This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $358,891 will fund research and educational activities related to understanding the cycling of halogens like chlorine and fluorine in Earth's early magmas and fluids. Led by the University of Rochester under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the project aims to advance fundamental knowledge of integrated Earth system processes through targeted studies of ancient zircon minerals. Key deliverables include high-temperature and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $291,557 to Brown University to conduct collaborative research on the behavior of halogen elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine) in continental volcanic arc systems. The key objectives are to: Determine whether halogens are concentrated more in plutonic or volcanic rocks within the same ancient arc system exposed in the Sierra Nevada, California. Identify the primary mineral...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded Pomona College a $114,019 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on halogen behavior in the pluton-to-volcanic arc system from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The research will measure halogen concentrations in intrusive plutonic rocks and extrusive volcanic rocks from the same ancient arc system now exposed in the Sierra Nevada, California. This will help...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $149,580 Project Grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on halogen behavior in the pluton-to-volcanic arc system. Over a three year period ending July 2025, researchers will measure halogen concentrations in intrusive and extrusive rock samples from the Sierra Nevada arc to characterize halogen composition and behavior within the arc magmatic system. Specific products...
This $335,489 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project focused on understanding the depth-dependent decarbonation processes that occur when hot magma interacts with the Earth's crust in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. The project combines field studies, laboratory analyses, and numerical modeling to explore how metamorphic pressure, temperature, and fluid availability influence...
This $254,882 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research investigating the sensitivity of reactive halogen abundance to glacial-interglacial climate change. Over a three-year period ending June 2025, the University of Rochester will examine how blowing snow on sea ice may explain increased sodium ion observations in ice cores over glacial-interglacial timescales. The project will also identify major drivers for reactive halogen...
The University of California, Santa Barbara will research how sedimentary rocks become part of the lower continental crust under a $353,586 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The two-year grant running from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024 will fund basic research into the integrated Earth system through studying the processes by which sedimentary materials are incorporated into the lower section of continental tectonic plates. Insights...
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...
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...
This $174,000 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences will fund research to advance understanding of carbonate diagenesis using the triple oxygen isotope system. The grant was awarded on February 1, 2021 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) with completion by January 31, 2023. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen fundamental earth science knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research support in...
