This $544,307 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project investigating seismic cycle processes in the earthquake critical zone of major continental strike-slip faults. The research team, led by Utah State University (USU), will bridge geoscience and engineering concepts, data, and models to deliver research products and broader impacts across six key pathways: Establishing a...
This $238,111 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Harvard University from August 2022 through July 2025 to develop an understanding of the factors controlling ground surface deformation during thrust and reverse fault earthquakes. Through discrete element modeling, the researchers will generate over 6,000 two-dimensional models and additional three-dimensional models to statistically assess how fault and sediment parameters...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Frontier Research in Earth Science (FRES) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $126,858 in funding to Brown University to investigate how the "earthquake critical zone" impacts seismic processes, with the goal of improving earthquake hazard models and site response analyses. The 5-year project will bridge geoscience and engineering concepts, data, and models to characterize the material properties of two...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $225,816 will support collaborative research to investigate the evolution of elastic wave properties during the seismic cycle. The primary objectives are to explore whether variations in seismic wave properties can be identified before and/or after earthquakes, determine the underlying physical mechanisms, and assess the potential for operational forecasting of ruptures on meter-scale...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) and Hebrew University to directly measure fault rupture dynamics and seismic wave propagation in a laboratory setting. The $399,601 award, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will leverage specialized laboratory equipment to conduct high-speed imaging and in-situ seismogram...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $206,021 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Utah State University (USU) to conduct collaborative research on the evolution of elastic wave properties during the seismic cycle.
