The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a 3-year Project Grant totaling $265,694 to Western Washington University to study the impact of terrane accretion on the evolution of fault systems in the Eastern Himalaya. This research project, funded under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will reconstruct the kinematic history of a key fault system in the Eastern Himalayan indenter corner, testing the hypothesis that the accretion of sliver terranes along...
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...
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 $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 $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 $291,843 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research by the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSM&T) to investigate how accretionary sutures evolve into major strike-slip fault systems along the western margin of North America. The project aims to study the long-term evolution of the Denali Fault Zone in Alaska, which marks the boundary between the North American continental crust and...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $209,612 provides funding from August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025 to support collaborative research examining the geomorphic legacy of megaflood deposits on river processes and landform evolution in the Eastern Himalaya mountains. The award is made through NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge of integrated Earth system processes through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
This Project Grant award of $390,717 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) to the Regents of the University of Michigan will support research to understand how tectonic plate boundaries evolve over time, particularly the transition from subduction to oblique collision occurring in central New Zealand. The key research tasks include: 1) characterizing the rate and kinematics of shallow faulting near the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake; 2)...
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...
