- Federal Grant Award Summary The University of Arizona received a $218,764 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on August 1, 2025, with completion expected July 31, 2028. This collaborative research initiative delivers fundamental scientific knowledge and observational data on post-wildfire debris flow dynamics by deploying a network of nodal seismometers in recently burned areas to monitor ground vibrations...
- This $109,466 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), will fund collaborative research between the University of Texas at El Paso and researchers in Ecuador. The research aims to provide insights into the geologic processes and hazards along ocean-continent subduction plate boundaries through an integrated study of sedimentary basins and magmatism records across Ecuador. Researchers will employ...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $352,839 to the University of Texas at El Paso from April 2021 through September 2023. The funding supports analysis of a high-quality aftershock data set from the 2017 Tehuantepec (M8.2) offshore Mexico earthquake. As part of basic research into integrated earth systems, the University will leverage the unique data to gain insights into seismic processes within subduction zones. Results from the...
- Lehigh University has been awarded a $348,716 project grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on 3D imaging of subduction zone megathrust rupture and slip behavior from October 2023 through June 2025. The research team, led by Drs. Meltzer and Beck at Lehigh University, will analyze seismic data collected in northern Ecuador between 2020 and 2022 to generate detailed 3D images of the subduction zone fault geometry...
- The University of Arizona was awarded a three-year, $380,380 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research to experimentally constrain the solidification time scales and fragmentation of submarine lava flows. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $305,251 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research examining metamorphic rocks from ancient subduction zones in the Baja California peninsula from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The research aims to quantify the pressure-temperature-time histories of amphibolite, blueschist, and eclogite rocks using advanced thermobarometry and petrochronology techniques to better understand the...
- This $203,961 National Science Foundation Project Grant from the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to develop a new 3D velocity and structural model of sedimentary basins in the Los Angeles region. The University of Arizona will receive funding from January 15, 2023 to June 30, 2023 to conduct seismic field experiments using over 700 instruments across 10 lines. This will allow imaging of subsurface structures channeling earthquake waves into downtown Los Angeles at a higher...
- The University of Arizona was awarded a $466,484 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to conduct research related to concentration-ratio-discharge relationships of transient water-age distributions. Specifically, the University will collaborate on research examining the dynamics of water movement and mixing within watersheds and aquifers through the project period of January 15, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The research is intended to strengthen...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $135,983 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of the Incarnate Word for collaborative research titled "A Geochemical Approach to Quantifying the Magnitude of Strain and Fluid Flow Along the Subduction Interface."
