This $229,971 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) will support a collaborative research project to evaluate the role of terrane accretion on the evolution of indenter corner fault systems in the Eastern Himalayan region. The key objectives of the 3-year project are to reconstruct the kinematic history of a triple junction in the Eastern Himalayan indenter corner, focusing on the Noa Dihing Fault, in order to test the...
This three-year, $108,172 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to resolve conflicting evidence regarding metamorphic pressures and stratigraphy in the Tethyan Himalaya. The grantee, Amherst College, will lead an integrated field and laboratory study examining the geometric, temperature, and pressure relationships in metamorphic rocks. The research aims to test the controversial concept of non-lithostatic pressure preservation...
This three-year, $212,432 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to resolve conflicting evidence regarding metamorphic pressures and stratigraphy in the Tethyan Himalaya. The grantee, University of North Carolina at Wilmington, will lead an integrated field and laboratory study to determine the geometric, temperature, and pressure relationships in this region and assess the viability of non-lithostatic pressure conditions...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $247,428 Project Grant to Trustees of Dartmouth College, Office of Sponsored Projects Division (Dartmouth College), under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The goal of this 3-year collaborative research project is to examine the Porcupine Fault System in northeastern Alaska and northwestern Yukon, Canada, which likely played a key role in the Mesozoic opening of the Arctic Ocean. The research involves a new...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $253,617 will fund research from August 2022 to July 2025 to resolve conflicting evidence regarding metamorphic pressures and stratigraphy in the Tethyan Himalaya. The research team from the University of Nevada, Reno will conduct integrated field and laboratory studies to determine the geometric, temperature, and pressure relationships in basal strata of the Tethyan section. They will test the controversial concept of non-lithostatic pressure...
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 University of Massachusetts received a $371,071 project grant award from the National Science Foundation on April 1, 2021 to support research examining the role of strike-slip fault interaction on long-term slip rates. The three-year award, made under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund basic research exploring integrated earth system processes through studying the effects of interacting strike-slip faults on slip accumulation over time. The Geosciences program aims to...
This $449,746 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of Nevada, Reno to investigate how the continental crust responds structurally, thermally, and compositionally to the transition from subduction to collision during plate convergence. Specifically, the research team will establish a cross-section through the ancient Gangdese batholith crust in southern Tibet to study how crustal properties vary with depth. They...
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...
