/2026) aims to characterize the rate and kinematics of shallow faulting, measure differential uplift along major rivers, and quantify the onset, rate, and spatial pattern of bedrock...
This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
This Project Grant award for $398,707 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between the University of Oregon and other institutions to study the geologic history and tectonic evolution of the Pacific Northwest region. The project aims to test models for the surface response to the Eocene collision of the Siletz oceanic terrane with western North America, as well as the subsequent post-collision adjustments that shaped...
This $184,781 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program supports a collaborative research effort to study the Mesozoic development of the North American Cordillera mountain range. The research team, led by Montana State University, will conduct a continental-scale analysis of sedimentary basins and mélange belts across four transects in California, British Columbia, southeast Alaska, and central Alaska. Key objectives include determining the age,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $172,594 Project Grant to Oregon State University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a 3-year collaborative undergraduate research project. The grant will fund an investigation into the tectonic and landscape evolution of the Klamath Mountains region of the Pacific Northwest, which was shaped by the accretion of the Siletzia oceanic plateau onto the North American plate millions of years ago. The principal...
The National Science Foundation awarded Washington State University a $173,436 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research quantifying the role of simultaneous large low shear velocity provinces and continents on Earth's cooling history. Over a three-year period from July 2023 to June 2026, the university will use numerical simulations of mantle convection to study how Earth's thermal evolution and internal mantle dynamics are jointly altered by...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program supports research to understand how accretionary sutures in the western margin of North America evolved into the modern-day strike-slip faults. The $195,590 award to Western Washington University will fund a collaborative project to study the long-term evolution of the Denali Fault Zone in Alaska. The researchers will integrate structural and kinematic analysis with detailed petrographic and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded Washington State University a $273,481 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The research aims to inform river corridor transport modeling by harnessing community data and physics-aware machine learning. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated system through...
