This $499,286 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to reconstruct the pattern, timing, and magnitude of past earthquakes and tsunamis along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone over the last 2,000 years. The researchers at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University will employ innovative paleogeodetic methods and tsunami simulations to quantify vertical deformation and map the spatial distribution of tsunami...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $261,123 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Oregon (UO) to conduct a comprehensive study of the Cascadia subduction zone, focusing on seismic and tsunami activity around the year 1700 CE. The key objectives are to: Map high-resolution paleotsunami deposits at two key locations along the Cascadia subduction zone, and Execute thousands of advanced tsunami inundation models to test hypotheses about...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $274,364 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The objective of this 3-year award, commencing on May 1, 2024, is to conduct a comprehensive study of the Cascadia subduction zone, focusing on seismic and tsunami activity around the year 1700 CE. UNCW will carry out high-resolution mapping of paleotsunami deposits at two key locations along the Cascadia subduction zone...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $601,477 project grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in New York City to support research titled "Collaborative Research: Sedimentary Signature of Shallow and Tsunamigenic Megathrust Ruptures: Observations and Physical Models from Recent Catastrophic Events." The three-year award, made on August 1, 2021 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund basic research to increase understanding of the...
This $110,662 federal Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Earthquake Hazards Program Assistance (CFDA 15.807), aims to develop a framework for continuously updating ground motion prediction equations. The proposed research by Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) involves collecting and processing seismic data to create physics-based and engineering-based ground motion models, leveraging a Bayesian regression approach to...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $356,642 will fund research at the University of Hawaii at Manoa from August 2022 to July 2026 under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The research aims to experimentally quantify tsunami-driven debris damming and its impact on structural loads through large wave flume experiments at the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure facility at Oregon State University. The experiments will identify the mechanisms by which debris...
This two-year, $354,309 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to develop a new three-dimensional subsurface framework model of the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest. The awardee, the University of Texas at Austin, will analyze seismic data collected during the 2021 Cascadia Seismic Imaging Experiment to study the geometry of the plate interface along the margin, variations in plate interface properties, the...
