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 $413,487 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports the development of the "SANDPIPER" community toolchain to advance geomorphology research from data acquisition to analysis. The key objectives are to: Design and implement an affordable, open-source hardware-firmware system for geomorphological data acquisition in labs globally. Establish a community-backed data standard to...
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...
This $185,094 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the acquisition of an energy dispersive spectrometer and carbon coater for a field emission scanning electron microscope facility at the University of California, Berkeley. The new analytical equipment will enhance the university's research capabilities in areas such as volcano petrology, igneous petrology, and mantle geochemistry by enabling rapid multi-scale geochemical mapping and analysis of...
