The grant supports collaborative research toward developing an integrated modeling framework for physics-based estimates of megathrust rupture potential. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in...
This Project Grant award of $172,793 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support a collaborative research project. The goal is to study a geological core sample from the U.S. Midwest that provides a record of the dramatic climate transition from a glacial "icehouse" period to a severe "hothouse" period approximately 300 million years ago, culminating in the largest mass extinction...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Purdue University will provide $256,352 from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2027 to conduct a continental-scale study of Jurassic-Cretaceous basins and mélange belts along the North American Cordillera. The research aims to test competing models for the Mesozoic development of the western Cordillera and its implications for subduction polarity. Key activities will include analyzing the age, provenance,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) in the amount of $191,710 awarded to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) aims to advance scientific understanding of the complex relationship between plate tectonics and great earthquakes. The interdisciplinary research team will develop new computational methods and software, called RHEA, to efficiently model the long-term physics driving plate motions and the short-term dynamics of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant worth $302,361 will support collaborative research by Principal Investigators Flesch and Elliott at Purdue University from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The project aims to characterize the kinematics and dynamics of the Arctic region on the margins of Russia, Alaska, and Canada by analyzing GPS data and developing sophisticated computer models. Key objectives include: 1) Mapping the current surface...
This $228,331 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research to understand the evolution of continental lithosphere beneath New England through geologic time. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research team will employ seismic imaging techniques and analyze geologic structures exposed at the surface to illuminate plate tectonic processes that have shaped the region. Specifically, the investigators from the University of Vermont and partner...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $205,000 to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) will fund collaborative research to bridge short and long time scales in global plate tectonics. The project will use sophisticated computational models to address the underlying geophysical connections linking great earthquakes with plate tectonics, improving understanding of when and where these seismic events occur....
