The goal of the project is to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $484,930 Project Grant to Columbia University to develop a novel multi-camera system for continuous, real-time monitoring of active volcanoes. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this two-year project aims to create an integrated system that can autonomously observe volcanoes across visible, thermal, and ultraviolet wavelengths to extract critical monitoring data. The system will automatically analyze the video...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $493,422 over 3 years to The Trustees of Columbia University for a collaborative research project to diagnose global climatic responses to large volcanic eruptions. The key products or services to be delivered through this funding include: Providing proxy-based global estimates of spatiotemporal changes in temperature and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $296,096 to Brown University provides funding to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle beneath active volcanoes using new seismic analysis techniques. The 2-year project, starting on Sep 1, 2024, aims to advance understanding of how magma storage and migration affect the eruptibility of volcanoes in regions like Yellowstone, the Cascades Arc, and the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex. Key...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences awarded Columbia University a $386,037 Project Grant (CFDA 47.050 – Geosciences) effective August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2028, to investigate mantle versus crustal processes in subduction zone volcanism. The research focuses on determining the origin of silicic, volatile-rich melts in young Mexican volcanoes by analyzing mineral compositions—specifically olivines and chromium-spinels—from silicic magmas...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant award for $180,000 from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026 will support research to develop a new "Eruption Stability Diagram" classification system for volcanic eruptions. The objective is to better understand and predict the evolution of volcanic hazards, such as ash clouds and pyroclastic density currents, by accounting for the effects of varying eruption rates and micrometer-scale processes. The research...
- The National Science Foundation awarded $499,088 under the Geosciences (47.050) federal grant program to The University of New Mexico from September 2022 to August 2024. This Project Grant will support the establishment of a new national volcano science center called the Converse Center. The Center aims to advance scientific understanding of volcanic processes through coordinated observation and data collection during eruptions. It will establish best practices for multi-scale data gathering and...
- This $490,303 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project aimed at improving the understanding of lava flow properties and their impact on volcanic eruption hazard assessment. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Developing and deploying two new field tools to directly measure the viscosity of natural lava flows, which contain critical elements like bubbles and crystals...
- Federal Grant Award Summary Columbia University received a $680,331 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded March 1, 2026, with completion targeted for February 28, 2029. The project delivers long-term seafloor monitoring data and novel instrumentation testing through the deployment of three high-resolution seafloor compliance instruments at Axial Volcano, a submarine volcano offshore Cascadia that...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $241,928 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to continue the development and expansion of Project VICTOR, the Volcanology Infrastructure for Computational Tools and Resources. This project will enhance the VICTOR platform, which provides a novel cyberinfrastructure for the volcanology community to execute numerical simulations of volcanic processes and promote open science. The key activities include: (1) integrating community software codes, (2) hosting workshops, (3) developing educator training and teaching modules, and (4) establishing a community governance structure. The project aims to catalyze the volcanology modeling community, advance model quality and access, and promote model literacy and collaboration. This award is funded through the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports fundamental research to expand knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system.
