- This $104,044 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into the formation of metamorphic garnet minerals. The grantee, Trustees of Boston College, will conduct fieldwork, laboratory analysis, geochronology dating, high-temperature and pressure experiments, and thermodynamic modeling. This multidisciplinary work aims to test the hypothesis that metamorphism and associated fluid release can occur rapidly rather than gradually over...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $433,254 Project Grant to the University of Michigan-Dearborn under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research titled "Collaborative Research: The Role of Grain Boundary Migration in Water Weakening of Naturally Deformed Quartz." The three-year award, effective August 15, 2021 through July 31, 2024, will support basic research to enhance understanding of the integrated Earth system through studying the role of grain boundary migration...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences has awarded the University of Maryland, College Park $330,667 through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support fundamental research examining the chemical evolution of Earth's early crust-mantle system. Spanning from December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2028, this project grant will utilize state-of-the-art isotope and geochemical analytical tools to interrogate well-preserved rock samples from...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $564,439 project grant to The Johns Hopkins University from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. This funding supports research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, this project grant will fund composition and evolution research of saline fluids in the upper mantle. Studies of mantle...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $468,724 project grant under its Geosciences program to Washington State University (WSU). The grant supports research to investigate how deformation of granitic rocks may alter their geochemical and isotopic signatures, which are commonly used to reconstruct the formation and evolution of the Earth's crust. The study aims to evaluate whether variably deformed granitic rocks faithfully retain the original geochemical fingerprints of their...
- The National Science Foundation awarded Syracuse University a $274,764 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2025. The grant will support collaborative research on overstepping and the formation of metamorphic garnet through field, laboratory, geochronological, experimental and modeling studies. Key deliverables include field work, laboratory analysis, trace element thermometry, garnet geochronology, high-pressure and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.050 Geosciences provides $132,545 to the University of California, Berkeley to investigate hydrothermal alteration processes in three Proterozoic ophiolites (ancient seafloor) over the period from July 2024 to June 2027. The research aims to reconstruct past marine oxygen concentrations, radiogenic strontium isotopic composition, and oxygen isotopic composition to advance understanding of Earth's early environment and...
- The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $347,910 Project Grant to Princeton University to investigate how water influenced the formation of the Earth's core in the early stages of the planet's history. The project will use advanced computer simulations and machine learning techniques to model the interactions between metallic fluids and silicate melts under hydrous conditions, providing new insights into how water affected the distribution of key...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $101,087 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Illinois for a collaborative research project titled "Ultra-High Resolution Paleostreamflow in Southeast Asia--Proxy/Model Comparison". The goal of this 2-year project, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026, is to synthesize existing tree-ring proxy data to create a seasonal-resolution paleo-streamflow reconstruction for...
