- This $185,953 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to leverage isotopic compositions of igneous systems to resolve the geometry and distribution of subducted sediment in the southern U.S. Cordillera. The research, led by the University of Texas at El Paso, aims to determine the distribution and geometry of subducted sediment in the continental crust by using igneous rocks as "deep-crustal probes" to...
- This $634,856 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to advance equity-minded pedagogical change in the geosciences field. The project will leverage formative interventions to design and implement two learning environments: 1) an 8-hour short course for instructors to learn how racial exploitation and settler colonialism have shaped the history and current practices of the geosciences, and 2) a 2-day in-person workshop to provide...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $349,710 Project Grant to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support the collaborative proposal "GEOPATHS:IN Recruiting Through Location-Based Curriculum and Field and Laboratory Research Experience for High School Students, Teachers and Undergraduates." The two-year grant project, running from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024, will provide location-based geosciences...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $507,530 to The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The project aims to develop an unsupervised deep learning algorithm to automatically identify and classify different types of seismic activity, such as icequakes, lava lake eruptions, and ash vent signals, at Erebus Volcano in Antarctica. Once validated at Erebus, the method will...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $491,069 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) - New York City College of Technology. The 3-year award, effective November 1, 2023, aims to create a year-round geoscience workforce preparation, service learning, and career mentoring program for non-geoscience STEM students from underrepresented communities. Key objectives are to broaden the geoscience...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $206,815 Project Grant to the University of California, Berkeley under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support the collaborative research project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GEOPATHS IN: DIG CAMP - DATA IN GEOSCIENCES: COLLABORATION AND MENTORING PROGRAM?TEAMING LATINX HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS FOR DATA USE IN GEOSCIENC." The three-year award beginning October 1, 2021 will provide funding for the University of California,...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $299,958 provides funding for the Strengthening Traineeships and Research Opportunities for Next Generation Geoscientists at MSIs (STRONG at MSIs) project. The project will train ten Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and allied early career geoscience faculty, called Geoscience Faculty of the Future (GEOFFs), to effectively mentor and train STEM students from Minority Serving Institutions to thrive in geoscience graduate...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support the "Improving Minority Advancement for Geoscience Equity Nationally (IMAGEN)" project at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). The $607,542 award, effective February 15, 2024 through January 31, 2027, aims to recruit, retain, and prepare Hispanic students for geoscience careers. The project will provide professional development, community engagement, and experiential learning opportunities for Hispanic students in the geosciences at UTEP. This includes curriculum reform, close mentoring by faculty and industry professionals, and partnerships with the local community. The primary goal is to increase participation and career success of Hispanic students in the geosciences, thereby expanding the diversity of the STEM workforce. No sub-awards are planned for this project.
