This $355,607 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate an ancient example of flat-slab subduction in southern California and western Arizona. The goal is to collect data from rocks that were once located above the descending oceanic plate in order to improve simulations and understanding of similar modern tectonic settings, many of which pose significant...
The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College a three-year, $288,924 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research resolving conflicting tectonic models for the Laramide orogeny and flat-slab subduction in southern California. The University will perform three field seasons of data collection in the San Gabriel Mountains, along with geochronology, geochemistry, and microstructural laboratory...
Northern Arizona University received a $318,336 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on June 15, 2021 to fund research examining the impact of horst and graben subduction on sediment flux and shallow décollement geometry in the Japan Trench. The award will support this research project through May 31, 2024. The National Science Foundation Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050) aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanding...
This three-year, $393,948 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to resolve conflicting tectonic models for the Laramide orogeny and flat-slab subduction in southern California. The grantee, the University Corporation at California State University, Northridge, will support field work and laboratory analyses in the San Gabriel Mountains to better understand the timing and driving forces behind mountain building in the western...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $193,980 to the University of Arizona to evaluate the continental crust as a key reservoir of Earth's nitrogen and constrain the nitrogen abundance of primitive arc magmas. The research team will analyze rock samples from the Sierra Nevada and Transverse Ranges in California, as well as the lower crust in Chino Valley, Arizona, to determine the nitrogen content of the continental...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $397,841 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The University Corporation at California State University, Northridge. The grant will fund a 2-year project to study the process of subduction termination along the central California continental margin. The project will use new offshore and onshore seismic data, along with geochemical analysis of surface volcanic rocks, to investigate the controversial "Isabella...
This $550,014 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research at Arizona State University to advance understanding of the influence of subducted slabs on thermal and chemical heterogeneities in Earth's lowermost mantle. The awardee will perform high-resolution thermo-chemical modeling using supercomputing to simulate the variable behaviors and interactions of subducted tectonic plates...
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 Earth Sciences awarded a $699,380 project grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Stony Brook University, under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund collaborative research to integrate fluorspar age dating and geophysical models to investigate the timing and mechanisms of the collapse of the Cordillera mountain range in southwestern North America approximately 30 million...
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...
