The National Science Foundation awarded a $133,966 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. This 5-year grant will fund the deployment of a seafloor geodetic network to measure horizontal and vertical deformation along the submarine south flank of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. The research aims to better understand the geometry and behavior of the offshore fault system, including how seismic, aseismic, and slow-slip events on the fault transfer...
The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $296,022 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The grant funds research to constrain trans-crustal magmatic systems along the Aleutian Island Arc through the use of receiver functions. The Geosciences program supports basic research in the earth sciences to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system. The three-year award period will...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $347,238 to Michigan State University (MSU) to conduct collaborative research on the structure and behavior of the Alaska megathrust subduction zone. The project aims to enhance the fundamental understanding of how geological structures influence seismic activity in subduction zones, with the ultimate goal of improving earthquake hazard mitigation efforts. Key research activities...
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...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award for $226,022, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative seismic investigation of slow slip and fault locking along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone. The research team from the University of Washington will deploy broadband seismic instruments on land and use distributed acoustic sensing technology with fiber optic cables in the Cook Inlet region to model the structure and seismic wave speeds within the Pacific...
This $213,696 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award will support research to gain new insights into the subsurface magma reservoirs below Hawaii. The project will use seismic data and modern imaging techniques to determine the depth, dimensions, and melt fraction of magma storage zones, and explore the relationship between magma migration and seismic activity. The research will be conducted by the University of Illinois, with a PhD student...
