- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to investigate the timing and origins of mountain building events in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Specifically, the work will gather and analyze data from rock samples in Idaho and Montana to test hypotheses about the potential clockwise rotation of large crustal blocks in this region and the associated...
- 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....
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $408,180 project grant to the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The grant will fund research to better understand intraplate orogenesis through studying metamorphosed Mesoproterozoic supracrustal rocks in the Picuris Mountains of New Mexico. The principal investigator and students will conduct field work, construct pressure-temperature-deformation-time paths,...
- The University of Wisconsin-Madison has been awarded a $430,043 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on eukaryotic life and its preservation within the Mesoproterozoic Lower Belt Supergroup. The research will involve comprehensive paleontological study of the 1.5-billion-year-old Appekunny and Greyson formations in Montana, combining lithostratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, and detrital geochronological analysis...
- This $289,011 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) to the University of Wisconsin - Madison supports research to reconstruct Holocene glacier lengths across North and South America. The research objectives are to: 1) constrain glacier length changes using radiocarbon and beryllium-10 dating, 2) determine glacier length histories through statistical and glaciological modeling, and 3) identify plausible climate scenarios...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $295,350 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Wisconsin-Madison for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant aims to advance earth science learning through cross-cultural knowledge exchange. Key activities include place-based experiential learning to recruit and retain geoscience students from diverse backgrounds and foster connection to Earth. The grant also evaluates impacts on teacher...
- 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,...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,141 supports research by Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The research aims to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using low-temperature thermochronology. Researchers will study the thermal imprint of sedimentary cover on basement rocks beneath major unconformities to fill a one-billion-year gap in the...
- This Project Grant award of $291,976 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a postdoctoral fellowship at Idaho State University (ISU) to investigate the geologic history of the Andes mountains in South America. The research aims to test competing tectonic models for the Mesozoic evolution of the South American continental margin, with a focus on evaluating whether an intra-oceanic island arc accreted to the continent around 100 million years ago....
- The University of Wisconsin-Madison received a $157,100 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research titled "Do Slickenfibers Record Episodic Tremor and Slow Slip?" for the period of May 1, 2021 through April 30, 2023.
